Millard ' s Crossing Millard ' s Crossing is a collection of eight of the oldest homes in Nacogdoches, recon- ditioned and furnished with antiques. The Millard-Lee House was built about 1837 by Nacogdoches merchant-deputy post- master-road overseer Robert F. Millard as a family home that was sometimes used as a boardinghouse. In 1859, David Lee, a black- smith-merchant-county official, bought the house which was then located near the public square in Nacogdoches. It remained there until 1960 as the Lee family home. In 1970, Mrs. Albert (Lera Millard) Thomas bought, moved and restored the house at Millard Crossing. It was named for the builder s fami- lies. Other historical points of interest include an old buggy that dates back 100 years; an old log fence reflects 19th century East Texas and an old bell which stands next to the Millard- Lee House.

Griffith Fine Arts Building Art and theater classes are held all over campus but the L.E. Griffith Jr. Fine Arts Building is home for these areas. This building contains the talented world of the theater and the creative works of art stu- dents. The Fine Arts Building has two theaters in which activities are held. The Little Theater is the sight for smaller activities such as movies. The William M. Turner Fine Arts Auditorium is where larger pro- ductions such as musicals are held. Some of the productions performed in 1980 include Guys and Dolls and Ondine. The Fine Arts Building is also home for art students. Here they create pictures and sculptures with the use of paints, clay and imagination. These works of art are often displayed in the building. The Fine Arts Building offers an escape from the reality of classes into the magical world of theater and art. It provides stu- dents with a place for entertainment, en- joyment and relaxation.

A campus for all seasons The SFA campus has been called one of the most beautiful college campuses in the United States. With each season comes a new display of nature s color. Fall brings rich autumn colors to campus as huge old trees all over campus lose their brightly colored leaves along sidewalks and paths. Spring brings the campus to full color with dogwood and azalea blossoms. These fragrant blossoms give SFA its most pic- turesque setting. During every season the pine trees stand tall and green, giving the campus an unusual beauty all year long. This beauty has drawn students as well as visitors to the university among the pines.
