Willard, (and all the other young folks out there) the UW Physics  
Dept was host to an Army Math Research Center, accused by anti- 
Vietnam War protesters of research that supported the war effort.   
They blew up the building in protest (1970 -- a few months after the  
ROTC building at Kent State was burned by the same gang or reasonable  
facsimile thereof).  No accident.
