RESOLUTION CONCERNING REGISTRAR: On motion of Trustee Smith the President was commissioned to draft a resolution expressing apperciation of the service rendered by the retiring Registrar. RESOLUTION: The Board of Trustees of the Bellingham State Normal School accept with sincere regret the resignation of Registrar J. M. Edson. During the six years of his official connection with the school, Mr. Edson has proved painstaking and efficient to a high degree. As the appointed agent of the Board he has been uniformly tactful and courteous in his dealings with students, teachers, employees, and the public. He has been an honest and careful custodian of the State funds, using such keenness in expenditures as would be shown in the conduct of private business. His experience as printer and school board member has made him doubly useful in the responsible position he has filled. During his term of office the duties of Registrar have expanded materially and have become very exactingm but he has met, easily and without complaint, every new demand upon his time and energy. He is popular with the faculty and employees, holds the esteem of students, and is respected by Bellingham business men. He has systemmatized his office and leaves it in perfect order. Withal he is a fine, well rounded gentleman, whose services the Board are loath to lose. The best wishes of the School will always go with Mr. Edson. The Board then adjourned. ##

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.
