Classes opened the first of Qctober in various buildings, among which were the Parinly Billings Library and the present Y. M. C. A. chapel. The Octagon on Sixth Avenue served for dining hall and dormitory. Other residences housed the students that this building did not accommodate. In this manner school went on until the lat- ter part of January. The twenty-sixth of this month became the traditional Mov- ing Day, which has since been annually celebrated by the Candlelight Banquet. At this time Science Hall and the four cottages known as A, B, C, and D Dorinitories were ready for occupancy, and this was the date when the school first occupied the present campus and began to truly blaze its way into the annals of Education. Science Hall was now the administrative and main class building. A Dormitory hous- ed forty girlsg B took care of the boys, while the other two became faculty homes and dining hall. The first wing of the shop was built almost at once. In 1913 Kimball Hall was completed and oc- cupied. In 1915 Prescott Commons became the official dining hall.
