Hall of Fame
From his days as an iron man football Athlete for the Washington Agricultural College to serving in the Washington legislature, Harry Goldsworthy did it all during his illustrious career. He was a prominent member of Cougar gridiron teams from 1904-07. Normally an end, and occasionally a center, Goldsworthy was a captain on Washington State’s undefeated team of 1906 that did not allow a point in six games. During his senior season, the Cougars were 7-1 while posting five shutouts. As a student, Goldsworthy served as president of the associated students (1907-08), was president of his Sigma Nu fraternity, editor-in-chief of the Chinook yearbook and a member of college debate and glee clubs. He graduated a member of the Phi Kappa Phi honor society prior to receiving his degree in vocational agriculture. Following graduation, he had short stints as a teacher and coach at Davenport High and Eastern Washington University (then Cheney State Normal). A strong advocate for the university during his Washington Legislature tenure (1923-31), Goldsworthy was a member of the school’s Board of Regents (1942-47), and served one stint as president (1944-45). In 1961, the university honored him by naming a student residence building Goldsworthy Hall.
