Washington photograph albumcirca 1915-1924.21 cubic feet (1 box)41 photographic prints (1 album) ; 7 1/2 x 9 1/2Collection materials are in
English.Photographs of
the University of Washington and surrounding area, circa 1915-1924Between 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.
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.

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.
