For a place that has more tlian three hundred buildings in a nine hundred acre area, Indiana ' s campus is remarkably informal. In the summer, when student enrollment is one- third of its normal total, children roller-skate on walks, classes are held on the lawns, and Dunn Meadow is used as a place to practice golf.

ir -i :--- i-,. ' f ' ' ■ ' i Z i m A giant sprawled over irregular land that once fed cattle and produced firewood. Indiana University sits atop 1,392.06 acres of red, infertile clay. With summer ' s foliage, few buildings lack a certain seclusion. Neither the eye nor the camera can record any significant expanses ... for both are soon arrested by an intervening hill, building, or group of trees. It is difficult to maintain this rural charm. Steel, stone, and cement are massed to form new buildings . . . America ' s autos demand more parking lots and wider drives. Summer sends the student home and smothers Bloomington in uncomfortable heat. Grass, flowers, and trees prosper . . . again, fragments of campus look like corners of farmers ' meadows.

Part of fall afternoons is the music of the March- ing Hundred. The band members march from the auditorium to the drill field, where they practice for almost two hours. It is usually after sundown when the band starts to return to the auditorium.
