Brief Historical Sketch Tin Washington State Normal School at KUenaburg was established by an act of the first legislature of the Stale of Washington in 1899. It opened Its first regulrr work on September 7, 1891 and moved into its own permanent plant in ism. From the beginning It ha» accepted as Ita major field of effort, the problem of training teachers for the elementary schools of the state and this aim has been the determining factor In Ita policy for the past thirty-two years. Ita first grad¬ uating class had eleven members, Its last graduating class, the clasa or 1924. had 225. Ten years ago this Institution moved up to a college entrance basis for ad ' mission so that the whole of the work of this Institution since 1917 has been of full collegiate grade. The Ellensbnrg State Normal School has had unusually rapid growth in the Inst eight or ten years, Ten years ago there were SI graduates from the two-year course. In the year ending June. 1924. there were 225. The rate of growth over that period was 179. There was u total enrollment In the school fcountlng no student twice) of 1903 for the session 1922-23 and 1089 for the session 1923-24. The average carrying load throughout the year wus 435 and th« student-clock- hour cost was 28 rents. This student clock hour cost Is exceptionally low as coni pared with costs in stales doing similar or equal standard of work. Tke students of this school come from 30 of the 39 counties of the stale. Eighty-seven percent of the enrollment In the school comes from outside of Kitti¬ tas County ns compared with 75 percent of the Bellingham enrollment outside of Whatcom County and 40 percent of the Cheney enrollment outside of Spokane County. Students for the most part come from counties lying west of the Colum¬ bia K ' ver. with the exception of Chelan. Grant and Okanogan Counties and south of Seattle throughout Southwest Washington. CAMPUS AND BUILDINGS Within the past few years a permanent Campus plan has been In process of gradual development and at the present lime these plans extend well into the fu¬ ture, providing for grounds and buildings that will be acquired in the next 19 years. Tile present Campus plans so far as grounds are concerned are to include all of the city block lying between Eighth and Tenth Streets and extending from D Street, our present west boundary line, three blocks eastward to Chestnut Street This will give eventually between eight and one-half and nine city blocks and will provide ample grounds for an Athletic Field upon which will be erected a permanent grand stnnd. a large space for ten or twelve tennis courts, about one- fourth of a block devoted to practice horse-back riding where Instruction 1 given before -‘Indents take the horses on short tripe, play spaee large enough to ac¬ commodate all student sports for women and another play space for the accommo¬ dations of training school games and practice classes. The new buildings under contemplation are a Library building to be erected this year west of the Administration Building; an Auditorium which will be sim¬ ilar in site and architecture to the library anil will occupy n site on the eust side f the Administration building; a Gymnasium, the site of which Is to be north of the present Manual Training Building between Ninth and Tenth Streets; a Men s Dormitory Building in the block east of the present Women ' s Dormitory building. The Gymnasium Building will provide working spare for all Physical Educa¬ tion Instruction, a good-sited swimming pool and appropriately furnished rooms for all of the work in Health Education. All new buildings will be of Colonial design and fire proof. The buildlngB In general will agree in style of architecture with the Library Building, a sketch of wnieb Is shown on the following page.
