This is a postcard that I found on ebay last month, depicting the university at its previous address (where Jason Lee Elementary is now on Sixth Av.). I didn't bid on it but one of our alums (who wishes to remain anonymous) snapped it up and sent it to us. Thanks so much!
A bit of history: Given the fact that the University is given on the postcard as the "University of Puget Sound" and not "Puget Sound University" or "College of Puget Sound," this, combined with the location would date the card from between 1903 and 1913. This school has had four names, our current one twice. Behind the main building you can see another building under construction which, from our recent history, hints that this picture dates from the period of rapid expansion that took place under President Below from 1907-09.
