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.

The Margaret Coker Lawton Music Building is one of the loveliest and most modern buildings on our campus. It is detailed in beauty of lawns and shrub- bery, with the interior designed for comfort and use- fulness. Since the completion of the Music Building in 1952, it has been the scene of many campus activities. The most familiar room to Coker students is a central re- cital hall in which are held the music majors' recitals, concerts by visiting artists, glee club rehearsals, and Civilization music lectures. Flanking this hall are the studios and practice rooms, busily engaged during the day by students, professors, and ntunerous young chil- dren of H artsville who take regular lessons during the week. Classes in music theory, history and literature are conducted in the theory room, which is also used for octet practice. Not only is the Music Building home to all Coker music students, but it is also the frequent gathering place for many cultural functions of the community. THE MUSIC The Recital Hall is used for both student and visiting artists' re citals and for the Civ. music lectures. - A ev' -, - was .aaa -J-si M. V V ': W FU' .s R, ' l LU
