■V ,- Campus College Hall seen throug copic camera from Church niie. ' Situated on a hill overlooking Wister Woods, the campus while easily reached by public trans- portation has the appearance of being far re- moved from the hurry city. The quadrangle, which serves as the center of the twenty acre campus, abounds in trees and shrubs. On the quadrangle, one could hard- ly tell that a street car runs on the other side of College Hall. The shade of the trees beckoned many students on the warm days and a few professors conduct classes on the quadrange dur- ing the humid days of Spring. The Faculty House and College Hall form an L that closes two sides of the quadrangle. Mc- Shain Hall and the Field House complete the h the eyes of a teles- Lane and Chew Ave- other two sides. The Shrine of the Sacred Heart with the memorial to La Salle men killed in past wars is in the center of the quadrangle. A light burns constantly before the statue. The Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes fills in the corner be- tween McShain Hall and the Field House. Behind McShain Hall is Leonard and Benilde Halls. Leonard Hall, the student union building, was dedicated just a few weeks before we ar- rived on the campus. The first post-war addi- tion to the campus, Leonard Hall was named for Brother G. Leonard, who had a great interest in extra-curricular activities during his stay at La Salle. 33
