Records relating
to one of the premier arboreta in the United States, located in
Seattle.
Since its inception, the purpose of the University of Washington
Arboretum has been to form a collection of trees and plants from around the
world as a source for research and public enjoyment. Located south of the
school's Seattle campus, the Arboretum is one of the premier arboreta in the
United States.
In the 1890s, after the University of Washington campus moved to its
present site, some faculty and administrators envisioned building an arboretum
as part of the campus. Their efforts resulted in a collection of trees and
plants near where Drumheller Fountain is now located. However, the new campus
design, implemented prior to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition of 1909,
destroyed the rudimentary collection.
The plan for the present Arboretum began developing in the early
1920s. The University proposed that Seattle give the school full use of
Washington Park and its infrastructure for an arboretum. In 1924, Seattle's
Board of Park Commissioners accepted the proposal. However, funding remained
poor and little development was accomplished over the next decade.
Substantial development of the Arboretum did not begin until the
public relief programs of the Great Depression provided the necessary
resources. From 1935 to 1941, the Federal Works Progress Administration (WPA)
played a major role in the Arboretum's development by providing labor and other
resources. The Washington Emergency Relief Agency also played a similar but
lesser role during the 1930s.
In addition to public relief agencies, private organizations in the
mid-1930s began to provide support. In 1935, the Arboretum Foundation was
created to raise an endowment for the maintenance and promotion of the park.
Also in 1935, the Seattle Garden Club hired the firm of the Olmsted Bros., of
Brookline, Massachusetts, to prepare a master plan. The firm intended their
plan to be preliminary, but since its implementation in 1936, this design has
endured despite criticism that it uses an outdated system of grouping plants by
taxonomy.
With the official establishment of the Arboretum in 1934, the
University named Hugo Winkenwerder, Dean of the College of Forestry, as Acting
Director of the Arboretum. However, Winkenwerder still maintained his full
workload at the University and in 1938 recommended that a full-time Director be
hired. John Hanley became the first full-time Director in 1938 until he
resigned in 1948 and was replaced by Brian Mulligan. Mulligan retired in 1972
as the last Director. The position then became the Curator of Plant
Collections, which Joseph Witt filled in 1973.
The end of Depression relief programs and the beginning of World War
II meant an end to much of the Arboretum's public support, but in 1945
Washington's state legislature began funding the Arboretum directly. Increased
state funding brought administrative changes for the Arboretum, as the
University expanded its management power. Since 1935 the University of
Washington Arboretum Committee (later called the UW Arboretum Board) had served
mainly to provide technical advice. Heeding complaints from members of the
campus community who argued that the University should have more control over
state funds that went into the park, UW President Lee Paul Sieg made attempts
to give the University more control over the Arboretum's operations and
diminished the management role of the Foundation. In 1949, the Arboretums
budget came under the University's College of Forestry, continuing the trend
toward more University management of the park.
While the Arboretum had managed to acquire land through various deals
during the 1930s and 40s, neighboring development reduced some of its space. In
1945, the Seattle Historical Museum (now the Museum of History and Industry)
took some land in the northern part of the park. In the early 1950s, the
Arboretum lost another 51 acres because of the construction of a second bridge
across Lake Washington. Both of these issues incited protest from Arboretum
supporters.
In the 1960s, management of the Arboretum underwent more changes. UW
President Charles Odegaard discharged the University Arboretum Advisory
Committee and in its place established three new committees: the University
Committee on the Arboretum, the City-University Liaison Committee, and the
Advisory Committee on Programs for the University of Washington Arboretum. The
Arboretum collection itself also changed during this decade, when the privately
funded Japanese Garden was completed in 1960. Also in the 1960s, factional
conflicts between private Arboretum supporters created a schism. In 1966 an
angry faction of the Arboretum Foundation split off from the group and formed
the Friends of the Arboretum, which later became the Northwest Horticulture
Society (NHS). The NHS helped establish the UW Center for Urban Horticulture
(CUH), a teaching and research center built on the campus shore of Union Bay in
1980.
The most recent administrative change came in the 1980s when the
University's Center for Urban Horticulture (CUH) began administering the
Arboretum.
The records contain correspondence and numerous subject files and
project files on most of the important developments in the Arboretum by the
major parties involved including the development of the CUH Union Bay project.
A copy of the original park agreement between the city and the University can
be found in box 1, folder 5.
The records also includes plant and seed exchange notes, course and
curriculum files and copies of Arboretum documents from other repositories
collected by CUH student Scot Medbury. Medbury's collection includes copies of
the Olmsted Bros. plan for the Arboretum (from the Library of Congress and the
National Park Service's Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site in
Brookline, MA); there are also copies of materials from the Washington State
Archives relating to the Arboretum's development in the 1930s, including
records from the state Parks Commission and the Washington Emergency Relief
Agency.
Major correspondents include: James S. Bethel, Dale W. Cole, Stanley
P. Gessel, Gordon D. Marckworth, Brian Mulligan, O.B. Thorgrimson, Hugo
Winkenwerder, Joseph A. Witt, Seattle Parks Department, the Olmsted Bros., and
the Seattle Garden Club.
