History




Main Hall, now known as Maurice O. Graff Main Hall, is the original campus building.



The early years



The university was founded as the La Crosse State Normal School in 1909, the eighth of nine state normal schools established in Wisconsin between 1866 and 1916 for the purpose of teacher preparation.[14]Thomas Morris sponsored the bill in the Wisconsin State Senate that led to the university's creation.[15] Initially, the La Crosse State Normal School was authorized to offer two-year programs to prepare students for the teaching profession.[16]Main Hall (now Maurice O. Graff Main Hall),[17] the original building on campus, was constructed the year the school was founded. The La Crosse State Normal School opened its doors later that same year with Fassett A. Cotton as its first president.[18]




Maurice O. Graff Main Hall in 2017


La Crosse State Normal School students began organizing several extra-curricular activities within two years of the school's founding. In 1910, students published the first campus newspaper, The Racquet, which is still published today. The Physical Education Club was formed in 1912, making it the longest continuous organization in the school's history.


The Physical Education Building (now Wittich Hall), the original physical education building, was completed in 1916 after delays due to the start of World War I.[19] This was not the only setback for the school during this period. The school struggled through serious declines in enrollment and funding following World War I and throughout the Great Depression.[20]


In 1926, George M. Snodgrass became the school's third president, replacing Ernest A. Smith, who served for only one year.[18] That same year the school's programs were expanded and authorization was given to award baccalaureate teaching degrees. This led to an institutional name change the following year to La Crosse State Teachers College.[16]


In 1931 the college was divided into separate elementary education, secondary education, and physical education divisions. It was also this year that the homecoming tradition of the "Hanging of the Lantern" began at the south entrance of Maurice O. Graff Main Hall. It was created by English teacher Orris O. White who remarked, "We'll hang the lantern in the old college tower... You won't need to look for the key – the door will be open."[19]
The Training School, which had also been referred to as the Campus School and the Model School, moved into its newly constructed building in 1939.[19][21][22] The La Crosse State Teachers College Training School Building was later renamed Morris Hall in honor of Wisconsin politician, Thomas Morris.[23] The Training School provided practice and supervised observation for teacher training candidates.[24] 1973 was the last year of operation for the Training School.[19] Rexford S. Mitchell became the college's fourth president that same year, serving until 1966.[18]



Post World War II years




Wittich Hall, the second building built on campus


After the Regents authorized the nine Wisconsin State Teachers Colleges to establish baccalaureate degrees in liberal arts, the college changed its name to Wisconsin State College-La Crosse in 1951.[16] It was also this same year that Wilder Hall became the first campus residence hall.[25] In 1956, the college was authorized to establish graduate programs, which led to the Master of Science and Master of Arts in Teaching degrees. A graduate program in physical education was also established at that time.[16] Florence Wing Library, the college's first library, was constructed that same year and began a period of substantial expansion for the college. Over the next 18 years (1956–1974), the college ballooned from 5 buildings to a total of 23 buildings. The college added 11 residence halls, 4 academic buildings, 2 libraries, and 2 student centers during that time.


In 1959, the college celebrated its 50th anniversary, with an enrollment of 1,821 students. That same year presidential candidate John F. Kennedy visited campus and spoke to a packed Graff Main Hall auditorium.[19]



In 1964, the college was designated a university as part of the Wisconsin State University System and was renamed Wisconsin State University-La Crosse.[16] This designation led to the creation of the Colleges of Education, Health-Recreation-Physical Education, and Letters and Sciences. Later, the School of Business Administration was also formed within College of Letters and Sciences.[16] A few years after receiving university designation, the university's fifth president, Samuel G. Gates, began his term in 1966.




Morris Hall, the third building built on campus


The Wisconsin State University System merged with the University of Wisconsin System in 1971, at which time the university adopted its current name and also changed the title for the head of the university from President to Chancellor. Kenneth E. Lindner, who was at the time the university's sixth president, became the university's first chancellor. Lindner, after serving as chancellor from 1971 to 1979, was succeeded by Noel Richards, who served as the university's chancellor until 1991.[18] Lindner Forest, a heavily wooded section in the southern part of campus, was named in honor of former Chancellor Lindner.


In 1989, the university's mascot became the Eagle. UWL men's athletics teams had previously been known as the Indians (1937–1989),[19] Red Raiders, Hurricanes, Racqueteers, and Peds and Maroons. The women's athletic teams were known as the Roonies, derived from the university's school colors of maroon and gray, since the inception of female intercollegiate competition in the early 1970s. They adopted the Eagle mascot a year after it became the university mascot.[26] Since the adoption of the Eagle mascot, the band's mascot has been the Screaming Eagle, having been known as the Marching Chiefs before that.[19] The "Eagle in the L" and caricature, which were both created in 1989, were unveiled just before the fall sports teams took to the field as the Eagles for the first time. They were penned by Dave Christianson, a 1973 arts graduate who created the images after the adoption of the Eagle mascot.[27]



The 1990s


In 1991, Judith Kuipers became UWL's third chancellor, serving until 2000.[18] She was the institution's first and only female leader. In 1992, Kuipers was instrumental in the creation of the La Crosse Medical Health Science Consortium.[19] The consortium, a collaboration of UWL, Viterbo University, Western Technical College, Franciscan Skemp Medical Center, and Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center, was created to provide cutting-edge medical education, research and training. This led to the creation of the US $27 million Health Science Center in 2000.[28]


Under the university's strategic plan, "Forward Together," the university reorganized into four colleges: the College of Business Administration; the College of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation; the College of Science and Allied Health; and the College of Liberal Studies, which housed the School of Arts and Communication and the School of Education.[19] The College of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation underwent a few names changes before eventually merging with the College of Science and Allied Health to form the College of Science and Health in 2006.[29]



The Cleary Alumni & Friends Center[30] along with Murphy Library remodeling projects were completed in 1995.[31] Construction continued on campus, and two years later, the Recreational Eagle Center and the Hoeschler clock tower were also finished.[19] Hoeschler Tower becomes a focal point on campus and the new home for the traditional "Hanging of the Lantern."[32]

The 21st century


The turn of the century saw a number of changes at UWL. The Archaeology Building and Laboratories, which was a US $380,000 renovation of the campus's original power plant, had its grand opening that year.[19] A US $9.9 million renovation to Wing Technology Center also was started at that time and was completed in 2001.[33] Another major change was the resignation of Chancellor Kuipers.[18] She was replaced on an interim basis by Douglas Hastad,[19] who was named the university's fourth chancellor and ninth leader by the UW System Board of Regents in 2001.[34]


In the 2001–2002 academic year, the university's athletic teams won four national championships, three NCAA Division III championships (indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, and cross country), and one NCGA title (women's gymnastics).[19]


Joe Gow became the fifth chancellor and 10th leader of UW–La Crosse on February 1, 2007.[35] He replaced Douglas Hastad, who left to become president at Carroll College, in Waukesha, Wisconsin.[36] His official inauguration took place on October 19, 2007.[37] Gow often personally e-mails the entire student body to inform them about student accomplishments and upcoming university events. An accomplished guitarist, he performed at the Cartwright Center's "Cellar" restaurant for students after taking over as chancellor.[38]


The university supports cultural events, regional and national conferences, prominent speakers, applied research, health care, professionals with varying expertise, a large workforce, and numerous faculty, staff and student community volunteers.


The percentage of the university's budget that is state funded has declined over the past few years. In 1996, students paid 35% of the cost of their education at UWL and the state the remaining 65%. By 2005, the student share had grown to 51% as the state's shrunk to 49%.[39] The university has felt the strain caused by decreased public funding.[40] The university's centennial campaign and "growth and access" agenda are both aimed at providing the necessary financial resources to deal with the decreased state funding.[39][41]




Centennial Hall


The university's plans for the future revolve around increasing access to UWL for talented students of all backgrounds and expanding student research and academic opportunities. Both the centennial campaign and "growth and access" agenda are major tools meant to lead the university to these goals.[39][41]


Construction for a new academic building, Centennial Hall, began Spring 2009 and the building opened for the Fall 2011 academic year. Built at a cost of $44 million, it houses 44 classrooms, two auditoriums, the Academic Advising Center, Counseling and Testing Center, Multicultural Student Services, Office of International Education, and Student Support Services.[42]


Students in the Spring of 2012, overwhelming voted in favor of a new student center, to replace current Cartwright Student Center. Construction for the new student center occurred during the 2014–2015 and 2015–2016 academic years, and opened in January 2017. The new student center edifice was designed to emulate Grandad Bluff, a defining feature of La Crosse.[43]


$241 million in major, long-term building projects are underway on campus.[44][45] These investments include an $82 million renovation and addition to Cowley Hall for the sciences, a new $53 million student union, a new residence hall, additions to the parking ramp, a sustainable chilled water plant, and more.



