October 1st, 1912. To His Excellency, Hon. Marion E. Hay, Governor: In the year 1893, the Legislature of Washington created a special Commission to select a site for a state normal school, to be located somewhere in Whatcom County. After a careful consideration of three different sites, the location between the cities of New Whatcom and Fairhaven was chosen. The first appropriation of $40,000.00. for the building was made in 1895. In 1897 the appropriation for maintenance and equipment was vetoed by the Governor of the state. The first appropriation for maintenance was granted in 1899, and the institution was formally opened for work on September 6th of that year, with an enrollment of about one hundred students. The institution has, therefore, completed thirteen years of active service, and during this time nearly four thousand different students have enrolled for regular class instruction. During the first year a faculty of nine teachers was employed to carry forward the work. This number has been increased from time to time until at present the faculty numbers thirty-one instructors. BUILDINGS. The present buildings of the Bellingham State Normal School include the main building, the trading school, the science annex, the gymnasium, the manual training shop and Edens Hall. The first four buildings named are connected by closed hallways and form practically one large structure, with a solid frontage of 390 feet. Main Building. The main building is a large, massive brick and stone structure and contains a total of thirty-eight rooms, including the offices, several halls and ten large recitation rooms. Training School Annex. This annex contains a total of WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1912 Volume 04 - Page 123 1912-10-01 thirty rooms. Two entire floors are devoted to the work of the training department. Science Annex. This annex provides three complete suites of rooms, one for the biological department, one for the physical science department, and one for the manual training department. Gymnasium. The gymnasium is a plain, wooden structure, 36 x 60 feet in size, and cost less than two thousand dollars when erected in 1901. It is provided with galleries and with baths and dressing rooms, but the latter are located in the basement of the main building. Edens Hall is a home for young ladies, and contains twenty-eight sleeping rooms, four bath rooms, a parlor, reception hall, trunk room, laundry, store rooms, servants' rooms, kitchen and a large dining room, searing one hundred and twenty people. The building is a wooden structure, and has cost the state, exclusive of furnishings, about $14,000.00. The annual income from the rental of rooms is about $1,650.00. CAMPUS. The original campus, as donated to the state, contained ten acres of land, located on the northwesterly slope of Sehome Hill, near the geographical center of the present city of Bellingham. The contour of the ground is such that nearly one half of this tract is included in a rugged hill side and will never be practicable for a building site of playground. The Board of Trustees have already found it necessary to expend about $11,000.00 to render the available portion of this tract suitable for the erection of buildings and the development of attractive lawns around them. In May, 1909, the Trustees purchased, for $3,000.00, two acres of additional land adjoining the campus, to be used as a recreation field. It has been necessary to clear this land and fill the greater part of it to make it available for the work of the institution. This additional tract, when fully developed, will provide sufficient room for playground and athletic purposes, but it will be necessary to purchase considerable additional land before the institution will be able to carry on any practical demon- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1912 Volume 04 - Page 124 1912-10-01 stration work in agriculture and horticulture. It is of interest to note here that a valuation of $40,000.00 was recently placed upon the grounds owned by the institution, by a representative of the State Bureau of Inspection and Supervision of Public Offices. LAND FOR SCHOOL GARDEN. There is still available, near the campus, a tract of unplatted land containing about four acres, which may be purchased for about $1,500.00 per acre. While it will require an expenditure of some $4,000.00 to prepare this land for use, the trustees recommend its purchase at this time, in order that the institution may proceed to develop the practical side of the work now offered in the various lines of agriculture. RURAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT. While it is true that the larger part of the population of Western Washington live in our villages and cities, there is a rapidly growing demand for teachers who have had special training for teaching in our rural schools. For the past four years this institution has offered training in methods for teachers in rural schools, but the lack of suitable ground has made it impossible to develop any practical work in agriculture and horticulture in the way of establishing and maintaining a school garden for demonstration purposes. The purchase of additional land is, therefore, a necessity if the institution is to meet in a practical way the demand for