Near Nature’s Wonderland Far above Cameron College and the surrounding area of Ft. Sill, Lawton and Comanche County is the huge colossas of granite called Mt. Scott. Sentinel of the picturesque Wichita mountains is this enduring mountain which was ancient when Columbus touched foot in the Western Hemisphere. Cameron College nestles at the foothills of this magic land of elk, buffalo, deer and antelope. Cougars and wild cats tread the Wichita Wildlife Refuge, unafraid. One of the great primitive parks preserved by the federal government, this wildlife refuge provides a beauty spot which is un¬ paralleled in the Great Plains. Students seeking the open life of the great West can find no spot more adequate to commune with nature, to fish, to snap photos of enduring nature than here, only 15 miles from the campus. Placid blue lakes, huge slabs of gray, red and purple granite, oak, elm and willow trees form a frame-work of natural beauty for picnics, fishing trips or just loafing in the sun.
