In 1895 the University of Washington opened at its present location along the shores of Lake Washington and Lake Union at the new "Interlaken Campus." The first building on the new campus was Denny Hall, originally known as the Administration Building. Placed next to Denny Hall were the columns from the original Territorial University building in downtown Seattle. Edmond Meany and Herbert Condon had named the columns "Loyalty," "Industry," "Faith," and "Efficiency," the first letters of which spell "life." This image of the UW campus was taken facing southeast towards Lake Washington, with the Cascade Mountains visible in the upper left corner of the frame. The four columns and Denny Hall are prominent in the center of the frame, surrounded by other campus buildings, some of which had been built for 1909's Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition.
