A welcome sight to FSUers around the hours of eight, twelve and six each day, the modern dining hall has four separate dining rooms each served cafe- teria style. Completed in 1940, it is famous for its specialty of the house, date delight. 1902 was the first year students could obtain both room and board on campus. East Hall for women contained a dining room and kitchen. With the growth of FSCW a larger building was needed and in 1913 a new dining hall located adjacent to Bryan and Reynolds Hall was built. Here the food was served family style until this year when it was converted into an attractive cafeteria.

The progressive building which paved the way for Florida State University is best shown by the build- ings themselves. The college gates were a gift from the class of 1916. They added much to the term entering college, and formed a picturesque frame for the fountain in front of Westcott a gift of the classes of 1915 and 1917. Another essential landmark in those days was the stepping stone for getting in and out of carriages and buggies by the front steps. Before the towers of Westcott stood sentinel over the college on the hill a smaller building on the same site called College Hall housed the library, class rooms, laboratories, and offices of the President and the Board of Education. mx: X • ■3 ;.
