D Many scenes this picture suggests. I remember one evening, when return- ing during a serenade, Stone Hall looking like a gigantic altar, candles from every tvindow shedding their soft radiance out into the night. At the corona- tion of the May Queen it was gay with pennants, as with her retinue sh e de- scended the steps to receive the croivn from the hands of Dr. Cohvell. Not often did it ivear this festive appearance. But ivhen, suitcase laden, ive re- turned after the holidays, hoiv ivarmly ivelcoming it seemed to us ivho had learned to love it and to call it Home ! — Clara A. Davies 19

The old board fence, the ivide gate, the stile and the hedge are gone. To the students of the seventies and eighties, the one familiar feature is the Neiv Brick (Talbot Hall). It stands, as in days of yore, solid and stately, una- dorned, save by the ivy that climbs and clings to its walls. Southward, facing this, is Doayie Academy, noiv a memorial of Dr. Doane, one of Denison ' s liberal benefactors. The central feature is the East Plaza, provided by the generosity of Mr. E. J. Barney. This is beautifully ornate and transformiyig, especially in the vernal months tvhile the shrubbery is richly laden ivith luxuriant bloom. Its pillars are croiuned ivith electric lights, and high above towers the neiv steel flag-staff, on ivhicli is often unfurled to the breeze, the stars and stripes, an inspiration to loyalty and patriotism. — BUNYAN Spencer ' 79 18

D 1 The Old Brick, as we called Marsh Hall from 1871 until a few years ago, was my home during 1871-2, 1872-3 and 187 The three rooms I lived in recall many experiences: study, fairly earnest but immature; leisure for the luxury of books; congenial companionships ; letters tvritten home about my ad- ventures of mind and character in these new surroundings, not realized as yet but felt already as an opportunity long desired and at last attained. — George Fitch MgKibben ' 75 20
