And on March 9, 1867, the Legislature voted its first cash appropriation for higher education to repair and furnish the University building, which since the 50's had stood unoccupied and crumbling. In October of that year Principal W. W. Washburn and two assistants began teaching. These assistants were Gabriel Campbell and Ira Moore. A goodly number of students, chie y from the families in the neighborhood of the University, enrolled themselves in the new school. The work of this preparatory department was carried on for two years with such eminent success and satisfaction that it was felt by the Regents that the time had come to enlarge the field of instruction and correspondingly to increase the teaching force.
