BUILDINGS A characteristic symbol of almost any col- lege is its architecture. Fort Hays State is recognized throughout the country for its beautiful campus and distinc- tive architecture. All academic buildings are built of native limestone, much of which was quarried on college land. Like an oasis in a desert is the abundance of trees on the campus, with a variety not found elsewhere In this part of Kansas. The devoted service of men like the late Dr. L. D. Wooster, former president of the college and a true na- ture-lover, lives for future generations of stu- dents in the memorial of a verdant campus. Buildings are named for individuals who have added to the history of Kansas and of the col- lege . . . Sheridan Coliseum and Forsyth Li- brary for generals stationed at old Fort Hays, and Custer Hall for Elizabeth Custer, wife of General George A. Custer. Other buildings bear the names of persons more directly connected with the college . . . Martin Allen Hal!, named for the man who was Instrumental In having the land of the fort given to the state for use as a college; Picken Hall, now in the process of being remodeled, named for the first president of the college; Lewis Field and stadium, named for the second president; Rarick Hall, the education building, named for another president who worked for many years for Improvement of rural education as well as for the college: Agnew Hall, a wom- en ' s dormitory, named for the first dean of women of the college. Others have more prqsrac names: Memorial Union, a tribute to Fort Hays Staters who gave their lives in the service of the country; Science Hall and Applied Arts, whose functions are self explanatory. Three service buildings were completed in the fall of I960 which are used primarily to house maintenance materials, shops and for lab- oratory space for botany classes. Also com- pleted for use second semester were the mar- ried student apartments, located just west of Hackberry trailer court. A four-story dormitory, with rooms for 124 men, will be ready for occupancy in September. 30
