, I ,,,,,.,,.,1.,,..,..,,-,,,- 11 -Ti - -W V Driving onto the Ag campus after crossing State Street, the visitor finds himself sur- rounded by a maze of buildings whose construction indicate their connection with agri- culture. After circling through the campus and heading again toward State Street, the visitor looks back and sees the rear view of the brick judging Pavilion where judging classes are con- ducted by the Animal Husbandry Department. Adjacent barns house livestock used in these classes. The barn in the foreground contains horses and is the place where draft horses ar-e bred. Maternity beef cows and calves, the best of which are taken to the International Live- stock Show in Chicago each year, are kept in the barn showing in the background. - W., rx V 1- .X 'il Q- ., - :P-S ,:'Q' hu 1' ,X J ll ls xii! ik' xx., g r - . , I, I-w,,,,,.

There also are recreational rooms for lovers of music, reading, bowling, cards, and billiards. The huge ballroom on the west rear wing is the scene of every official University dance. The building constantly expands as student activities grow. Last year, additions were made to the ballroom and also to the east wing. The two huge stones which flank the main entrance were intended to be carved into figures symbolic of the World War Memorial for which the whole building stands, but students liked the appearance of the rough-hewn rocks and so they have remained-uncut, but impressive.
