Founded in 1849, this university may be the second oldest institution continuously operating in the State of Oregon. Can you name the campus? Answer: Station Q207 was set in 1934 in the base of a petrified stump monument. The stump monument was erected by the Pacific University Class of 1867 and memorializes the location of a log building which was the first home of Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. Old College Hall stands nearby (Photo 3). The Old College Hall building was erected in 1850 and has been moved several times over the years. It currently resides on the southwest corner of the Pacific University campus. According to the university webpage, it is one of the oldest educational buildings west of the Mississippi River that is still in use today.
