-sl-if? ARTHUR G. SELLEN THE nrst Kansas college received its charter under the name f'Lincoln Collegen in February of 1856. Its organization was due largely to the efforts of H. D. Rice, Colonel john Ritchie, and Harrison Hannahs, under the auspices of the Congregational church. It was for atime moved to Lawrence, but was returned to Topeka when the present site was obtained. As a result of a gift of Deacon Ichabod Wfashburn of VVorcester, Mass., the name of the college was changed to Wfashburn. Rice Hall, Old Sciencef' was built by subscription, on College Hill, in 1874. Then came Hartford Cottage and Boswell, first as a library. Holbrook Hall was built in 1879, as a girls, dormitory. VVith the recent construction of Benton Hall, Holbrook was remodeled for the VVashburn Law School. From 1902 until it was discontinued in 1913 the VVashburn Medical school had its headquarters in Rice Hall. ln 1890 McVicar chapel was erected and the beautiful evergreen and shade trees for which VVashburn campus is famous, were planted. The dramatic organization presented funds with which the boulder wall surrounding the campus, was started. Tn the following order the other campus buildings were erected: Crane Qbservatory, the YVhite House, heating plant, and engineering shops in 1903, Carnegie Library, in 1905, Thomas Gymnasium, in 19083 Benton Hall and Mfilvane Art Museum, in 19233 and in 1928 the liield House and Moore Bowl.
