Experiment Station BEYOND the Commons is the I'. S. Government Experiment Station and its extensive botanical and horticultural gardens. This immense three story building is entirely given over to research laboratories and libraries for the study of the problems that effect the farmers and growers of stock and citrus products. A large force of experts is maintained here by the federal government for this work alone. Many important discoveries effecting the leading crops have been made within its walls by the scientists there employed. Here are the headquarters of the Farmers Institute bureaus and other extension movements. To this great agent for the betterment of farming, the producers look for aid when difficult problems confront them. 30

University Commons OPPOSITK Ihc interval between the dormitories is the building, known to all students and daily visited by them, the University Commons, or Dining Hall. The Dining Hall has connected with it a large kitchen, superintended by an excellent chef with a corps of capable assistants. To feed the army that troops in thrice daily is indeed a task. This difficult matter is handled with extreme capability by the matron, Mrs. Swanson. The dining tables are always attractive, the food appetizing as any could expect. The interior of the hall and the scene at meal time, that of filled tables and white-aproned student-waiters, moving about, is novel and pleasing to the visitor.