teachers who have received special training in agriculture and horticulture for rural school work. MANUAL TRAINING SHOP. In July, 1912, a special instructor in manual training for men was employed and plans made for the erection of a special building on the campus for this work. When finally completed, this building will provide two class rooms, two laboratories, an office and a large store room for the work of the department. Although the building is only partially completed, the department has been moved from the science annex into its new quarters, and the work organized for the year. The erection of this building WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1912 Volume 04 - Page 125 1912-10-01 removes the danger of fire from the main buildings and gives opportunity for expansion along several important lines. It is estimated that it will require at least $3,000.00 to complete the structure and purchase the additional equipment necessary for the work. ADDITION TO TRAINING SCHOOL BUILDING. The growth in the various classes in the Normal School proper during the past three years is found entirely in the advanced courses of study. This means that there has been a gradual increase in the enrollment in the junior and senior classes and a similar decrease in the lower classes of the institution. At this writing, (October, 1912) the total enrollment for the present year in the regular Normal School is 418. Of these, more than three hundred are high school graduates, or the equivalent, leaving less than one hundred in attendance who may be called elementary students, and even a good number of these are experienced teachers who have not enjoyed the advantages of a high school training. The regulations of the State Board of Education require that all students in the advanced courses must secure a definite amount of actual experience in practice teaching and observation before receiving a certificate or diploma, and the constant growth in the enrollment in the junior and senior years means that this institution must provide each year an increasing number of rooms for this work if the school is to maintain its present high standard in practice teaching. The most pressing need, thereforem at this time is for more adequate equipment for the expansion of this work. This may be accomplished by the erection of a substantial addition to the present training school annex, or by the construction of an entirely new training school building.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1912 Volume 04 - Page 129 1912-10-01 EXAMINATION BY BUREAU OF INSPECTION. A representative of the State Bureau of Inspection and Supervision of Public Offices has very recently completed a thorough examination of the financial records of the school, and made a complete inventory of all property and placed a physical valuation upon the same. The result of this examination may be found in the biennial report of this Bureau and will give full information along the lines of this history, growth, management and achievements of the institution. One item of this report may be quoted here. The estimate of this Bureau places the value of the property, including equipment, at $301,551.00. This means that the State of Washington has really invested about $450,000.00 in the general maintenance of the institution during the past thirteen and one half years. Special attention is also called to the fact that the state, since the foundation of the school seventeen years ago, has invested only three-quarters of a million of dollars in the entire plant. With this sum the trustees in charge during these years have provided for the erection of four buildings; for the purchase of additional land, and furniture and apparatus, and for the payment of salaries and current expenses for nearly fourteen years. The following figures indicate some of the results that the state has received for the money invested in the institution: SUMMARY OF ATTENDANCE. 1899-1900 - (total enrollment Normal School) 264, (Training School) 80, (Total enrollment) 344. 1900-1901 - (Normal) 266, (Training) 117, (total) 383. 1901-1902 - (Normal) 335, (Training) 154, (total) 489. 1902-1903 - (Normal) 387, (Training) 194, (total) 581. 1903-1904 - (Normal) 331, (Training) 208, (total) 539. 1904-1905 - (Normal) 320, (Training) 189, (total) 509. 1905-1906 - (Normal) 334, (Training) 201, (total) 535. 1906-1907 - (Normal) 402, (Training) 217, (total) 619. 1907-1908 - (Normal) 431, (Training) 252, (total) 683. 1908-1909 - (Normal) 504, (Training) 280, (total) 788. 1909-1910 - (Normal) 582, (Training) 269, (total) 851. 1910-1911 - (Normal) 617, (Training) 262, (total) 879. 1911-1912 - (Normal) 675, (Training) 317, (total) 992.

Total Secondary Certificates - 615. Total Five-year Diplomas - 627. Total Life Diplomas - 356. Total Number Certificates and Diplomas - 1,950. In conclusion, the trustees of this school beg to express their appreciation of the support that has been accorded the institution during the past, both by patrons and those in legislature authority, and extend to the people of the state generally a cordial invitation to visit the institution, inspect the daily work of faculty and students and examine carefully the buildings and equipment that have been provided with the appropriations made for the purpose.

