gn -. S i.: --... '4 M is A winter snowfall provides a beautiful setting on Illinois XVesleyan's campus in the evening. The Fred Young Field House was the location of many varied activities this past year. 'i s .-eL.L 'asf Buildings Back in 1850. the first students of Illinois X11-sleyan held their classes in the basement of a small Methodist church in Bloomington. Since then. over forty-three buildings have been added to the campus. The oldest of these is Old North Hall. which was built in 1857. The largest was Hedding Hall. which burned down in 1943. The famous arch is all that is left of this gigantic structure. Presently the largest building on campus is Ferguson Hall, a girls' dormitory seven stories tall. The future shows many more buildings on YVesleyan's campus. A grant for the building of a new library to replace Buck has been received. Plans for three new dormitories and a chapel have been made. New facilities also will in- clude a natatorium and a bowling alley. YVithin two years. students will see the completion of four new fraternity and sorority houses. By 1970, all these buildings will be finished. and XVesleyan will be prepared to cope with its 1500 students. 15 it ' -??f',-wwf, gg tif'-:'sL1:'- ss 'ff' IH me -f --'- 2 :y a me t - 1 u .... ...
