E. E. and M. E. Building .....-- 3 oq..... i mi »• ®i5»s ■ !) ! ? ...... ■-:; v N rear of Leggett Hall, and north of the Main Building is located a large re-inforced concrete structure which, on account of its double purpose, is called the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Building. In here are quartered, the two depart¬ ments with numbers of good-sized recitation rooms, drawing rooms, laboratories, and an auditorium which seats about three hundred people. The shops and machinery of the Mechanical Engin eering De¬ partment are still housed in the antique relic known as the M. E. Building, but the electrical equipment has been moved from the old Gathright Hall to a spacious and well-lighted laboratory in the basement of this new building. I $0$$ ■ 15

Harvey Mitchell Hall ARVEY MITCHELL HALL, a four-story dormi¬ tory, was finished last fall and has been occupied during the present session. By its location on the campus it balances Goodwin Hall, and also resem¬ bles the latter in outline and construction. The Ma¬ sonic Lodge of Bryan, with solemn ceremony laid the corner-stone, and in honor of one of the strongest supporters the College has ever had, named the building Harvey Mitchell Hall. It is a modern dormitory in every respect, is electric lighted, steam heated, has water in every room, and shower baths on each floor. All rooms are on the outside and open into a hall which runs round an interior court, insuring plenty of light. There is no communication between floors for each one has a stairway of its own, ascending from the entrance. This is a typical feature of all the later dormitories, as is the open court. 14

Civil Engineering Building PPOSITE the E. E. and M. E. Building stands the Civil Engineering Building. They are of the same type, greatly resemble each other, and for this reason add a touch of symmetry to the cam¬ pus. When this building was completed in 1910, it satisfied a great need, for in it are the A rchi¬ tectural, Drawing, Physics and Civil Engineering Departments. In the basement are the large test¬ ing machines, the Hydraulics and Physics labo¬ ratories; on the first floor are class rooms and rooms for experimental work in Physics, while the second and third floors are devoted to the offices, libraries, section and drafting rooms of the Architectural and Civil Engineering Depart¬ ments.
