Pacific University campus in 1868

Title

Pacific University campus in 1868

Description

This illustration depicting the Pacific University campus appeared as the frontispiece of its annual Catalogue in 1868. It was reprinted numerous times in campus publications. In later reproductions it was printed with the caption, 'Old wood cut of Pacific University campus as it appeared in 1870.' The view is taken from the middle of campus, standing approximately where the current Library now stands, looking west. From the left, the buildings are: 1. Congregational Church of Forest Grove (burned 1901); 2. Old College Hall (since moved to a new location); 3. Unidentified house, possibly President Marsh's (no longer in the same location); 4. Academy Hall (burned 1910). At the time the illustration was created, Old College Hall and Academy Hall were the only two classroom buildings on campus.
