Campus
William Woods University is named after Dr. William Stone Woods of the National Bank of Commerce. In 1901, the institution is named William Woods College, in honor of the physician and banker whose interest in the education of young women impelled him to endow the institution with substantial and repeated gifts throughout the century.
The campus in Fulton, Missouri includes buildings of various types, but two favorites of the campus community are Dulany Auditorium and the William S. Woods Academic Building.
Dulany Auditorium was built in 1907. Mrs. D.M. Dulany contributed $7,500 toward construction of the $24,000 building in memory of her husband. The stained glass portrait windows are of D.M. Dulany, W.H. Dulany and Benjamin L. Locke, all early supporters of the college.
The William S. Woods Academic Building, or the "Academic Building" as most students refer to it, is a three-story brick structure houses administrative offices, classrooms and faculty. It was completed in 1921.
