The WPA writers had this to day about UWYO:
"[page 88] The UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING occupies a 96-acre landscaped campus on a rolling hill in the northeastern section of town. It is the only institution of higher learning in the State; all colleges are on this campus. The university, coeducational from the beginning, was established in 1887, largely through the efforts of Col. Stephen W. Downey, a Laramie attorney."
