' kt » I ' ll meet you in Anderson. How those words ring with warm familidrity to every man or woman who has ever been an Aggie. One of the oldest buildings on the campus, it stands as a monument to the work of John A. Anderson, an early president of the college. Beginning with the north wing, devoted to the classes in agri- culture, additions were made until the native white limestone building, now administrative, stood complete. From her ancient ivy-covered tower, each morning and each noon, the tones of the college bell may be heard above t he din of noisome horns and passing traffic.

Each day the lagging steps of the student late to class seek the welcome shade of historic Fairchild. Its walks lead to chapel, and to the gymnasium. Its nothern lawn is graced by the statue of Senator hlarris, a Kansas stockman. On warm spring days its beauty is enhanced by fluffy snow- balls, white and beautiful. This former library and building of the agricultural sciences bears the name of the college president from 1 879 to 1 897, George T. Fairchild. Constructed of native rugged limestone, it symbolizes the lasting quality of his A ork for the Aggies . Ardent students of zool- ogy, physiology, and history now trudge up its well vv orn stairways.
