is V Q' -- New York pilgrims to Berry, led by Mrs. Emily Vanderbilt Hammond, gave us Pilgrim Hall. In 1929-30 students helped erect this dormitory on a wooded slope of Lavender Mountain. Pilgrim Hall's Gothic lines and native stone blend fittingly with the tall pines and beautiful flowering shrubs and trees that surround the building. This is the largest dormitory on the upper Campus. It houses 150 students, and has several faculty apartments, a spacious common room, a TV room, and various other facilities. Pilgrim Hall overlooks the broad valleys of the Rome area. From the dormitory site above the Dining Hall and the other Mountain Campus buildings, one can see the Berry fields and forests and the industrial plants and settlements that dot the valleys and hills along the Oostanala, Etowah, and Coosa Rivers.

igwwtow ' Z' On a hilltop across the valley from Frost Chapel stands Barstow Memorial Library, a beautiful building of colorful field stone. This library was erected by Berry students in 1940 and financed by Mr. and Mrs. George E. Barstow II in memory of their son, George E. Barstow III, who was lost at sea with the famed explorer, Richard Halliburton. Barstow Library is adjacent to the Recitation Hall. It houses a large collection of reference works and current reading material for high school students and faculty. Its rustic yet clean lines and its modern facilities make it a pleasantly functional academic building. 6 5,
