WHEELER HALL Bells ring, doors fly open, and halls of the old red brick building suddenly become a bedlom of activity as students rush from one class to another. This administration building, named for E. P. Wheeler, one of the founders of the college, has remained the nucleus for academic work offered at North- lcrnd. Wheeler Hall is the oldest of the campus buildings, but through mod- ernization and additions it has kept pace with the demands of present day necessities. On the third floor a lounge has been built for the girls, and the old read- ing room has been converted into C study hall for the Civilian Pilot Training course. In it a full size cub plane has been placed to aid in C: more efficient study of its mechanical details. A new Carnegie room has been completely furnished to meet the needs of music theory classes, and is opened during tree periods to anyone wishing to listen to selections from the very complete music library. These as well as other changes have made Wheeler c: more efficient and enjoyable place in which to study. The foundation blocks of Wheeler Hall ore studded with class numerals, placed there by C1 succession of Iunior Classes during the Ivy Day ceremony which takes place at Commencement time. The ivy which com be seen climb- ing over its walls is reminiscent of those Iunior Classes who planted them. Where they have gone, whether success has been theirs or not, Wheeler Hall and the ideals for which it stands, has undoubtedly been one of the helpful influences in their lives.

WOODS HALL Woods Hall is c1 combination of various facilities necessary to a small college. In the basement we find the gymnasium. The other half of the basement is given over to the craft work shop which furnishes Ct great share of the student employment and enables them to learn how to make various articles from copper and silver, as well CIS Christmas greens and other things. On the second floor are the Chemistry laboratory and the Biology labora- tory and lecture rooms which have been remodeled and expanded to meet the demands of increased enrollment. On this floor too, is to be found ct dark room fully equipped with photographic material. As CI part of the botany laboratory a green house has been built and maintained for resectch purposes. The third floor of Woods Hall is devoted to dormitory space for upper classmen. It is noticeable thctt most of the men staying here are athletes and all are sons of Allah. The government is in the hands of the fellows un- der the supervision of the Dean of Men. Between the Memorial HCIH men and the Woods Hall men, there has been the usual rivalry, especially noticeable at the beginning of the term. This is carried out in the spirit of fun and in CI Sportsman's wcty. Built in 1907 of white cement blocks, Woods Hall stands as ct monument to the memory of Mrs. Annie L. Woods, one of the noble women of Boston. The work carried on at Woods is in keeping with aims of its founder.
