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

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

Barney Science Hall brings many memories. For two years as janitor and engineer, I lived in the basement. The corner stone ivas painted black the night before it ivas to be laid. Further details might incriminate. Ours was the first Freshman class to enter it. Dr. Chamberlain built the first compound inter- ferometer here. Mr. Eugene J. Barney gave it in memory of his father and after the fire he re-built and equipped it. Those of us who ivere inspired to better things on account of its privileges can never repay the debt ive owe to the generous, good man ivho gave it. — E. A. Deeds ' 97 21 J
