Key Information

History

[edit]
Marsh Hall

Tabitha Moffatt Brown immigrated to the Oregon Country over the new Applegate Trail in 1846.[5] She and Harvey L. Clark started a school and orphanage in Forest Grove in 1847 to care for the orphans of Applegate Trail party.[5][6][7] In March 1848, Tualatin Academy was established from the orphanage, with Clark donating 200 acres (80.9 ha) to the school.[7] George H. Atkinson had advocated the founding of the school and with support of the Presbyterians and Congregationalists helped start the academy.[6] Although the university has long been independent of its founding affiliation with the United Church of Christ (UCC), it still maintains a close working relationship with the church as a member of the United Church of Christ Council for Higher Education.

Tualatin Academy was officially chartered by the territorial legislature on September 29, 1849.[6][8] Clark was the first president of the board of trustees and later donated an additional 150 acres (60.7 ha) to the institution.[8] In 1851, what is now Old College Hall was built and in 1853 Sidney H. Marsh became the school's first president.[6] The current campus was deeded in 1851.[9] In 1854, when the first college classes were added, Pacific University was established.[7] Tualatin Academy continued to operate until 1914 as a private high school separate from but affiliated with the university.[10]

The first university commencement occurred in 1863, with Harvey W. Scott as the only graduate.[6] In 1872, three Japanese students, Hatstara Tamura, Kin Saito, and Yei Nosea, started at the university as part of Japan's modernization movement. All three graduated in 1876.[6] Marsh died in 1879 and was replaced by John R. Herrick.[8]

Marsh Hall was built in 1895, serving as the central building on Pacific's campus. Carnegie Library (now Carnegie Hall) opened in 1912 after Andrew Carnegie's foundation helped finance the brick structure.[11] Portland architecture firm Whidden and Lewis designed the library.[12] In 1915, the preparatory department, Tualatin Academy, closed due to the proliferation of public high schools in Oregon.[8] By 1920, the school had grown to five buildings on 30 acres (12.1 ha) and had an endowment of about $250,000.[8]

Marsh Hall was gutted by fire in 1975, but its shell was preserved, and the structure reopened in 1977. Phillip D. Creighton became Pacific's 16th president in 2003 and retired in 2009.[13] Tommy Thayer, lead guitarist of the band KISS, was elected to the university's board of trustees in 2005.[14] Pacific's 17th president, Lesley M. Hallick, was named on May 19, 2009.[15] She retired in 2022.[16]

On February 9, 2022, Jenny Coyle was named the 18th president of Pacific University. She is the first alumnus to serve as president, having earned her bachelor's degree, master's degree and Doctor of Optometry from the university. Coyle previously served as a faculty member and dean of Pacific's College of Optometry.[17]

Mascot

[edit]

In 1896, alumnus J.E. Walker, who had been a missionary to China, and his mother gave the university a bronze Chinese statue.[18] Qilin (pronounced chee-lin or ki-rin) is a mythical Chinese creature with a leonine stance, a unicorn-like horn, and deer or ox hooves from the Qing dynasty. During this period, qilin were often represented with a dragon head, fish scales, ox hooves and a lion's tail. Said to be a good omen of wisdom and prosperity, the Pacific qilin was nicknamed Boxer by its Chinese and Japanese students as an embodiment of the community's cultural diversity.[18]

In the first half of the 20th century, the original mascot was the center of informal "Boxer Toss" events, where different clubs and groups scrimmaged for the statue as a tradition of passing its care from one group to another.[19] In 1968, Boxer became the university's official mascot, replacing Benny Badger.[18]

In 1969, the statue went missing and remained so for the next 55 years. Various pieces of Boxer were returned to the university over the years, including the statue's tail in 2012.[20] In 2024, the original statue was returned to the university, largely intact.[21]

Two recasts of Boxer were created in the original statue's absence. In the 1980s, the statue was recast as Boxer II; after supposedly enjoying an epic road trip across America, it too disappeared in the mid-2000s.[22]

In 2006, the university commissioned a 12-foot sculpture to replace the missing Boxers, which now stands in a central park welcoming students to Vandervelden Court residence hall.[18] In 2018, alumni funded the design and casting of Boxer III by artist Pat Costello, unveiled during Homecoming weekend. Kept in trust as part of the university's art collection, the statue and exhibits on its cultural and community history are on display in the Tran Library.[22]

