Abstract
Photograph taken of a 1870s photograph of Bishop George M. Randall of the Protestant Episcopal Church for the cover of the February 1974 Centennial Issue of Mines Magazine. Bishop Randall, who was one of the founders of the Colorado School of Mines, was elected missionary bishop to Colorado in 1865. After his arrival from Boston in 1866, Bishop Randall saw a need for higher education facilities in Denver. Bishop Randall built Wolfe Hall, a girls' school in Denver in 1867 and was planning to build a school on Capitol Hill in Denver for young men interested in entering the ministry. In 1868, however, he was given twelve acres for a school in Golden. In 1870 Bishop Randall opened the Jarvis Hall Collegiate School in Golden, and Mathews Hall, a divinity school, was also built in Golden. George West, F.V. Hayden, W.A.H. Loveland and E.L. Berthoud were instrumental in alerting Bishop Randall of the need for a school to train engineers for the Colorado mining industry.
