Meany graduated from the Territorial University in 1885 with a bachelor's degree in science; master's degree in science in 1889. In 1894, Meany became the UW's first registrar while also holding positions as an instructor and secretary to the UW Board of Regents; in 1897, he became a full professor and head of the UW history department, teaching courses in forestry, American history, and Pacific Northwest history. Meany served as a Washington State legislator during the 1891 and 1893 sessions. He initiated legislation that set aside 355 acres to be used for the new campus of the UW. Meany was instrumental in bringing the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition to the University's campus in 1909. By studying at the University of Wisconsin during the summers, Meany earned a master of letters degree in 1901. His thesis on Chief Joseph was the beginning of Meany's research on the Indians of the Northwest and northern plains. He was president of the Mountaineers from 1908 until his death in 1935. Meany was particularly interested in Pacific Northwest history, especially Washington State history. In 1906, Meany became editor of the short-lived Washington Magazine, and shortly thereafter became managing editor of the journal Washington Historical Quarterly, a position he held for the rest of his years)
