A reference to Whitman College was spotted in this 1955 photograph displayed at the Washington Odd Fellows Home near campus. Whitman College and Northwest Archives staff were able to identify the referenced “Keys” event as a welcoming program for students and the Whitman community. It was hosted at the Capitol Theatre in downtown Walla Walla and organized by a student group, local colleges and the Walla Walla Chamber of Commerce. The theater building was demolished in the early 1980s.