PROPOSED LAND PURCHASE: The proposed purchase of certain lands, options for which are now held on behalf of the Normal school by certain citizens of Bellingham, was discussed, also a plan in connection with a request to the Bellingham City Council to vacate that part of Cedar Street adjacent to the school campus and lying between Indian and 21st Streets. Mr. J. W. Kindall, acting in behalf of the citizens above referred to was present, and it was agreed that he should negotiate with the city council for the street vacation and for the dedication of a new street connecting Indian and 21st. Also with certain property owners, whose lands it is desired to purchase. ACTION OF STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION: The President called attention to the action of the State Board of Education at its recent meeting in Olympia, and the resolutions which it had adopted governing Normal School courses of study. It was pointed out that these resolutions were not in conformity with the recent act of legislature governing the case, in as much as the term "elementary schools" had been substituted for the term "common schools", as contemplated by the act referred to the effect of which would be to restrict the scope of normal school work. It was the decision of the Board that it would be impossible for this school to recognize these resolutions as binding insofar as they are in conflict with the law. The President presented the following draft of an amendment to the resolution adopted at Olympia, which amendment he proposed to offer for adoption at the adjourned meeting of the State Board at Spokane, April 7. (See page 212) BOARD OF HIGHER CURRICULA: The President made reference to the Board of Higher Curricula created by recent act of the Legislature. This school being entitled to a representative on the Board named, it was proposed and decided that Trustee Smith of this school board, be selected to represent the school on such Board of Higher Curricula. STUDENT TEACHING: President Nash submitted a plan of cooperation between the Normal and the Bellingham City schools in the matter of affording facilities for practice teaching for Normal students in the city schools. The plan was approved by the Board, and it was decided to submit the same to the Bellingham city school board. The plan is as follows: WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1917 Volume 05 - Page 210 1917-04-02 PLAN OF COOPERATION FOR STUDENT TEACHING The Normal School proposes to change the present plan of a twelve-grade training school with four hundred pupils to a nine-grade school with three hundred sixty pupils, the City to assign an average of forty pupils per grade to this nine-grade school. The Normal School will develop a model training department and train at the institution all student teachers possible, the City Schools of Bellingham to be available for student teaching only when Normal School facilities are exhausted. The City School Board is required by the Normal School Board to permit the senior students of the Normal School to assist in the City Schools, such students to be under the close personal supervision of Normal critics and room teachers, not more than eighty to assist during any quarter and not more than twenty to be assigned to a single Normal supervisor. All assignments to teach in the City Schools are to be approved by the City Superintendent and student teachers are to be changed whenever the welfare of the pupils may require. Substitute teachers of the City are to be furnished free by the Normal School, as required by the City School authorities. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1917 Volume 05 - Page 211 1917-04-02 LIGHTS FOR REAR OF BUILDING: Attention was called by Trustee Olsen to the need of all-night lights in the rear of the Normal building. The Board authorized Mr. Olsen to provide such lights as he deemed necessary. ELECTRIC LIGHT CONTRACT: The Puget Sound Traction, Light and Power Company presented a contract which they offered to enter into with the Trustees of this school to supply the school with electricity for a period of five years at a rate of five cents per K. W. hour, conditioned on a consumption valued at not less that $900.00 per annum. The Board held that it had no power to enter into a contract covering a period beyond the current biennium. It accepted the contract on condition that the term be shortened to two years. The Board expressed the intention of continuing the contract. THE REPORT OF DEAN OF WOMEN: The report of the Dean of Women for the first quarter of second semester was presented, read and placed on file. STUDENTS IN THE MILITIA: The fact that a number of students of the Normal school are enlisted in the Militia being brought to the attention of the Board, also the likelihood of their being called for service, led the Board to direct that in the event of such students leaving school for the reason stated, no deduction shall be made from the credits which otherwise would have been earned by them, by reason of such absence. RE-ELECTION OF TEACHERS DISCUSSED: The President called attention to the approach of the time for election of teachers for the next school year. He outlined the plan which he intends to follow in recommending teachers for re-election. He referred to circumstances bearing upon the case of several teachers, which were particularly discussed. The President's attitude was approved by the Board. The Board then adjourned. