Builds Around ld Main of 1891 The University Bill, locating a state university in Tucson, was passed in 1885. C. C. Stevens, jacob Samuel Mansfeld and Seliin M. Franklin were instrumental in passing the bill, although many Tucsonans wanted the state capital or the insane asylum located here instead. Three gamblers, two of whom were saloon keepers, were persuaded to give forty acres of land for the University site. Ground was broken that year for Old Main. Two years later the building stood uncompleted, no money was available. Federal funds were received in 1890, and the construction was finished. A faculty of six and a student body of thirty-two comprised the University when it opened on October- 1, 1891. Only foiu' of the thirty-two students were actually in the college department, the remaining twenty-eight were enrolled in the preparatoiy department. Growth was slow until 1910. The 'twenties saw much expansion in all phases of the University. Four new major buildings were added during that decade, and ten buildings were constructed during the 1980,s. After 1940, growth was phenomenal, and since that time enrollment and growth has been on a steady upward climb. TREES and flowers in abundance add shade, color and beauty to the campus all year -round, as in this walk to the Auditorium.
