Let’s take a tour of our campus starting at the South Entrance and, walking around the sidewalk beside the oval, we see the tennis courts, and the Veterans Housing in the distance. As we walk farther we read a sign in the bricks which says, “Gymnasium, 1914”. We decide to walk inside where we see signs reading Doctors Office, Practical Nursing Department, and Music Dramatics. Walking upstairs and into the modern auditorium as the lights are turned on we sec the vertical lighting which gives the stage a reddish glow of cheerfulness. Turning and going we read on the west wall a large replica of the school seal, and the words beneath which read, “Where Students Learn By Doing”. The auditorium was recently modernized and has soft shades of green and red and a sounding board ceiling. Walking outside again we come to our present student union, “The Hub . Going inside we look into the well equipped book store at our right, turning left we see a coffee line and fall in and have a cup, then continue on our tour. Approaching the next building the old Trades Building, we hear noises from within and the smell of paint and thinner. Going inside we view the modern auto body shops. Next, we decide to walk over to a modern building which is the Fieldhouse, completed in 1951. The field house is modern in every respect and houses all athletic phases at Science. Walking west from the Fieldhouse we approach a long building to our right and read, Trades Building, 1927. We go inside and observe signs reading the names of various trade shops, classes, and offices. Time growing short we continue our tour by stepping inside the tallest and the oldest building on campus; this Old Main, built in 1891, and modernized inside in every respect. Next we approach a new building and find it to be the new heating plant, completed in 1953. The new heating plant has a 100 foot smoke stake, and the plant is combined with a garage and maintenance shop. A coal storage building next to the heating plant was completed late in 1953. We stop in at Burch Hall, which we were told was named after Earl G. Burch, the first president of Science. Going into the basement from the outside we observe a very spacious and modern Cafeteria. The dream of the girls’ dormitory is now a reality, as the outside of the building we see has been completed. The building will be entirely complete and ready for the occupancy of 64 girls and the Dean of Women in September of 1954. Other 1953 Campus improvements we were told as we left the campus were the new styling of sidewalks in front of Old Main, the parking lots and boulevard in front of the Trades Building. Large new style mercury-vapor flood lights were installed on this boulevard in December of 1953. We thanked our guide for a wonderful tour and the thoughts that entered our minds as we left him were, the Campus of Science looks great. 12
