:■ jjflfjkdjjf — SELINSGROVE HALL HIS building, the birthplace of Susquehanna, was erected largely through the generosity of the people of Selinsgrove and vicinity. For many years, from 1858 to 1894, it was the only building on the campus, serv- ing as dormitory, recitation rooms, society halls, etc. Various changes have been wrought in this old building. With the erec- tion of Gustavus Adolphus Hall the recitation rooms, society halls and sev- eral other departments of the school were transferred to the new building. Dur- ing the past year changes were made, to meet the requirements and necessities of our larger number of students, chief of which was the remodeling of a quar- ter section of the first floor for the use of the Young Men ' s Christian Associ- ation as a Reading and Social room. With the exception of this part, the building is used as a Boys ' dormitory. As such it is crowded, a number of the students having been given rooms which had been fitt ed up for them in the old Chemical Laboratory. We are looking forward to the day when we will have a new dormitory for the boys as this is indeed one of our greatest needs at the present time. Selinsgrove Hall will, however, stand throughout the years as a monument to those who fostered and cared for her through her early struggles. Page Fifteen

B GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS HALL L ' ILT in 1894 to meet the ever increasing needs and demands of the in- stitution this building stands as a monument to those who saw for Mis- sionary Institute a future far more brilliant than her past and thus took the initiative in preparing to meet these needs. With the erection of this building a new era was opened in the history of the institution for no longer was the name Missionary Institute applied to her ; from that day Susquehanna University took her place among the leading institutions of higher learning in the state and nation. On the first floor is found the College Chapel, Registrar ' s Office and Reci- tation rooms. The Library occupies considerable space on the second floor. Here are to be found the current magazines and papers together with the works of masters in Literature embracing over 12,000 volumes. The Theological Chapel and dormitories for the theological students to- gether with the societv halls, and art studio are also located in this building. I ' :iL r ' ' Sixteen
