WM 1916101934 F omfteentlt President Vast physical and educational advancement marked the administration of President Walter A. Jessup. He came to the University of Iowa in 1912 as director of the school of education, and he had the background of experience in public school supervision in Indiana. He had also been dean of the college of education at the University of Indiana. President Jessupls ad- ministration was the longest thus far in the his- tory of SUI, and during this time the University achieved its most marked growth. The enroll- ment was almost tripled and Iowa expanded along other lines. A notable feature of President Jessupls administration was the expansion of the campus and erection of buildings on the west side of Iowa River. These buildings were constructed from 1916 to 1932: the children's hospital, 1917, Westlawn, psychopathic hospital and the Quadrangle, 19195 the armory, 1920g fine arts studio and pre-school, 19225 chemistry building, plumbing shop and women's gym annex, 1923, DeHaan building, Kellogg dormitory and Ifniversity Hall, 192-lg the fieldhouse, medical labo- ratory, and Iowa Memorial llnion, 19273 the power plant, 1928, general hospital, 1929, stores and supplies and the water filter plant, 1930, the locker house of Finkbine field, 1931, and the central garage and mechanical engineering lab, 1932. The remarkable development of the med- ical college and the state hospitals was also a noted achievement of President Jessup's adminis- tration. He literally made the University what it is today, and was one of the best-loved and admired of Iowa's Presidents by the students, who were quick to acclaim their President as a great leader.
