The change from Pennsylvania College foi Women to Chatham College is typical ol the many changes in our histor) in thai it lias con- tributed to our growth without altering the essen- tial atmosphere of the campus. The physical plant ol the college has grown from a single building to eighteen buildings, but the campus location has retained the original charm of which the founders said, It is the most commanding and beautiful within the bounds of the municipal col potation, being lice lioni the smoke and dust ol the city, perfectly retired, and yet within three minutes ' walk of the Oakland horse-cars. The single building which housed the entire Pittsburgh Female College in 1H70 was Berry Hall, the former home ol George A. berry. Berry Hall stood atop the hill where the Quad is located today. When Berry was removed to make way for Braun, Falk, and Coolidge, the original doors oi the building were preserved and en- shrined in the browsing room of the Library. Berry ' s American Gothic and the Romanesque architecture of old Dilworth have given way to the Georgian architecture ol the six buildings which now crown our hill. The wooden steps from the road, with their charming summer house, have been replaced by sturdy stone steps to the Chapel. Stoney Corners and Broadview, once dormitories, are now the homes of Mr. Ash- man and Dr. Wallace. Just this year, the beaten path through the orchard has been replaced with a solid stone walk. These changes are concrete- and cm be de- lineated in words, but the more- important, un- changing qualities are abstract and can only be suggested in words. We ' ve retained a warm, homelike campus, an intellectual curiosity, and an ideal of the liberal arts education which was expressed by a writer in the IKS:) annual. While making much ol Latin and Greek. Mathematics, Physical Sciences and Belle Lettres, Alma Mater does not neglect the cultivation ol the divine gifts . . . but seeks to secure that symmetrical development of power which we can truly call education.
