Wlould you like to learn about rocks and stones, or the composition of the earth? You can, if you explore Brice hall, home of the geology labs and classrooms. One of its interesting fea- tures is the museum. Geology students have had the experiences of those early morning field trips as they leave from Brice and head towards the Woods and caves. Brice was erected in memory of Calvin S. Brice. 1 A- ,W The steady drone of voices and the staccato click of typewriters can be heard cascading from Irvin hall at any time throughout the year. Primarily a classroom building, Irvin is also the home of the student publications, and consequently, the place Where the paths of many Miamians cross. Irvin, which houses the history department, was built in 1925 in memory of Horace A. Irvin, a member of the class of 1874 and a past member of the Board of Trustees. Adjacent to Irvin hall is a building of sim- ilar structure, Hughes hall. Between classes, the walks leading to Hughes are crammed with chemistry, economic and accounting ma- jors. In its main floor auditorium, music groups and the student-faculty council meet. Lecturers are received by large turnouts in one of the second floor spacious rooms. These two buildings are constantly in use by many students and faculty members. 3 f :ef1,w.,iez . ,ggi '
