Weekly Index of Pacific University: Mrs. Ehrgott of Portland Speaks On Suffrage
No full textThis is a 1912, Pacific University Index Article. It talks about the speech of the leader Mrs. Erhgott, whom speaks upon the subject of women's suffrage. She describes the rights of women as something that was gained over time. Mrs. Ergott used the arguments of Medieval scholars debates of women having souls, talks about the Quakers being the only religious group in the early United States giving women the right to vote, and then goes into the subject of the Boston school system shutting its doors to women in 1812, and how by this point women finally argued against their separation from education. In 1912, Mrs. Erhgott compelled a crowd to consider also giving women the right to vote. As she argues, many women were already starting to go into the public business world and 17 percent of high school graduates come from high school. She further argued, that it would only be fair to let women have the right to vote, because women who are educated do make society better, and excluding them would exclude an significant portion of the population from having a say in society. At the time, there existed a anti-womens suffrage movement to counter her. They believed that when women received the right to vote, that they would not use the right to vote. Her speech countered their objections by attracting a large crowd interested in her speech

1987 Pacific University Self-Study Reports Excerpts
No full textThe Pacific University Self-Study Reports are a series of decennial reports that lay out University goals, collect and interpret data related to student admissions, graduations, faculty size increases, university finances and more. The reports can act as a valuable measure of race and gender related issues both in what they directly say and what is left out.
In the 1987, there were no mentions of racial and ethnic diversity as an explicit University goal as there was in the '77 reports. It is also missing a racial/ethnic breakdown of admitted or graduating students.
This selection shows a brief description of Pacific's minority recruitment program and its efforts to 'familiarize minority students and their parents with higher education opportunities' and which includes a Minority Pre-College Program that visited high schools to entice minority students

1977 Pacific University Self-Study Reports Excerpts
No full textThe Pacific University Self-Study Reports are a series of decennial reports that lay out University goals, collect and interpret data related to student admissions, graduations, faculty size increases, university finances and more. The reports can act as a valuable measure of race and gender related issues both in what they directly say and what is left out.
The 1977 reports expresses racial and gender diversity as a main goal for the University. Specifically, this is expressed a 'maintain[ing]' an 'ethnic and social and coed mix of [the] student body.'
On the twelfth page of the introduction attention is drawn to Black Culture Week and the Hawaiian Luau which are considered 'grand celebrations' of minority culture. Having an excess of 20% of students as minorities is considered an indication of achieving University goals. Rather than expressing a goal to diversify the mix of students, or increase acceptance of minorities, the goal is explicitly to 'maintain the mix'.
Section VIII, E-12 shows the number of graduating students in May '77 broken down by major field of study, gender and racial background. This was the first time race and ethnicity was reported in these self-studies, but this practice would not be followed in the '87 and '97 reports. The documents featured show important statistics about the portion of women undergraduate and graduate students who were minorities

Pacific University Trustees 1882 meeting minutes regarding Indian School student Peter Stanup
Full text linkMinutes taken at a meeting of the Pacific University Board of Trustees on June 6, 1882. As part of a discussion of how much might be spent on scholarships for tution, they noted, 'Mr. Stanup, a Puyallup Indian for example, wishes to come next year, and others apply often, whom we would like to help if in our power. Is the amount, raised by the President as scholarship fund available?' Henry Stanup, who was enrolled at the Forest Grove Indian Training School from 1880-81, had written asking permission to enroll in Tualatin Academy, which was the college preparatory high school attached to Pacific University. Stanup was ultimately unable to attend the school due to health reasons. His letters to Professor Joseph J. Marsh about his wishes to attend and his health problems explain the outcome in more detail. It is unclear whether Stanup was ever offered a scholarship. Several other Indian School students did however enroll as students at the Academy
