S759 H If Q fflii I 1924 ZX4 7l7lfAg7l74?fi?.1A7A7i7 411717 pi QQ yi l i Elie igrrzent Gbherlm ' 'jjl HILE we are in College, how much does the Oberlin Campus px , W1-Q mean to us? Is it merely a spaceito be covered in quest of a RQ committee meeting, class or a Reserve book? . M p ' S day her h retired to our. himney corners W y, ome . w 1 we ave c . 35, -52,-g,'g ,T ' and folded our withered hands, the picture will rise out of the . ,Is ,. fir, ' ' embers before us and we will realize for the first time perhaps, ig Filillff' l the real beauty of our college campus. . l i Over there in the corner is the First Church, proclaiming K its Neiw England origin. It was built wayx back in the '40 s and W was the largest building this side of the Alleghenies. The px walls have resounded with heated discussions on the abolition of slavery and si other vital issues of former days. Next door is Councill-Iall. President Fairchild called it an elegant and' Q commodious building but our modern architect considers it a mediaeval relic. N Mr. Gilbert has doomed French Hall too. Dear old ramshackle building. W Every time a corpulent student mounts those curving stairways the very foundations shake with old age. Spear Laboratory is also to be moved from in our College green according to the new plan. Nothing is to be left but our N Memorial Arch and the swaying elms. Who can ever forget Peter's Hall with the gallery gods peering down contemplatively on the restless sea of babbling humanity belowg Peter's with the old familiar fire place and the time worn stairway where the irresistible force daily meets the immovable object, and countless feet are wounded in the encounter? Who can ever forget the tall and ancient newspaper rack with the customary row of heads bowed in veneration before the Cleveland Plain Dealer? On the corner stands Warner--a turreted castle with all of its occupants rendering one triumphal disc-ordq A coloratura soprano attacks the same trill over and over again while a violin, two Hoors below, raises a protesting wail as if to afford a little competition. V just oii' the main Campus Square is Sturges, famous for General Ex, ama- teur Dramatics, and Literary Societies, an ordinary vine covered, turreted brick b'uildi,ng that will eventually disappear from the campus but never from our memories. ' ' The Art Building reposes in dignified grandeur on the other side of the Campus. The architecture is Romanesque in accordance with the plan for the Greater Oberlin. Proms and Receptions are held here. lt is rumored that Venums de Milo expects to see many styles of evening dresses before she moves to another home. After all, the Chapel is the one building on our Campus which symbolizes Oberlin College. From this building stream the graduates of Oberlin College on their Commencement Day with the vision they have caught from four years of noontide services within its walls. The Future Oberlin has plans for many beautiful buildings. Perhaps in fifty years we may hardly recognize our campus. But just as our parents can never forget the good old davs of Tappan I-lall and the old chapel so we will always remember Our Oberlin Campus as the scenes of the happiest days in our lives. gg jg j Tlzlilfzrxzixrnnrv Ungar QQK5 U71 Q , j ' M 'Y M W Q 1717