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1917 Volume 05 - Page 212 1917-04-02 On motion, it was resolved that practice teaching be a prescribed part of every course leading to a diploma in the state normal schools, provided that the practice teaching in the two year elementary course, the three year advanced course and the one year special advanced course for college and university graduates shall not be less than 90 hours. On motion, it was resolved that the function of the three year advanced course be to provide additional and specialized training based upon the two year elementary course. It is understood that the first two years of the three year advanced course shall be identical with the regular two year elementary course. On motion, it was resolved that the three year advanced course of study in the state normal schools be devised to train specially qualified common school teachers in the following fields: 1. Grade Supervision. 2. Principalships. 3. Departmental positions. 4. Music, art, agriculture, household arts, industrial arts, commercial subjects, physical education, ?. On motion, it was resolved that the training of kindergarten teachers be confined to the Ellensburg State Normal School exclusively, that the training of special teachers in Agriculture be confined to the Cheney State Normal exclusively, and the training of teachers in commercial subjects be confined to the Bellingham State Normal School exclusively. On motion, it was resolved that the Board recognize the four types of the two year course - primary, intermediate, grammar grade and rural. On motion, it was resolved that the Board provide courses based upon a school year of four quarters of nine or twelve weeks each. On motion, it was resolved by the Board that the courses be based upon a total of 64 or 80 credits; that is, a total of eight or ten credits each quarter. On motion, it was resolved by the board that the t? year advanced course shall be based upon the following groupings: General Educational Theory - 20 credits. Special Methods (Theory, Observation and Practice). Specialized Electives - 20 credits. General electives - 20 credits. Practice work at least 10 of the above credits. On motion, it was resolved by the board that the ? year elementary course shall be based upon the two year elementary and shall correspond closely with the first year of such courses. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1917 Volume 05 - Page 213 1917-04-16 The Board of Trustees met in their offices in the Normal School at 5:00 P.M.

FUEL OIL PROPOSAL: The Standard Oil Company submitted a proposal to enter into a contract with this school for fuel oil for one year at the present price of $1.65 per barrel. The Board deferred action on the matter. ART DEPARTMENT ASSISTANTS: The President reported that additional instructors would be needed in the Art Department for the summer session. He recommended the employment of Miss Marguerite Moore at a compensation of $80.00 for the session, also of Ruby Peterson at $20.00 for the session. STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION: President Nash reported the action of the State Board of Education at its meeting in Spokane, April 7th. He stated that the objectionable resolutions previously adopted by the Board with reference to normal school courses of study were there modified in a way to make them more acceptable. LETTERS FROM DR. DEERWESTER: Letters were laid before the Board, which had been received from Dr. Frank Deerwester, and which were addressed to Members of the Board and to President Nash. These communications dealt with Dr. Deerwester's connection with this school also largely with his personal relations with the President. The Board after having considered the contents of these letters, directed the Secretary to write Dr. Deerwester to the effect that they did not contemplate re-electing him to a position in this school. PROPOSAL FROM EVERETT SUPERINTENDENT: A letter from C. R. Frazier, Superintendent of Everett City Schools, was presented which proposed a plan for the employment of student teachers of the training classes of this school in the Everett City Schools. The communication is as follows: (over) WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1917 Volume 05 - Page 214 1917-04-16 COPY Everett, Washington, April 11, 1917. Pres. Geo. W. Nash, Bellingham Normal School, Bellingham, Wash. Dear Mr. Nash:- Would you consider placing a group of about ten of your Senior girls, who had already had some practice in the model school, in charge of as many different rooms in our schools for a period of at least nine weeks at a time, they to be succeeded by another group making four groups for the year? Should you be willing to consider this, I will take the matter up first with our principal and then with our Board of Education, and it would be subject to our final approval later. But in case the plan is adopted it would be important that it should be carried through the year as we would thus employ fewer regular teachers and count on these girls having the actual experience of taking charge of the rooms and being responsible for them. But, of course, it would be necessary to provide intensive supervision, both in order that the pupils might not suffer from the inexperience or immaturity of the practice teachers, and second in order that the practice teachers might derive the greatest possible benefit from the experience. The reason I suggest a group of ten is that that would be enough to make it worth your while to place a regular supervisor on the ground here. In case such an arrangement could be made, my proposition would be that the girls who come here be paid by our Board about $25.00 per month which would approximate the cost of their board, and that each assignment