Colorado University Schools

Having a ministerial passion for education and seeing great need for it in frontier Colorado Territory, Randall first established the Wolfe Hall collegiate school for girls in 1868, then in 1869 received a gift from Charles Clark Welch to begin this collegiate campus for boys.

Three colleges were opened by Randall and the Episcopal Church here: Jarvis Hall was a liberal arts, grammar and military school.

Matthews Hall was a divinity school to train future Episcopal clergy for the region.

[2] After Randall died in 1873 the campus began to be dismantled, from efforts within the church striving to remove its colleges to Denver.

After a short return by the School of Mines back to its original building in 1879, it then moved to its new permanent campus in the city.
