<p>During World War I a temporary Naval Training Station was set up on the University of Washington campus, near where the university's health sciences center is now located. The training camp was active from 1917-1919, during which time over 5,000 mostly college students were trained for both naval and naval aviation units. 
This image of U. S. Navy personnel making, repairing, and examining uniform boots was taken at the Naval Training Station. </p>
