The second oldest building on campus. North Hall houses the English and Geography Departments. Sharing the upper floor are the Index and the Vidette offices, and in the basement art students concentrate on creative activity. Located behind the Metcalf Training School, the Felmley Hall of Science contains three floors of classrooms and laboratories complete with cadavers. Here the students of the natural sciences find challenge and knowledge. For nearly a century Old Main has been the principal class- room building. Music, social science, foreign languages, educa- tion, mathematics, and speech classes are held here. Four Coiners, on the main floor, is a favorite meeting place.

Metcalf Training School provides instruc- tion for children and pupils from kinder- garten through high school. Many stu- dents of senior status do their practice teaching either in the Metcalf Elementary School or in the University High School. Sprawling acres of pasture and produc- tive soil identify the University Farm. Visitors are always welcome to tour the grounds and note the modern methods and equipment used. The farm offers practical experience to students interested in agriculture. The Industrial Arts Building houses the depart- ment of Art, Home Economics, and Industrial Arts. Capen Auditorium, with its more than a thousand plush seats, is located in this building, too.
