A hreplace, grand piano, lounges, and lamps assure the room its serene loveliness. The library, with some l5,000 volumes, is composed of the two main reading and reference rooms, the stacks, newspaper room, and several smaller work rooms. A modern journalism laboratory well equipped with typewriters, files, and all that goes to make college journalism practical, and the Student Exchange with its postoftice and supply store are important parts of MacLean. Connected by a wing and south of MacLean is the Physical Education build- ing, in which are two gymnasiums, a swimming pool, showers and locker rooms, nurses' office and class 1'OOlll. The pool is a symphony of color. To the east of MacLean Hall and facing the west are the two women's dormi- tories, Comstock and VVheeler. An innovation this year was the men's dor1nitory, transformed from the old lixchange and recreation hall. Directly across the campus and to the east of Weld Hall, is the Training School, which trains the teacher in class room work and offers to children educa- tion from the kindergarten through the high school. The first floor is devoted to the elementary grades, and the second to the junior and senior high school. The Training School auditorium provides scope for all talents.

The campus plan is that of a quadrangle, buildings all facing toward the Cell- ter of the campus, where sidewalks converge into a circular plot. Though not as yet realized, the plan is to have a stone gateway form the entrance to the col- lege. Trees and firs and shrubs, necessarily newly planted, grace the sweeping lawns. Another landscape feature not evident to the casual eye is the botanical garden to the rear of MacLean Hall. MacLean Hall is the administration, classroom, and library building. Form- ing part of the side entrance facing west, lending a touch of the past tradition to MacLean, are the two large blocks of 'Kasota stone which were salvaged from the entrance to the old training school. One of the most used and attractive rooms in the building is Ingleside, the social room.