History

Founding and early years

Pacific University traces its origins to 1849, when it was established as Tualatin Academy in Forest Grove, Oregon, by Congregational missionaries Tabitha Moffatt Brown and Rev. Harvey Clark, with key support from Rev. George H. Atkinson. Brown, a widow who had arrived on the , advocated for an orphanage and school to educate the children of settlers, particularly orphans left destitute by the arduous journey west. Clark, a focused on education in the , collaborated with her to secure community and church backing for the venture. The academy's founding reflected the broader efforts of Congregationalists to build educational institutions in the to support moral and intellectual development among pioneers. On September 26, 1849, the Territorial Legislature granted a to in one of its earliest official actions, authorizing the school to provide for settlers' children. The institution opened that fall in a , initially serving a small number of students with basic instruction in . By 1850, construction began on Old College Hall, the academy's first permanent building, funded through donations from local settlers and East Coast supporters. The focus remained on preparatory education to prepare youth for self-sufficiency in the developing territory. In 1853, under the leadership of the newly appointed first president, Sidney Harper Marsh, the academy transitioned to offering college-level instruction, expanding beyond secondary schooling. This shift prompted a charter amendment in 1854, renaming the higher education component to signify its growing ambitions as a liberal arts institution serving the . The university emphasized classical studies, sciences, and teacher training, aiming to cultivate educators and leaders for Oregon's emerging society. Its early curriculum was co-educational, admitting both men and women from the outset, which was progressive for the era. Pacific University held its first college commencement in 1863, awarding baccalaureate degrees to a small class of graduates, including Harvey W. Scott, who later became a prominent editor of . This milestone marked the institution as the first in the to confer higher degrees, underscoring its pivotal role in regional . The university also contributed to early Oregon's educational landscape by integrating Native American students, such as members of the local Tualatin Kalapuya tribe, though challenges like disease and forced relocations limited sustained enrollment; later, it hosted the Forest Grove Indian Training School from 1880 to 1885 as part of federal assimilation policies aimed at "civilizing" Native children through English-only education and manual labor. The school faced controversies including cultural erasure, strict discipline, and the deaths of at least 11 students, reflecting broader harms of such institutions; it relocated to Salem in 1885 and evolved into .

Institutional development

In the late 19th century, Pacific University expanded its physical to support growing academic ambitions. Marsh Hall, completed in 1895 at a cost of $41,987 and designed by architects McCaw and Martin, became the central administrative and instructional building on the Forest Grove campus, housing classrooms, a library, offices, and a . This construction marked a significant investment in the institution's permanence, complementing earlier structures like Old College Hall, built in 1850 and recognized as the oldest continuously used educational building west of the . Marsh Hall suffered severe damage from a in 1975, which gutted much of its interior, but its exterior shell was preserved and the building was fully restored to continue serving as a key academic facility. By the early , the university experienced steady growth in enrollment and academic offerings as it transitioned from its preparatory academy roots toward a focus on higher education. Public high schools began to emerge across , leading to the closure of the affiliated Tualatin Academy in and allowing Pacific to concentrate on collegiate-level programs; enrollment shifted accordingly, with the first baccalaureate degrees awarded as early as 1863 but expanding notably in the subsequent decades. In 1911, the State authorized Pacific to recommend graduates for high school teaching certificates, formalizing its entry into professional education training. This period also saw the introduction of courses within the liberal arts curriculum during the and , reflecting a broader from the institution's original Congregationalist influences toward a comprehensive university model emphasizing practical and professional preparation. The mid-20th century brought further diversification through health professions. In 1945, Pacific University merged with the Northwest College of —originally established in Portland in 1910 as the DeKeyser Institute—to create the College of , marking the institution's first foray into graduate-level healthcare education and establishing Oregon's pioneering program in the field. This integration addressed postwar demand for optometric training and solidified the university's shift to a multifaceted academic entity. World War II profoundly influenced campus life and postwar expansion. During the conflict, Pacific hosted U.S. Navy training programs, adapting facilities for military instruction amid a temporary dip in civilian enrollment as students enlisted. Following the war, the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944—commonly known as the —sparked a surge in veteran enrollment, dramatically increasing student numbers and prompting infrastructure adaptations to accommodate the influx. Accreditation efforts underscored the university's maturing status. In 1929, Pacific received its initial accreditation from the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges (now the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities), affirming its adherence to regional standards for higher education and enabling broader recognition of its degrees. This milestone, building on earlier state approvals, supported ongoing program development through the mid-20th century.

Modern leadership and milestones

In 2022, Pacific University appointed Dr. Jennifer (Jenny) Coyle as its 18th president, effective July 1, marking the first time an alumna has held the role. Coyle, who earned her bachelor's, OD, and MS degrees from the university, previously served as dean of the College of Optometry at Marshall B. Ketchum University, where she advanced clinical education and international partnerships. Her leadership has emphasized strategic growth in health professions and amid evolving higher education challenges. A notable milestone occurred in 2024 with the return of the original Boxer statue, the university's iconic mascot, after it had been missing since 1969. Donated in the late as a qilin figure from and named "Boxer" in reference to the early 20th-century , the bronze statue symbolizes the institution's enduring traditions and was officially tied to the "Boxers" nickname following its adoption in 1968. The recovery, facilitated through alumni connections, reinvigorated campus spirit and highlighted Pacific's historical roots. During the 2010s, Pacific University significantly expanded its graduate programs, particularly in health professions, with the opening of specialized facilities like the Hillsboro Health Professions Campus in 2006 and new offerings in , , and studies. This focus contributed to enrollment growth, reaching over 3,400 students by the 2023–2024 . In response to the , the university adopted hybrid learning models from 2020 to 2022, blending online and in-person instruction to ensure continuity while prioritizing and safety. The 2024 academic year featured celebrations of Pacific University's 175th anniversary, founded in 1849, underscoring its mission of "uplifting those who uphold others" through education in service-oriented fields. Events throughout the year emphasized innovation, community impact, and the institution's evolution into a comprehensive university serving diverse learners.
