x5 1 l ff-1, Turning around in a clockwise direction in the same position, the visitor's glance takes in Agricultural Hall, Smith Hall, a portion of the Home Economics Building, and University Hall, one of the oldest buildings on the campus. Offices of head of the School of Agriculture and most of that school's departments are housed in Ag Hall. However, some classes and laboratory work are conducted in the building. Smith Hall, home of the dairy department, contains the Purdue Creamery, laboratories, classrooms and offices. On the southwest tip of the campus stands the Home Economics Building, completed in l923. In it are special laboratories including a model cafeteria managed by students in home economics. University Hall, venerable home of the English Department and the division of speech, stands squar-ely on the axis of the oval. Its steps are worn and hollowed from countless student footsteps.

x I Leaving the power plant and driving south, the tourist sees to his left the Chemistry Building erected in i929 and containing four stories ot well-equipped laboratories for study and research. Directly east of the Chemistry Building is historic l-leavilon l-lall towering over all other campus structures. On the night before its dedication it burned to the ground, but it was rebuilt in i895 one brick higher to symbolize Boilermaker determination. Beneath and guarded by its tradition-steeped bell tower, the Chemical Engineering School now conducts classes and laboratories, East ot l-leavilon l-lall is the Civil Engineering Building containing rooms for drawing, recitation, and research. To the rear of the structure in the newer section is located the busting lab where all construction materials are tested.
