Ivy covered, well-propor- tioned, picturesque Sh ev li n Hall, situated between the li- brary and the college of law, long has been the home of Uni- versity women. The well-ap- pointed meeting rooms, artistic- ally furnished in rich, dark- stained woods and heavy dra- peries, house innumerable times the various groups on the cam- pus in gatherings both social and business. W itliin the brick ivalls, linked unalterably with the outside, are the nuclear offices of the women ' s organi- zations — organizations which stretch out to the neivcomers an ever helping hand, ready and eager to assist in finding the way, and proffering gener- ously and unflinchingly a serv- ice immeasurable, all-compass- ing, supreme.

Tall, graceful, while pillars, arranged in an impressive col- onnade, comprise the artistic entrance into a world of chemical substances — splendidly equipped laboratories wherein students delve into the secrets of the ancient alchemists and combine with them the appli- ances of modern science. Clear test tubes, vari-colored liquids, flickering bunsen burners with bluish-yellow flames make pic- turesque the workshop of the chemists. Behind the long, low desks, leather-aproned students discover and formulate for themselves the intricacies of a science but recently understood. Powerful reagents are combined with acids and metals and salts; ions, enzymes, and molecules all perform their varying func- tions to the end that industry and humanity materially may be benefited.

A spacious, business-like struc- ture of brick and stone, em- bodying an atmosphere of pro- fessionalism and good fellow- ship, the Engineering Building is the principal unit of Minne- sota ' s fast growing technolog- ical group. In a ivorld of mathematics, transits, mechan- ics, and architectural produc- tions, the engineers liave made an enviable reputation in cam- pus affairs, in cosmopolitanism, and in scientific skill. Hum- ming dynamos, forges, intri- cate meclianical apparatus, and designs of modern structures daily demand the attention of those who some day tvill build — build for us and for those who will follow, coupling with their achievements the dreams of youth, the practicality of science, and the beauty of con- summate art and appreciation.
