From the Paper:

"Far from the excitement of the city is Western Washington University, oblivious to the urban problems that affect institutions located in a metropolis. Its geography is due entirely to the path of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The Northern Pacific not only moved goods in and out of Washington state, but it moved settlers in, who, in some cases, took it upon themselves to create centers of life, intellect, and positive movement forward, by settling not only their homes in communities surrounding the railway, but also there establishing great intellectual centers for the greater good."
