Description
-
This is an oil painting of one of the founders of Pacific University, Tabitha Moffatt Brown. This portrait was made between 1900-1949 and is the only known existing painting of her. It was painted from the only known existing photograph of her. The portrait was painted by Brown’s great great granddaughter Lilian P. Bain. Brown made a vast contribution to Pacific. Her original vision was to turn it into a house for poor children. Students, whose parents could afford it, were to pay 1 dollar. Brown also decided to work the entire first year without pay. Her jobs included teaching, managing, and housekeeping. Brown is the only woman founder of Pacific University and is an important figure in Pacific University history.
