Biography/History

Enoch A. Bryan was born in Bloomington, Indiana, on May 10, 1855. He received an A.B. degree from Indiana University in 1878 and an A.M. Degree from that university in 1885. He also received an A.M. degree from Harvard University in 1893. He later received Honorary Doctor of Law degrees from Indiana University (1920), Michigan State University (1907), and Washington State University (1929). Bryan was President of Vincennes University from 1882-1893, after serving as the Superintendent of Public Schools in Grayville, Illinois. He came to the State College of Washington (initially called the Agricultural College, Experiment Station, and School of Science of the State of Washington, and now known as Washington State University) in 1893 and served as its president until 1916, when he became the Commissioner of Education for the State of Idaho, from 1917 to 1923. He had failed in 1916 to attain the nomination for a seat in the United States Senate.

Dr. Bryan returned to the State College of Washington in 1923 and was a professor of economic history until 1939, when he became a professor emeritus. During his lifetime he wrote three books: "The Mark in Europe and America", "The History of the State College of Washington", and "Orient Meets Occident or The Advent of the Railways into the Pacific Northwest". Dr. Bryan died in Pullman, Washington, on November 6, 1941.

Scope and Content

The personal papers of Enoch A. Bryan include: manuscripts of his books (Series 1); teaching materials, chiefly related to economics (Series 2); personal materials received from the WSU Office of the President (Series 3), including speeches, essays, and personal correspondence and papers; and materials received from the Bryan family (Series 4), including speeches and essays, personal records and papers, and papers related to the Riviera Land Company of Columbia County, Washington.

Arrangement

The papers are arranged to reflect the provenance of the papers, as well as to facilitate access. Accordingly, materials acquired circa 1990 are arranged in sequences separate from the papers acquired circa 1958. The exceptions are the drafts and manuscripts of Bryan's two books, and some of his classroom teaching materials, where related materials have been drawn together irrespective of which lot they originated with. The reason the papers were originally divided is not clear. To some degree the papers transferred in 1950s from the President's office do reflect a more official capacity, for example, many of the speeches are related to matters involving the State College. Likewise the more personal materials transferred circa 1990 tend to include more speeches and essays on literary and philosophic subjects. However, the division is not exclusive and copies or variants of the same text can be found in both lots. The order and arrangement of the speeches and essays follows that which was received by the Libraries. Texts on roughly related topics are grouped, but otherwise it is quite informal, and is neither alphabetical nor chronological. Indeed, many texts have no titles to use in alphabetization and are not dated well enough to allow arrangement in order of date.
