Pacific University

Pacific University is a private university located in Oregon, United States. The first campus began more than 160 years ago and is located about west of Portland in Forest Grove. Pacific University has four campuses within Oregon in the cities of Forest Grove, Eugene, Hillsboro and Woodburn.
Established as Tualatin Academy in 1849, the school has an enrollment of more than 3,500 students.〔 Founded by the United Church of Christ (UCC), the university's motto is ''Pro Christo et Regno Ejus'', which is Latin for "For Christ and His Kingdom." Although the university has long been independent of the UCC, it still maintains a close working relationship with the church as a member of the United Church of Christ Council for Higher Education.〔(Who We Are ) Pacific University. Retrieved on Sept. 19, 2014.〕 The university is now a small private, independent liberal arts school, offering graduate programs in education, optometry, writing, health professions and business.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pacific University adds College of Business )
==History==
Tabitha Brown, a pioneer emigrant from Massachusetts, immigrated to the Oregon Country over the new Applegate Trail in 1846.〔
〕 After arriving in Oregon she helped to start an orphanage and school along with Rev. Harvey L. Clark in Forest Grove in 1847 to care for the orphans of Applegate Trail party.〔〔Horner, John B. (''Oregon: Her History, Her Great Men, Her Literature'' ). Corvallis, OR: Gazette-Times, 1919; pp. 159-160.〕〔Carey, Charles Henry. (1922). (''History of Oregon'' ). Pioneer Historical Publishing Co. p. 340, 350, 507, 724.〕 In March 1848, Tualatin Academy was established from the orphanage with Clark donating to the school.〔 George H. Atkinson had advocated the founding of the school and with support of the Presbyterians and Congregationalists helped to start the academy.〔 Eliza Hart Spalding, part of the Whitman Mission, was its first teacher.
The academy was officially chartered by the territorial legislature on September 29, 1849.〔〔 The reverend Clark served as the first president of the board of trustees and later donated an additional to the institution.〔 In 1851, what is now Old College Hall was built and in 1853 Sidney H. Marsh became the school's first president.〔 The current campus was deeded in 1851.〔Deed, April 3, 1851, Washington Country, Oregon〕 In 1854, the institution became Pacific University.〔 The first commencement occurred in 1863 with Harvey W. Scott as the only graduate.〔
In 1872, three Japanese students started at the university as part of that country's modernization movement, with all three graduating in 1876.〔 These students were Hatstara Tamura, Kin Saito, and Yei Nosea.〔 President Marsh died in 1879 and was replaced by John R. Herrick.〔 In the late 1890s an alumnus gave Pacific a Chinese statuette. The statuette was purchased from a Chinese family who used it as a sort of coat of arms. It appears to be a mix of a several different mythical creatures although it is often simply called a "dragon dog" and serves as the foundation for the university's mascot, the Boxer.〔(Boxer Spirit ) Pacific University. Retrieved September 19, 2014.〕
Marsh Hall was built in 1895 and named for Pacific's first president, 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. The library was designed by Portland architecture firm Whidden and Lewis. In 1915, the preparatory department, Tualatin Academy, closed due to the proliferation of public high schools in the state.〔 By 1920, the school had grown to a total of five buildings on and had an endowment of approximately $250,000.
Marsh Hall was gutted by fire in 1975, but its shell was preserved, and the structure reopened in 1977. Dr. Phillip D. Creighton became Pacific's sixteenth president in August 2003 and retired in June 2009.〔Christensen, Nick. (“Search on for new Pacific University president : Creighton led university's growth, within Forest Grove and east to Hillsboro”, ) ''The Hillsboro Argus'', September 22, 2008.〕 Tommy Thayer, lead guitarist of the band KISS was elected to the university's board of trustees in 2005.〔(Tommy Thayer Goes To College - Board Approved. ) TommyThayer.com. Retrieved on September 15, 2007.〕 Pacific's seventeenth president, Dr. Lesley M. Hallick, was named on May 19, 2009.〔(OHSU provost says she's eager to take helm at Pacific University. ) ''News-Times''. Retrieved on August 10, 2009.〕
