Campus Day 1904

Students and faculty put aside their books for some heavy physical labor working on the campus grounds in 1904, the first Campus Day. Denny Hall is shown in the background of this picture.

Campus Day 1909

On this Campus Day in 1909 it looks like the ladies are bringing water to the hardworking men, who paused for this picture. This was the same year of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition for which many University buildings were erected. Few of them remain today, due to the temporary nature of their construction.

Campus Day 1929

According to the Seattle Post Intelligencer, the 1927 graduating class was the largest up to that time with 1,350 undergraduates and 100 students receiving master's degrees. 7,000 people observed that graduation ceremony. In 1931 the student body grew to 7,500 students, but the following year it swelled to 16,957! (McCaffrey, p. 2)
