Told by the Pioneers school. On .May 6, 1903, the new trustees incorporated under the name of "The University of Puget Sound," and located the school on the present Jason Lee school grounds in Tacoma. Re,-. Edward .M. Randall, pastor of the First M. E. church of Seattle, was chosen president. In a spirited campaign $20,000 was raised in June and July of 1903 for the erection of a new building, which by September 30 was ready for the reception of students. In 1904 President Randall resigned to become the editor of the Epworth Herald, published at Chicago. He was followed in the presidency by the Rev. Joseph E. Williams, who, as a trustee, had shown great interest in the school. In 1907 President Williams was succeeded by Prof. L. L. Benlow, County School Superintendent of Pierce county. His presidency of two years was made notable by his unusual energy and by the erection of a chapel and commercial building, a new boys' dormitory, the enlargement of the ladies' dormitory and the completion of the fine gymnasium, the latter built by student labor. . From 1909 to 1913 the University of Puget Sound was under the presidency of Prof. Julius C. Zeller of the Illinois Wesleyan University. Pres. Zeller reorganized the course of study, established a department of home economics, a law department, and kept the university on a high intellectual and spiritual plane. \Vith one exception, up to 1913, practically every change in the presidency was due to the financial situation. This was the reason for Dr. Zeller's resignation in 1913. The trustees now called to the university presidency the Re,". Edward H. Todd, vice-president of Willamette University. Dr. Todd's connection with the Tacoma institution began in 1898 when he became a member of the board of trustees. Then, from 1905 to 1909 he was the school's corresponding and financial secretary. During this period the affairs of the school showed great improvement. President Todd took charge of the University of Puget Sound in October, 1913, and his coming marked an era in the school's history. In 1914 he had the name changed to "The College of Puget Sound", a name it will probably always retain. The next year he organized the campaign to raise $200,000 to meet the offer of a donation to the endowment fund by Hon. J. J. Hill, the Empire Builder. The success of this campaign gave the school its first endowment. The outbreak of the great war brought many problems to Pres. 225
Told by the P-ioneers Todd and to the college. One of these was the training of 100 young men for the students army training corps. In this connection there came the outbreak of the influenza. One-third of the S. A. T. C. boys were stricken, but all were saved, owning to the care they received. "\Vith the close of the war, President Todd and the board of trustees again took up the financial problem. In 1920 a campaign was conducted in Tacoma and Pierce county for a half million dollars for a college campus and for a building fund. This resulting in complete success, in 1921 an appeal was made to the people of the entire state for a half-million to be added to the endowment fund. This also resulted in victory. Then in 1922 a new campaign was put on to raise a quarter of a million dollars to match the quarter of a million offered by the general education board (Rockefeller Foundation). This campaign also was crowned with success. These victories placed the College of Puget Sound among the growing institu.tions of the Pacific Northwest and it began to receive nation-wide attention. In 1923 on the new campus there began to arise the fine new building known as Jones Hall. In September, 1924, the college was opened on the new campus at Fifteenth and Warner streets. An additional gift came in 1931 when the gift of $150,000 to Tacoma by Leonard Howarth, a Tacoma lumberman, was awarded to the College of Puget Sound. With this fund was completed the Hall of Science. From its founding in 1888 to 1915 the college depended upon student fees and upon small donations of faithful friends. It now has a million and a quarter of well-invested funds and buildings and grounds valued at over half a million dollars. In 1891 the school in the liberal arts department had only 2 college students. In 1907 when the writer of these pages began teaching in the institution, there were only 40 students of college rank. Today, in 1938, there are nearly 600 students in the college of liberal arts. This year, under the guiding hand of Pres. Todd and the Board of trustees, the friends of the college are observing the semi-centennial of its founding. The achievements of this half century of progress augur well for the college, as it enters its second half century. By 1988 the friends of the school fondly hope and have faith to believe that it 'will enjoy steady growth and progress, that the number of students will double and triple, that new buildings will continue to 226