be with my approval and subject to my vote in case she failed to carry the work successfully. I would also consider the proposition of our Board paying a part of the cost of a special supervisor if necessary, and that we have a portion of such supervisor's time in other supervisory work in the system. My plan would be to permit one group to follow another in the same room and then give that room to one of our regular teachers the following semester and assign the next group of cadets to another grade or another room. If such a plan is to be carried out it will be necessary for us to act soon as we are about to elect new teachers and the adoption of this plan would mean that we would probably not elect any new teachers until there were more than ten vacancies. Yours very truly, C.R. FRAZIER, Superintendent WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1917 Volume 05 - Page 215 1917-04-16 TRANSPORTATION OF REPRESENTATIVES TO W.E.A.: Upon the suggestion of the President, it was ordered by the Board that the teachers who represented this school at the meeting of the Washington Educational Association at Spokane in March last, namely, Mr. Bever, Mrs. Kuykendall and Miss Woodard, be reimbursed to the extent of their transportation expense, provided they can submit the necessary receipts within the last biennium.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1908 Volume 03 - Page 002 1908-10-13 Dr. Mathes reported that he had received a note from the State Printer, C.W. Gorham, asking for the payment of his bills, amounting to $690.77, these bills having been presenting to the board heretofore and ordered filed. He had replied that this school would appear before the next legislature with a deficiency in any event and the payment of the bills in question would increase such deficiency to the amount of the bills. It was therefore a question as to whether this school or the State Printer should appear with its deficiency increased by the additionof the bills in question. The matter of manure for the campus was referred to the chairman. The principal stated that O.M. Jenkins had bought the lot diagonally across from Edens hall and proposed to erect a two-story building, the lower floors of which he proposed to devote to stores and the upper to rooms for rent. He asked for the privilege of connecting with Edens hall sewer. No objection was expressed against such connection. The principal reported that he had $2,069.40 in the bank belonging to the state and asked for instructions as to whether he should remit it, in view of the fact that a deficiency in the funds of the school was inevitable. Under instructions of the board Dr. Mathes had written the State board of Audit and Control asking whether the fees collected by this school should be remitted to the State Treasurer or should be retained to meet a deficiency. The reply of the Board of Audit and Control was read. Dr. Mathes' Letter had been referred to the State Treasurer with a request for leniency in the matter, but the State Board suggested that every effort be made to curtail expenses. The reply of the State Treasurer, Geo. G. Mills, set forth that under no circumstances could he countenance a violation of the law "I appreciate your position thoroughly and must say that since the law referred to went into effect you have more fully complied with its provisions than has the head of any other institution in the state." He stated that it would be very easy to demonstrate to the next appropriation committee the reason for a deficit in that this board had figured on using our fees instead of turning them into the State Treasury. The principal reported that he had already sent the State Treasurer an amount exceeding $4,400 and that this amount would be increased to $6,500 by transmitting the amount now in bank. He was instructed to forward the $2,069.40 to the State Treasurer. The principal reported that Frank W. Lees who had the contract for delivering 300 cords of wood was finding it difficult to secure wood that would fill the specifications made by this board. His contract still lacked 36 cords of completion and he would be willing to cancel it. The contractors for 50 cords of wood for Edens hall were willing to furnish the 36 cords in question at $4.00 per cord and the principal was instructed to order the 36 cords of them. The principal announced that the State Board of Audit and Control would be at this institution Oct. 30th and 31st. The plan of entertainment included a dinner to the State and Normal school boards in the Domestic Science department the evening of the 30th, to be followed by a reception by the Senior Class. The principal reported 115 practice teachers and spoke of the necessity of an addition at an estimated cost of $10,000 to provide more room. The clerk was instructed to write the Governor stating that the biennial report of this institution was in course of preparation. The principal was granted a month's vacation. The following bills, on motion of Mr. Handschy, were audited and ordered paid: WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1908 Volume 03 - Page 003 1908-10-13 Maintenance Fund: Cunningham, Curtiss and Welch $30.40; Henri Gerard $2.10; Thiel and Welter $12.30; Northwest Hardware Co $5.75; The Diamond Palace $7.00; McDonald Bros $109.50; American School of Home Economics $14.40; Lowman and Hanford S and P Co$5.00; American Printing Co $2.00; Post Intelligencer Co. $3.00; Northwest Journal of Education $40.00; Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. $8.00; Munro and Haskell $329.80; Fairhaven Publishing Co. $2.70; Cole Truck and Storage Co. $48.33; M.
