The massive columns and rustic piers of Middle Bar- racks express a feeling of permanence and security It is a long, rectangular building with an arched root. The soft shades of the varicolored bricks and the pleasing design of the building make it most attractive to the onlooker ' s aesthetic senses. This building has, inside, basket-ball courts, an indoor track, and facilities foi boxing, wrestling and gymnastics. It is lived for dances when such happj occasions ari e. And this dissertation on the main beauties of our campus draws near to com- pletion. The high spots have been touched, the outstanding features commented upon. Mam places have been neglected, for tin ' s is a yearbook of the student body, not of the campus. But, as human nature wills it. the best is always saved for the last. And so we come to the horticultural grounds on the east of the campus. Vou, who have been there, will agree- that no description is adequate, for there is sentiment as well as sublime beaut) at- tached to that spot. A rendezvous for lovers, a spot hallowed by sacred memories, we present it as the brightest jewel in beauty ' s crown. mtk
