A two-story brick building on the northeast corner of 10th and Jackson Streets was soon erected and the fi rst classes began in January 1866. In 1868, the school was renamed Washburn College, in recognition of a $25,000 donation by Ichabod Washburn, a church deacon and resident of Worcester, Mass. Th e university was granted a permanent location in 1865 when Topekan Col. John Ritchie donated a 160-acre site, which at the time was a considerable distance southwest of the city. Construction on the fi rst building began in 1872, with occupancy taking place in 1874. For the next two decades, col- lege President Peter MacVicar conducted an aggressive development campaign. His eff orts resulted in the establishment of numerous Victorian limestone structures which characterized the campus for the next 90 years. Expansion of the school was constant. Th e School of Law was organized in 1903, as was a School of Fine Arts and a medical school, which educated physicians until 1913. During the next three decades structures such as the Mulvane Art Museum, Benton Hall and Whiting Field House were added to the campus. In June 1966, a tornado struck Topeka and several historic buildings on campus were demolished. Th e Washburn community rallied and fi nancial support from friends and alumni made possible the rebuilding of many school facilities during the coming years.
