On February 12, 1924, the concrete work by contractors J.E. Bonnell & Sons on Jones Hall, the first building to be constructed on the new College of Puget Sound campus, was almost complete. The red tile roof was scheduled to be done next. The building was designed by the architecture firm of Sutton, Whitney & Dugan, as was the entire original campus. The school was patterned after the English educational institution of Cambridge. When completed, Jones Hall would represent an investment of $300,000. It was built completely of reinforced concrete with brick veneer, making the building fireproof. It was scheduled to be finished in early summer, in time for the college to transfer from 602 No. Sprague (now the site of Jason Lee) to this location and open for classes in the fall.

Knights of the Log. Organized at the College of Puget Sound in the fall of 1923, the group resembled the national honorary fraternity, the Intercollegiate Knights. They worked to promote good fellowship and school pride by boosting student activities and leading pep rallies. The Knights sought to make C.P.S. "the best school in the West." This photograph was used in the 1924 school yearbook, the Tamanawas, and listed the last names only of the men. (1924 Tamanawas, p. 115) G67.1-031

ca. 1907. Established by the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1888 as Puget Sound University and reorganized in 1903 as the University of Puget Sound, the university opened its first permanent campus at 602 North Sprague Ave. that year. Noted architect George W. Bullard designed the buildings. In 1924 the university moved to its present location at 1500 North Warner and the buildings were demolished.

Pacific Lutheran College, exterior of the Music/chapel building with students. The building with the spire is the combination chapel, music and speech building dedicated in 1952 and designed by Lea, Pearson and Richards. The building is now known as the Eastvold Chapel, named after Dr. S.C. Eastvold, president of the college during its greatest period of growth. The three story building is concrete faced with brick and forms a quadrangle with the Science Hall, library (to the left of the picture) and Old Main. The library, science hall, chapel and student union buildings were all built around the same time period. The 126 acre campus had stately Douglas firs and lush green lawns that set off the neat modern buildings. It was considered one the finest small colleges in America. (TNT 10/19/1956, pg. B-1+)

Homecoming Queen and court for Pacific Lutheran College. PLC Homecoming for the school year 1956-57 was a special nod to the Walt and the Mouse with a Disneyland theme.

Queen Carol was from Milwaukie, Oregon and was majoring in physical education. She planned to be a high school teacher. Princess Winnie (Winnifred) was from Milton, Wa., graduated from Fife High School and majored in education. Princess Betty was from Bellingham, Wa., and received a B.A. degree. More than 1,100 people watched the crowning ceremony. Although homecoming had been celebrated at the College for many years, the first Homecoming Queen was elected in 1941. (TNT 10/19/1956, pg.

Publicity for College of Puget Sound "Bricks-krieg," brick-selling campaign to build a new Student Union Building. On April 18, 1941, five young women pose with a mound of bricks outside of the American Machinery & Electric Co. at 2123 Pacific Ave. On the top row right are Beverly Berlie and bottom row right Jean Battin. Although the publicity shots were made with real bricks, souvenir paper bricks were sold during the campaign. Plans to build the Student Union had stalled due to the increase in wartime construction costs. Bids to built the Student Union were up 50 % over the original estimates. CPS policy was to have all funds in place before commencing construction.The student body stepped in to raise the needed funds. On April 23-24, 600 CPS students descended on Tacoma to sell the residents 40,000 bricks at 50 cents each. (1941 C.P.S. annual, Tamanawas)
