Colleges and Schools gikqggwg FOUNDING THE UNIVERSITY On the recommendation of Governor lsaac lngalls Stevens in 1854 the first legislature of Washington Territory appropriated two townships for a University. Six months later, January 29, l855, it was enacted that two state educational institutions be built on these tracts, one on Boistfort Plains, in western Lewis County, the other at Seattle. After several fruitless attempts to establish these colleges the two were combined, and in l86l the corner stone for the first territorial University was laid at Seattle. College opened in the winter of 1862. Not until 1875 did the first University catalogue appear. From it one learns that the institution contained primary, intermediate and preparatory schools, in addition to a college having a classical course of four years, a scientific course of three years, a musical department, and a military school. Rev. George F. Vlfhitworth was first president. The faculty was limited to six members. COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS The College of Liberal Arts is the oldest and largest department in the University. It was founded in l862, first as a number of separate departments. Later it became known as the College of Literature, Arts and Sciences. and finally, in l9Ol, assumed its present name. ln 1908-9 there were S17 students enrolled in this college. Arthur Ragan Priest is dean. There are now sixty-eight faculty members, and ten undergraduate assistants. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Dean A. l-I. Fuller is head of the College of Engineering. Forty members comprise the faculty. The enrollment for 1908-9 was 287. This department was organized in l896, and embraces civil, chemical, mechanical and electrical courses. Owing to the very favorable location of the University, engineering students are enabled to supplement their regular college work with practical inspection and testing of the various engineering interests in and about Seattle.
