28 At a special ceremony included in the Homecoming program in I924, 01d grads, choked with emotion, recalled incidents which had happened in The Ram Pasture and The Bull Pen, once hallowed shrines within Old Main, first building on the University campus and marcn of the pilgrimages of thousands of returning alumni. The reason: top stories of the crumbling building had been removed to make temporary use possible for unether year. Today, more than twenty years later, Old Main is still being temporarily occupied. Tied together with steel rods and buttressed with timbers and reinforcements, the venerable red brick walls continue to crumble, floors to bulge, ceilings to sag. Condemned by architects and flu;- marshnls. Thc proud mother of the University is no longer safe for occupancy or as a repository for valuable records. President. business manager, registrar, and other administrative officers and assistants sit in drafty oHices, resigncdly move desks and equipment to avoid water dripping through the roof, and long for the day when a more liberal legislature will appropriate money for a building program which would include, in addition to the new science building already ap proved, a new administration building such as the one shown here in tho architect's drawing. But the passing of Old Main will still be mourned by old timers, who think of it fondly as the first landmark of higher education to stand in academic dignity above the prairies of what was then anom Territory. l l e
