Chemical Engineering Building ACK of the Main Building stands the Chemical Engineering Building, erected in 1902, in which are the laboratories, lecture rooms, museums, of¬ fices and store rooms of the Veterinary and Chem¬ ical Departments. Interesting and valuable work by both depart¬ ments is carried on in this building for there is a laboratory for State Chemical work, an assay room, and a Veterinary dissecting room from which much good is derived from the research studies on the diseases of domestic animals. 20

Textile Building % 15 s e y W is-mi-iAS N THIS building may be found a typical textile mill of accepted type of modern construction. On the first floor is the machinery necessary for cord¬ ing, spinning and warp-preparation, while the sec¬ ond floor is occupied by weaving and cloth finish¬ ing machinery, the designing and class-rooms, and the instructor’s offices. The whole equipment is modeled after the arrangement of an ideal cotton mill, and even the heating and fire protection are of the highest approved types. This is as yet a young but growing industry in Texas, and in this building one has the best opportunity for studying what is destined to become the South’s most flour¬ ishing manufacturing industry. v-. iji: 19

Assembly Hall -igp v -;% N the Assembly Hall, an old two-storied brick structure, which was erected in 1889, are held ah the public exercises of the College. It will soon be in the same class with our other relics of early masonry and, besides, is inadequate for the needs of the students. Let us hope that it will be one of the first to be replaced by a handsome and monu¬ mental piece of architecture, one in which no danger will be felt, and of which we will think with a tinge of pride. Our place of worship and assem¬ blage, more than any other one building, should be of credit to the institution. :»si§ ■ - M m n •V-J. 21
