Pacific University Scott Hall Time Capsule Collection

This small collection of material was formerly deposited in a time capsule within Scott Hall on the Pacific University Campus. The time capsule was sealed during the dedication of Scott Hall, which was at the time called the Harvey Scott Library, in 1967. Contents include a sealed 1967 Pacific University catalog; a Spring 1967 issue of the Pacific Review; a Pacific University faculty handbook; a copy of the final construction bill for Scott Hall; notes and minutes from student government meetings; a list of recent additions to the library collection; and a Coors Beer label signed by three members of the Pacific University student government. The beer label was surreptitiously placed the label within the time capsule, according to the alumni's reports. The capsule was opened on the 50th anniversary year of Scott Hall's dedication in 2017. The metal capsule that originally housed the collection was returned for use as a new time capsule in Scott Hall's walls.
