Fred Stanley Bennett attended the University of Washington after the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYPE) expanded the campus. Between 1911-1914 the University produced a plan for further extension of the UW campus and it grew rapidly during Bennett's time. Students assisted the growth of the University through Campus Day projects. Buildings such as the AYP Library and Meany Hall, photographed in this album, have since been destroyed and replaced.

Photographs and postcards documenting the University of Washington campus and student activities of Fred S. Bennett. Included are images of buildings such as Parrington Hall and Clarke Hall and buildings remaining from the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition; social events Junior Day and May Dances; President Theodore Roosevelt's visit; and student social groups such as "The Highbrows." Many of the photographs are by L.G. Linkletter.
