Phi Alpha Tau Fraternity
Title
Phi Alpha Tau Fraternity
Description
A photograph of the members of the Pacific University chapter of the Phi Alpha Tau fraternity. Phi Alpha Tau was an honorary fraternity "developed to the interest and development of the public speaking arts" for students "having represented the college in debate, oratory or dramatics."
This image probably depicts the founding members of the chapter in spring 1914 or shortly thereafter. A Pacific University Index student newspaper article published on January 27, 1914, identified the charter student members as: Alva Philip Patten, Ivan Donaldson, Clinton Edgar Ostrander, Charles Lachan McNeill, and Howard Rice Taylor; and charter faculty members as: President Charles J. Bushnell, Professor William Martin Proctor and Professor William Grueby Harrington. President Bushnell appears in the front row, second from the left. Professor Proctor is in the first row, third from left.
This image was clipped from an unidentified printed source. It is based on an earlier original photograph. A copy of the original is in the Pacific University President Bushnell Collection (see image PUApic_015692). The clipping is pasted into a scrapbook compiled by Frances B. Clapp, a 1908 Pacific University graduate.
