College Faculty, 1900-1901

In 1900-01, "departments," as we know them today, did not yet exist, nor did the departmental "major." The University Bulletin for 1900-01 lists professors in 19 disciplinary areas-one professor per area, except in Greek, where there were two professors. Some areas had assistant professors, bringing the professorial faculty to 28, two of whom were women.

These faculty are listed in the order that their areas of instruction and courses were listed in the 1900-01 Bulletin. Three of these individuals served as dean of the College, and five campus buildings bear the names of faculty listed below:
