Jh the beginniHg, . . . . there was University HalL now familiarly known as Old Main. The nickname came naturally enough, for in the early years of UW history, this was the main indeed the only building. It ' s interesting to speculate as to just what the founders might have envisioned in the way of changes between 1887 and 1956. They were men of foresight, as witness the early tree-planting program, to cite just one aspect. On this and the succeeding three pages, you ' ll be able to see for yourself the University of Wyoming in its formative years, through photographs made available to the WYO through the courtesy of the Archives department. These photos, in contrast with those modern ones which are the heart of this book, tell graphically the story of a university on the march.
