Smith, Alvin

Tualatin Academy (now Pacific University) was a secondary school in Oregon. It was originally founded as a missionary school in 1841 by Harvey L. Clark, who joined with Tabitha Moffatt Brown, the "Mother of Oregon," in turning it into an orphans' school in 1848. In 1854 college classes were added and Pacific University was run concurrently with Tualatin Academy until the latter was closed in 1914.
