James W. Cain served as President of Washington College from 1903-1918, however, a fire destroyed William Smith Hall, where the library and records of the college were stored, and much of Cain’s early papers were lost. The bulk of the records in the collection are from after the fire and deal with its repercussions including rebuilding and fundraising. Other areas covered are athletics, hazing, a fire in the gym, other campus infrastructure issues, and World War I. There is also correspondence regarding a dispute over Sen.