Campus




Lindner Forest, named in honor of former Chancellor Kenneth E. Lindner


The 119-acre (48 ha) campus is located in a residential section of La Crosse. The extensive landscape of grassy fields, trees, flowers, and other vegetation gives the campus a distinct park-like feel. The university has limited vehicle traffic on campus. In 2006, UW–La Crosse received a "Grand Award" at the 2006 Green Star Awards competition for its campus landscaping from the Professional Grounds Management Society.[46]


To the east of campus are the La Crosse bluffs, of which the most prominent is Grandad Bluff (mentioned in Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain. Downtown La Crosse and the Mississippi River are about a half mile west of campus.


Hoeschler Tower (1996), located in the heart of UWL, is the focal point of campus and a popular destination and meeting place for students.[32] It is also the site for many university and student events, such as concerts, fundraisers, the clocktower dance, memorial services, and the traditional hanging of the lantern.


Sidewalk chalk is used as a means of communication among students throughout the warmer months. It is used to advertise future events, share personal ideas, and promote political agendas, among other things.


Students can live in one of the university's residence halls. The newest residence hall, Eagle Hall, opened Fall 2011 and houses 500 students and the Office of Residence Life.[47] Reuter Hall, an apartment-style residence hall, was completed in 2006. Two 1950s-era residence halls, Trowbridge Hall and Baird Hall, were demolished in spring 2009 to make way for a new academic building, Centennial Hall, which was completed in the fall of 2011 and is the largest academic building on campus.

School traditions



The Eagle mascot


The university's school colors are maroon and gray. The university mascot, which was adopted in 1989, is the Eagle. UWL men's athletics teams had previously been known as the Indians (1937–1989),[19] Red Raiders, Hurricanes, Racqueteers, and Peds and Maroons. The women's athletic teams were known as the Roonies, derived from the university's school colors of maroon and gray, since the inception of female intercollegiate competition in the early 1970s until November 1990 when they also adopted the Eagle mascot.[26] Since the adoption of the Eagle mascot, the band's mascot has been the Screaming Eagle, having previously been known as the Marching Chiefs.[19]


UW–La Crosse's athletic teams sport an "Eagle in the L" and caricature, which was created in 1989, when the sports teams took to the field as the Eagles for the first time. It was created by Dave Christianson, a 1973 art major graduate who penned the images after the UWL men's teams adopted the Eagle mascot.[citation needed] Women's teams started sporting the Eagles moniker in November 1990. The UWL Eagle mascot was named "Colbert" in a vote by students during the 2008–2009 school year.[27][94] On October 10, 2012, Colbert was retired, and a new similar looking mascot was introduced, named Stryker.[95]




Memorial Gazebo



Hanging of the Lantern


The Hanging of the Lantern tradition dates back to 1913 when UWL students hung small lanterns in house windows near campus. In 1931, longtime faculty member Orris O. White began a tradition of hanging one large lantern in the Maurice O. Graff Main Hall tower, above the building's south entrance. The act welcomed alumni who had returned home. "We'll hang the lantern in the old college tower over the south door. You won't need to look for the key—the door will be open," declared White.


Since 1931, a lantern has hung each Homecoming. It hung on the south side of Graff Main Hall until 1997 when it was moved to the Hoeschler Tower in the center of campus. The tower's lantern hangs year-round and is lit every evening at dusk.



Lighting of the "L"


The Lighting of the "L" tradition began after a 1935 college prank. Bored on a foggy day, F. Clark Carnes and Bernie Brown hiked up Miller's Bluff, north of Grandad Bluff. They gathered and piled brush in the shape of a 30-foot (9.1 m) by 15-foot (4.6 m) "L", started it on fire, and slipped down the bluff toward campus before police could locate them. When Brown and Carnes reached Veterans Memorial Stadium, the fog lifted and allowed the crowd to see the "L". In recent years, the "L" has been lit by electricity and shines from Grandad Bluff.
