Enoch A. Bryan was born in Bloomington, Indiana, on May 10, 1855. He received an A.B.
degree from Indiana University in 1878 and an A.M. Degree from that university in
1885. He also received an A.M. degree from Harvard University in 1893. He later
received Honorary Doctor of Law degrees from Indiana University (1920), Michigan
State University (1907), and Washington State University (1929). Bryan was President
of Vincennes University from 1882-1893, after serving as the Superintendent of
Public Schools in Grayville, Illinois. He came to the State College of Washington
(initially called the Agricultural College, Experiment Station, and School of
Science of the State of Washington, and now known as Washington State University) in
1893 and served as its president until 1916, when he became the Commissioner of
Education for the State of Idaho, from 1917 to 1923. He had failed in 1916 to attain
the nomination for a seat in the United States Senate.
Dr. Bryan returned to the State College of Washington in 1923 and was a professor of
economic history until 1939, when he became a professor emeritus. During his
lifetime he wrote three books: "The Mark in Europe and America", "The History of the
State College of Washington", and "Orient Meets Occident or The Advent of the
Railways into the Pacific Northwest". Dr. Bryan died in Pullman, Washington, on
November 6, 1941.
This collection includes a mixture of Bryan family photographs and scenes of the
State College of Washington, previously called the Agricultural College, Experiment
Station, and School of Science of the State of Washington, and now known as
Washington State University.

Records from the Enoch A. Bryan administration were received from the Washington
State University Office of the President circa 1958 (WSU 158). The photographs were
separated from those records, and additional Office of the President and Bryan
family accessions (UA 86-26, MS 90-48, MS 90-49), into this collection in 1991. A
few additional photographs were added in 2019 (MS 2019.07).
This collection was initially processed by Carol Leictenberg in 1991. In June 2000, Nina Deitz and Trevor James Bond updated the collection and completed the guide.
