History of the University of Puget Sound written to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the institution's founding.
Preface:
"Imagine a time line representing the history of the University of Puget Sound from its beginnings, stretching out into the unforeseeable future. If you could place yourself on that time line at the spot representing the year 1913, the view would be quite revealing.
To one side, you would see the successes and defeats of a fledgling institution, the financial collapse of Puget Sound University in 1903, its rebirth as the University of Puget Sound that same year, the growth of the student body, and the eventual resurfacing of financial woes.
Yet, if you turned around and gazed in the direction of the future, you would see that you were indeed standing at a turning point for an institution destined for distinction."
