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.

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.

On one corner of the campus, half concealed by overhanging boughs and heavy vines, the Law College is one of the most beautiful of all campus build- ings. The wide arched door- way bidding a welcome to all who stand without, opens into a realm of legal domain. Musty, yellow-backed books line the shelves of the libraries, and classrooms daily resound to the pleas of students defending imaginary clients before imagi- nary judges and juries. The students who today read the thick, uninteresting volumes some day will be leaders in their profession — leaders in a work which, rightly directed, can he of immeasurable benefit to humanity.
