Padelford, 1909

Frederick Morgan Padelford (1875–1942), pronounced Pa-DEL-ford, was an American professor and author. He worked at the University of Washington in Seattle for 41 years. He chaired the English Department and served as dean of the graduate school.[1][2] The Orbis Cascade Alliance has a collection of his papers.[3]

Padelford graduated with a B.A. from Colby College (1896) and a PhD from Yale (1899). He also received an LLD from Mills College in 1936.[3]

He was a Spenserian scholar.[1] A review of one of his works described him as writing with great spirit and mastery of evidence.[4]

He married Jessie Elizabeth (Bessie) Pepper (1874–1967). Her father was President of Colby College. Their children were Morgan, Charlie, Eunice, and Philip Sidney Padelford (June 8, 1912 – October 12, 2009).[5]

Padelford hall, a building on the UW campus, was named in his honor.[6]
