Why, he mused, pointing to a buttressed wall and an oddly crenellated arch, why can not a college be built like this that would rival Leland,Stanford in interest and be just as true to its 1.,f-filifyvf ' For four years he worked quietly upon his plan, visiting in his spare time various lndian pueblos in New Mexico, photographing here, sketching a bit there. Taos, in the northern part of the state-now a mecca for western artists-proved especially pro- duetivc of ideas, for here the houses, from two to five stories in height, were clustered into roughly rectangular blocks, often forming one immense communal structure, This was what Dr. Tight desired-a great communal house built about a court. The outside wall should be the highest, and unadorned except for an occasional parapet or wind- hreak, and the flat roofs should be placcdhat successively lower levels so that they would give the appearance of irregular terraces rising from the court. Here and there porches and vestibules should serve a three-fold purposeg shelter from storm, protection from the sun, and to him who can appreciate what is more than merely practical, a pleasing relief to the eye in line and light and shade. All lines should be simple and straight, but frequently broken, all spaces should be broad and flat and likewise broken so as to give that splendid contrast of deep velvet shadow and vivid golden light peculiar to eloudless lands. All entrances should be lintelled, tor tho curve is unknown to the true Pueblo architect, all beams and pillars should bo of unhewn timber, for each feature of Indian house-building is its honest self. 1 With these ideas in mind, the president and Mr. E. B. Cristy, his architect, drew up the plans for the Pueblo University. Around a huge rectangle was gradually to be built the communal college. The Administration and the Departmental buildings and the Audi- 1 torium were to present a brave front at one end of the rectangle, the dormitories and dining hall. the library and the gymnasium at the other. Whatever smaller buildings were needed, sueh as a power inouse or a carpenter shop, eould he pieturesquely placed outside the rec- tangle. The court within was to be planted with trees and shrubs, and further ornamented with fountains and benches and sun-dials the gitts of departing classes, y The Hrst building ot this plan to be cpeoted Wild llll' l'0Wer house earlv in 1906. It attracted but little attention. tor it was small and simple. N 117454 , Sigma Chi House 8 t l il 's ti I I Us S' -...- . il l 5 tl s P i 2 S t r l l i r H A i I l ll W i. t 5 ft it ji i ,. t L

Y 4 i , V Y Rodey Hall and, after all, only a power house. But when, in 1907, two small dormitories were built, a storm of criticism burst, and raged about these two buildings in a fury that not even the Southwestern elements themselves could produce. Self-appointed critics wrangled, made merry, and waxed bitter, as people always do at an innovation. But travellers and artists came, looked and approved ...... And Dr. Tight went on building. In 1908, the old Administration hall was remodeled, and in 1909, was completed the Assembly hall, the last of the Pueblo buildings to be erected, for in that year came a change of administration, followed not long after by the death of the man who had conceived the plan ot the Pueblo University. In all, six Pueblo buildings stand upon the University campus, the power house, the two dormitories, the Administration hall, the Assembly hall, and the Kiva, a small council chamber built by one of the fraternities. Dr. Tight's home, now il fraternity house, was placed just outside the campus. Unlike their Indian prototypes, which are built mostly of adobe, the college buildings are constructed of brick and coated with cement. All show unity of design and yet each is different. All but the power house and the Kiva form a part of the originally planned communal structure, and though the whole would have made the greater picture, yet each part, with its approaches of cottonwood and tamarack trees, and its background of mesa sand, distant mountains, and .vivid Southwestern sky, is a picture in itself. Of the two dormitories, the men 's is the more picturesque, for it forms a corner of the imaginary rectangle and thus presents more contrast in light and shade. It is known as Kwataka, which means man-eagle. Its name is traced in rough.-cast over the entrance, and its symbol is pa.inted in the original Indian colors upon an outer wall. Over the entrance to the women 's building is the word Hokona'f-''butterfly-maiden''-and a highly conventionalized butterfly motif forms its symbol. The parlors of Hokona are V - '- decorated with true Indian designs that represent the creation of 1 1 7, ,V 'WW yr lil K, 4 li... li..1., I, at 4 ,'. 1 ' 4. ., U - Q the sun, the moon, the stars, the rain-cloud, the lightning, and the ' -- ,f rainbow, and, lastly, of the butterfly-maiden and the great man- W nw eagle.
