Historical Background
Between 1916 and 1924 the University of Washington was still recovering from the effects of World War I. As male students returned to school from the battlefields, the University found its student population stretched to the breaking point. At the same time, the University suffered from a severe lack of funds. Teacher salaries were prohibitively low and President Suzzallo found himself battling with the state government for the money to build badly needed extensions to the University.
Content Description
The collection is comprised of one album containing 41 photographs. There are several aerial and landscape photographs of the University of Washington campus, Lake Washington, and surrounding area. The album also includes photographs of Campus Day, sporting events, the football team, the crew team, and a number of buildings left over from the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. Many of the photographs were taken by L.G. Linkletter and Webster & Stevens.

Description: Crowd of people at an event during Campus DayCowan Photos, Seattle (photographer)
Written on photo: "A Few Distinguished Guests, Campus Day"
Campus Day began in April 1904 under the direction of Edmond Meany. Originally, Campus Day was used as a work day in which both students and faculty participated in the physical work that needed to be done around campus. Over the years, the practical work aspect of the day diminished. Lunch, special guests and sporting events were all part of Campus Day in 1922.
