Dedication Day Approaches
ON SEPTEMBER 24, Seattle Pacific University honors
its past and celebrates its future with “Dedication Day” events.
At 11:45 a.m., the University will dedicate its historic circular
driveway on lower campus, renaming it Tiffany Loop after Orrin Tiffany,
second president of Seattle Pacific, and his wife, Grace English
Tiffany, beloved dean of women. Grace Tiffany served as housemother
in the
early 1900s in the “Ladies’ Dormitory,” later named Tiffany Hall and demolished
in 2001, following earthquake damage, to make way for the construction of a new
science facility.
After an old-fashioned picnic in Tiffany Loop, Seattle Pacific’s
Science Building will be officially dedicated at 1:00 p.m., followed by tours
of the facility’s high-tech labs and classrooms. Alumni and friends are
welcome to
participate in the day’s events. For more information,
call 206/281-2100.

From the President
Americans today are searching for a new tone for their lives. “We

of entitlement that emerges out of exuberant times,” says President
Philip Eaton.
