A mass of green surrounding impressive brick buildings and dotted here and there by bril- liantly colored flower beds, makes the Agricultural College Campus a spot of unusual beauty. Along the walks, tall, stately trees arch the way, while trimmed hedges serve as lines of demarcation at corners and intersections. The buildings themselves are picturesquely sit- uated on the hill tops overlook- ing the industrial and residence sections of the cities. Vast stretches of velvety green, bro- ken by shrubbery and dazzlingly white tennis courts at uniform intervals, make an unforgettable picture — a picture that inspires the best, demands the most, and calls for ivork well done. iTmniTirrinnniinni»|-i

Graceful proportions and pic- turesque surroundings make the Dentistry Building one of the most attractive structures on the campus. The tall, wide windows suggest large, well- lighted workrooms within. Buzzing drills, leather chairs, tiny instruments, and minute particles of various compounds lend an atmosphere of extreme professionalism to the labora- tories. In the basement, the underclassmen adroitly juggle plaster casts and perform fun- damental operations while above, the more experienced serve the public. The long lines of waiting patients attest to the excellence of work well done — of service meritoriously rendered, and of skill which reflects high scholarship, good instruction, and modern equip- ment.

Someivhat back from, the street, behind tall, gnarled trees, is the College of Pharmacy, a home-like looking structure flanked on one side by the small but well-equipped con- servatory. Within, students learn successfully to compound medical remedies and to be versed efficiently in the compo- sition of scientific pharmacol- ogy. Housed in the same build- ing, the botanists study the structures of plant life, and ex- periment on pollenization. Un- der the glass roof of the con- servatory a variety of flowers and special plants are culti- vated for experimental pur- poses. The tvide, well-kept laivn, the gracefully ivinding ivalk, the glass roofed conserva- tory tvhich reflects the warm sunshine, combine to induce affection and sincere apprecia- tion.
