Every visitor who strolls the University of Washington campus exclaims at its beauty. For students, faculty and staff the campus is a daily pleasure, and for alumni a treasured memory. The first edition of The Fountain & the Mountain was created to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the UW campus in 1995. In 1895, thirty-four years after opening its doors in "downtown" Seattle (population 200), the University moved to more spacious quarters at its present site. The first building on that forested site, now Denny Hall, remains an important part of the University over a century later. The campus that has evolved around it fulfills the dreams of the University’s early pioneers. This edition clearly demonstrates the ongoing vitality of the campus, documenting the completion of buildings and spaces that could only be imagined a few years ago. With over 150 beautiful color and historical images, and a completely updated text, Johnston pays full tribute to the hard work and dedicated talent expended on the campus, but he relishes the role of luck as well, such as the chance parting of the clouds that led to the founding of Rainier Vista, the campus’ most sacred space. Johnston’s affectionate, illuminating, and sometimes irreverent text is illustrated by a rich array of historical and contemporary images Words and images together convey an unmistakable message: this is a campus to be cherished and sustained as it continues its evolution and fulfills its continually expanding destiny.
