7 e Jtuio 0 tUe GcMe fe. In 1891 Dr. N. G. Blalock donated forty acres of land, the present site of Walla Walla College, to the North Pacific Union Conference. Building was made possible the same year through donations and pledges of patrons and a donation of $1500 from the Baker-Boyer Bank and the Farmers Savings Bank of Walla Walla. In May of 1892 con- struction began on the Administration Building. The work progressed rapidly, but it was evident that the building would not be completed before the end of the year. Never- theless a date was set for school to open that autumn. December 7 was the date, and all efforts were bent toward the opening of school at that time. In an unfinished building, Walla Walla College had its beginning. The grounds were very dusty, and there were only a few narrow board walks. All activities except those of the farm were carried on in the Administration Building. An artesian well was discovered in 1906. Prior to this the water was supplied from a spring about two miles from the school, and therefore it was used sparingly. But after the discovery of the well, the campus took on a different aspect. Grass and trees were added, and the ankle-deep dust was forgotten. The next big change came when the Administration Building was renovated in 1919. The fourth floor was removed and sixty feet were added to the length of the building. The Normal School was constructed during this same year. In 1924 the Science Hall was erected. The following year the College Store Building, which had stood on the southeast corner of the campus, was moved across the street to be occupied since that time by the College Bakery. Earlier in the year the merchandise of the store had been moved to the present location of the College Store. Two years later, in the summer of 1927, a new music conservatory was built and dedicated as the Johnson Memorial Conservatory of Music. What is now called Union Hall, which had stood in its place, was moved to a site back of the Church. In 1931 the Walla Walla Sanitarium was moved from the college campus into a new modern building in the city of Walla Walla. The space thus vacated provided more commodious rooms for the young women, who previously had lived in South Hall. The building was renamed Preston House in honor of Rachel Preston. Since then the young men have occupied both North Hall and South Hall. A new fireproof laundry was erected in 1932. This structure, made of brick to match the other buildings, is an added improvement to the campus. Because of a fire in Preston House in 1933, which partially destroyed the building, a new dormitory for women was constructed in 1934. This is the latest and finest campus improvement and is said to be one of the best buildings of its kind in the denomination. Throughout all its history Walla Walla College has grown with a firm maintenance of its high standards of Christian education. It has endeavored to live up to its motto. The School that Educati ' s for Life, and to carry out its aim, the three-fold Jeielupment of the hinh. mind. m:d spirit. T « ncvirri ir «n 26
