"Ground was broken with appropriate ceremonies on Commencement Day ..." Manuscript draft of an essay in support of fundraising to build Marsh Hall., 1893

This collection is primarily composed of incoming correspondence that President McClelland received during his time at Pacific University. The most common topic within the letters is fundraising, followed by requests for course catalogs and inquiries about affairs at Pacific University. Enclosed in one letter, there is a set of reports by an undercover police agent who observed illegal liquor sales at a drug store in Forest Grove. There are also several manuscripts of writings by McClelland related to Pacific University, commencement programs, and other materials.
