Howers and the great Botanical Garden show the advance of comfort and convenience and educa- tional civilizationj' and as we turn towards the main building again we hear the strains of the new great organ-a gift to the chapel from five of those generous citizens who have always made the city of Columbus famous for its good works. There is still much to be done, for three thou- sand students are now on the campus: and the University is maintaining its old record of small divisions and thorough work. But the ten years have brought great growth, and we may well hope for a still brighter future. If this is a dream, it is a dream that is dreamed every day by at least one man who enters the campus early each morning and rarely leaves till all others have gone. I

seminar rooms for the Departments of American History and Civics, of Economics, and of English Language and Literature. In the south wing is the home of the College of Law, with every pos- sible facility for its work. This great building, with its collections, is the center of University life, and is the Mecca of every scholar in the state. Beyond, where the old Botanical building used to stand, is a new building, perfect in equipment and design, in which are housed the Departments of Botany and of Horticulture and Forestry. If it were not for the Library building we could see the outlines of the new Medical building, on the new driveway-the continuation of Hunter Avenue. To the east we see another fine entrance, and be- tween Professor Knight's residence and Biological Hall, the model homev of the Department of Domestic Economy-near the present site of Pro- fessor Thomas's house. Walking to the corner of Chemical Hall, we find the parade ground--graded, graveled and drained-with a large drill hall at the west end, ,near Lake McCracken: while the new gymnasium for young women stands on the site of the old barn back of the President's house. just north of Lake McCracken, and west of the present footpath, rises the Engineering Hall-a superb building, so well lighted as to give the appearance of nearly solid walls of glass, three stories high, and with every possible convenience for the work of the two great professions of the coming century-Engineering and Architecture. The Ceramics department has been transferred to the present Mechanical Hall, which has been thor- oughly remodeled, while the present Electrical Hall has been moved north and is a part of the new railway engine test plant. On the high ground south of the Observatory, as far removed as possible from disturbances, is Physics Hall: and on and down Eleventh Avenue are to be seen a large number of cottage-residences of the Fac- ulty. The ornamental roof of a grand stand accommodating two thousand people rises above the fences of the Athletic Park, now complete in every respect, thanks to the enthusiasm and gen- erosity of the great body of graduates. In every direction, walks and drives and lawns and beds of
