Suzzallo’s attempts to suppress socialism on campus would meet with middling success as there was a strong support system between powerful labor movement of the are and the Socialist and pro-labor issues and ideologues on campus.
Suzzallo notes the reports (which were not kept) "certainly casts a suspicion on organized labor." Whether Suzzallo and others’ suspicion of the power of the I.W.W. were founded or not is superseded by their personal fears.
Suzzallo took these matters into his own hands, no doubt part of his duty as one of those "few experts" to be trusted during a time when pacifists, Wobblies and professors were viewed as serious threats to the war effort and business.

"It" is Suzzallo Library, the "soul of the University," according to President Henry Suzzallo and "the dominant feature, not only of the library for all time, but of the University as a whole," according to its architect, Carl Gould, the first chair of the UW architecture department.
Built in 1927, it is the campus cathedral—a soaring exterior of 11 monumental stained glass windows, framed by Gothic-inspired statues, arches and buttresses made of terra cotta, cast stone and brick.
For the hundreds of thousands of alumni who once studied there, it is a treasured place where they sought inspiration to learn—and, for some, a quiet place to sleep (See "Suzzallo Memories").

 About the School - Founding Dean Elizabeth Soule was a public health pioneer
Soule went on to organize a continuing education conference for county nurses at the UW and in 1920, when the state health department was founded, she was asked to be the first state supervisor of public health nursing.
The following year UW President Henry Suzzallo asked her to bring her organizational talents to a new Department of Nursing, and under her direction it became one of the first in the country accredited in public health nursing.
The same year that Bertha Landes became the nation's first woman mayor, Soule received the first of two degrees from the UW and decided to dedicate herself to nursing education rather than public health nursing.
