Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Herbert Thomas Condon served as a comptroller, registrar, Secretary to the Faculty, Secretary to the Board of Regents, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, and as Dean for the University of Washington from 1903 to his retirement in 1951. Herbert Condon graduated from the University of Oregon and proceeded to graduate study at the University of Michigan Law School where he graduated in 1894. Herbert T. Condon died on June 28, 1952 at age 82. He is buried at the Evergreen Washelli Memorial Park in Seattle, Washington. Contrary to popular belief, Condon Hall on the University of Washington campus was not named after Herbert T. Condon, but after John T. Condon, founder of the University of Washington Law School in 1899. John T. Condon died of a heart attack on January 5, 1926 at age 66. After his death, the University built the first Condon Hall in 1932 for the Law School and Law Library. Today, this building is known as Gowen Hall, serving as the building for the Asian Languages and Literature department and library. The most recent Condon Hall was built in 1974 also commemorating John T. Condon.
