University of Washington’s Unparalleled Growth in Fifteen Years
The University of Washington has seen extraordinary growth from a 1899 383-student college with 19 faculty to over 3200 students and about 200 faculty today. The expansion outpaced buildings, with no new permanent structures funded by general taxation in 13 years aside from Alaska-Yukon-Pacific funds, while existing A-Y-P era buildings and temporary exposition facilities have housed classes and labs.

Money wasted on repairs of temporary university buildings
The article notes permanent need to replace the temporary exposition structures used by the university. Since 1905 they have cost 236573.45 in repairs, with many buildings severely deteriorated. Before 1917 lawmakers face likely overflows and may consider funding for two new buildings to avert turning students away.
