When one approaches Coker College through the main gate, the Administration Building is the first building seen on campus. Because of the important activities carried on within it, the location of this build- ing has become significant. The president's ofiice is the heart of any college. Certainly it is at Coker. Directing, supervising, con- stantly making decisions . . . these are but a few of the many duties of Coker's president, Dr. J. A. Barry, Jr. The business ofhce which handles Coker's financial affairs is also situated in this building. The students' bank constitutes an important part of this ofiice. Another important office found in the Administra- tion Building is that of the academic dean. One of the vital functions of this office is the scheduling and re- arranging of courses. The combined public relations and alumnae ofiices complete the administrative activities carried on in this building. Foreign languages are a necessary part of many majors. French and Spanish are taught in the two classrooms of this building. In the library, supplements to the curriculum help students with their regular work. Its supply of books, periodicals and records is a well chosen collection. The auditorium is the most well known part of the administration building. Its semi-circular shape seats many visitors as well as the student body. B ILDI Whether one is entering or leaving the college, the Gates will ,al- ways remain a symbol of all that Coker holds dear. The Reading Room of the library contains most current periodicals and newspapers as well as an excellent collection of reference books. Studying in the library sometimes doesn't turn out quite the way it's planned.

A familiar landmark on our campus is the Science Building, which was completed in 195l.'It was dedicated in memory of William Chambers Coker, an outstanding and eminent figure in the field of botany. The beautiful shrubbery surrounding this building highlights its spacious, well-kept lawns. Bordering the paved walks are a variety of lovely flowers consisting chiefly of camellias and azaleas. The interior of this building is as interesting and fascinating as the exterior. Here are found Civ. lecture rooms, a convenient and charmingly furnished day students' lounge, a biology mu- seum with its display of plants and animals, biology and chem- istry libraries, general and advanced biology and chemistry labs, a greenhouse filled with a choice variety of plants, various fac- ulty oiiices, and a physics supply room. At the top of this build- ing is the observatory for those interested in astronomy. Perhaps the most popular and modern feature of the building is the ele- vator, a welcome relief for many weary feet. This majestic and stately building beautifies our campus and is a standing and lasting symbol to all seeking higher intel- E lectual attainment.
