From The Old School . . . A work of art .. the campus of Gettysburg College is a prime example. From the Gothic structure of Glatfelter to the modernism of Musselman Library, Gettysburg College holds within its borders 150 years of architectural excellence. The transformation of Brei- denbaugh Hall, the chemistry building. initiated a chain of renova- tions e including the building of the new Apple Apartments. Other off-campus housing includes the purchase of the Tudor House and the Plank House as aIl-female and aII-male housing, respectively. The fine and performing arts centers. Schmucker Hall and Kline Theatre, have seen significant interior alterations while retaining their origi- nal exterior charm. E ven the title and status of this institution were reno vated from the aII-male Pennsylvania C allege to the present-da y co-educational Gettysburg College. Monuments such as the unusual shark fin and the honorable our friend Ike standing outside the Admissions office add to the scenic flavor of our campus, Pop-art has 'popped' up around the grounds of Schmucker Hall and Weidensall Hall as well as 'wormed its way' into the Quarry. Fraternit y houses scattered throughout the campus and ta wn illustrate a middIe-road style of living e. one that is neither confined within the campus nor under the domain of Mr. Zentz. Keeping up with its contemporaries. Penn Hall has been renovated from a Civil War Hospital to the main administrative building - retaining its wholistic function. Both the old and the new waxwwgw superstructures encompass the various styles of architecture and proclaim a statement spanning the course of a century.
