flMUtnd the. feloch The Rochester Athenaeum, born in only one room and with only one course—that of industrial arts, later combined with the Mechanics Institute, founded for die purpose of giving to mechanics and artisans instruction in such branches as would benefit them in their everyday work, to form the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute. The Institute is today furthering the plans of prac- tical, far-seeing Rochestcrians, who were sensitive to the needs and future demands of industry on Rochester youth. The Eastman Building was opened in 1901 with a floor space, counting the basement and two floors, of two and one-third acres. It now includes laboratories and classrooms for eight departments, as well as a cafeteria which serves both students and Dormitory girls, and a library which contains 10,000 volumes and subscribes to 200 periodicals. The Bevier Memorial Building, the home of the School of Applied Art, was erected in 1910 through the generosity of Mrs. Henry Bevier as a memorial to her daughter. It is a three-story build- ing of tapestry brick and terra cotta, beautiful in the simplicity' of its design. On the main floor are the offices, the art library which contains more than one thousand volumes on art available for refer- ence and study, the living room which is spacious and inviting with a large open fireplace at one end, and the exhibition gallery which has an ingenious arrangement of movable screens used for the hang- ing of exhibitions. The Industrial Arts Building is occupied by ad- ditional shops, laboratories, and equipment The Machine Shop, with its modern equipment, is one of the best school machine shops in the United States, The industrial chemical laboratory in- cludes equipment for carrying on chemical manu- facturing processes. The photographic technology laboratories and studios are located in this build- ing. Additional studio and laboratory facilities are available for advanced students in the Photo- graphic Building. Home to out-of-town women students during the school year is the Women's Residence Hall or Dormitory. The present Dormitory, originally an apartment house, was built by George Forsyth in memory of Michael Jenkinson in 1889. Pur- chased by the Institute in 1917, it was used to quar- ter soldiers during the World War I. In 1919 it became the Dormitory. The Dorm girls arc look- ing forward to moving into a new residence next year—the Frontenac Apartments, The new build- ing will accommodate an increased number of students who will live in groups of twos and threes in modern apartments. Made possible through the generosity of George H. Clark, Clark Union is a center for student rec- reation and provides a place for organizations to meet. It is student self-government in action being financially supported and governed by the Student Council. Clark Union has this year completed its third year as a student center. The building has a historical background having been built over a century ago by Nathaniel Rochester. Traditionally, although unofficially, Rudner’s Drugstore has become a virtual campus for Insti- tute students. Sooner or later every student visits Rudner’s at least once. Students jam into Rudner’s at all times of the day, and it is possible to find RAMI students drinking cokes and playing the juke box at any time. More cokes are devoured in the course of a school year than one can reasonably imagine, and Hot Fudge Sundaes are a supreme favorite. 9
