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.

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

Amid tall, graceful trees, crowning the green hills of the agricultural campus, looms the Dining Hall — dusky, yellow, vine-covered — a traditional structure within whose walls guests are welcomed, banqueted, entertained. The low pillared portico with its well-propor- tioned doorway stands a silently significant invitation to friend and stranger alike. The gather- ings held from time to time, when congenial souls gather about the board, and under the subtle magic of contentment, talk eloquently and well, sym- bolize the atmosphere of the building, lift it somewhat above and beyond mere architecture, and grace it with a fascinating enchantment held high by those who knoiv its possibilities.
