THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING Undoubtedly the most magnificent and pretentious building on A. M.’s campus is the new Administration Building completed in the fall of 1933. The new building faces east toward the new entrance to the College. The various administrative branches of the College located in this building are: the College Print Shop in the basement; the Fiscal office and the Registrar’s office on the first floor; the offices of the President and his assistants on the second floor; and also those of Deans Brooks and Bolton. The Administration Building is situated on the top of a low hill over¬ looking the highway in front of it. Much work is being done to emphasize the natural beauty of the location, and by the summer of 1934, A. M. will have the most beautiful entrance of any college in Texas.

THE ACADEMIC BUILDING Prior to the erection of a newer building to accommodate growth this year, the old Main Building was the central figure in the campus layout. In spite of the fact that the newer structure tends to transfer activity to a different region of the campus, the Academic Building still is the hub of all college life. Situated so that it cannot be ignored by the visitor, this building sym¬ bolizes the sturdiness that characterized the founders of A. M. College. A statue of an ex-President, Lawrence Sullivan Ross, stands directly in front, while on each side, the building is flanked b the major buildings comprising the old campus nucleus. On the topmost height of the dome is the famous spotlight, known as Prexy’s Moon,” which is something more than just a light to the ex¬ student when he returns for a visit. It symbolizes that progress has been made, yet it also serves to form a connecting tie between his student days and today.

THE VETERINARY BUILDING The Veterinary Hospital is another one of the new buildings just com¬ pleted in 1933. The classroom work, practice and clinics are conducted in this building, which has rooms and other facilities for surgical and medi¬ cal treatment of live stock and poultry on the farm and ranch and of pet animals. There are wards for the isolation of small animals affected with transmissible skin diseases, parasitic diseases, and infectious diseases, and wards for diseased poultry used in the clinic and courses offered in diseases of the fowl. X-ray equipment for examination and treatment of both large and small animals is provided in a specially constructed room.
