l l FQREWORD ' tp T IS with pleasure that the Juniors sub- mit this l9l0 Tyee to the students and patrons of the University of Washington. Ten volumes of the Annual have been issued successively to date. Each has sincerely pur- ported to present authentically and thoroughly the history of the college year just preceding its publicationg and no less earnestly have the editors of this book endeavored to make it a close record of the year l908-9. The greatest possible care has been taken in the selection of engravings and in the pre- sentation of subject matter. Truly, some al- terations have been made in the arrangement and division of departments, but the book is purposely modelled after the best in previous Tyees, with an aim toward elevating its gen- eral tone. D Our college days will perhaps always be remembered as our brightest and happiest, in spite of their occasional reverses, and if this volume will kindle those pleasant memories, recalling vividly to mind the events which transpired during that time, then it will have fulfilled its mission.

History of the University of Washington HE. University ol Wasliington has been a part of the governmental equipment from the beginning ol this Commonwealth's separate existence. When the Terri- tory was hrst organized in IS53 there were less than four thousand people in the domain. and yet those few pioneers had an abundance of hope and foresight. In preparing the foundations for the future State they were swift to recognize the value of education. At the hrst session of the Territorial Legislature provision was made for a complete system of common schools, and at the same time an effort was made to secure the cap-sheaf of that system in a Territorial University. Governor Issac l. Stevens, in his hrst gubernatorial message, recommended a memorial to Congress requesting a grant of land to aid such an institution. This was done, and Congress acted promptly by granting two townships of public lands for the purpose. Thus far the progress was rapid enough to satisfy the most sanguine of the settlers, but at that point there was encountered an obstacle such as has proved troublesome to nearly every one of the new States of the West: a contest over the location of such a desirable institution. The second session of the legislature, in l855, enacted a law creating two Universities, one to be located at Seattle and another at. Boisfort Plains in Lewis County. Each institution was to have one-half of the granted lands. The need of the Universities was not as great as the ambition of the pioneers. The several boards of County Commissioners neglected to select the lands. No one proposed to abandon the idea of a University, but it was allowed to drift with other plans for a greater future. ln l858 the Legislature combined the two Universities and chose as location Cowlitz Prairie in Lewis County. To counteract this move, some of the dissatisfied settlers incorporated the Puget Sound University, as an independent institution. 11
