Averill, is, in the narrower sense, not so directly bound up with the activity and work of the college, being a gift to the people of the city as well as to the university. But its location on college property is of undoubt- edly great advantage, for besides being an ornament to the Campus and by its very character adding to the prestige of the university, it will serve to more closely connect the people of Rochester and the University of Rochester. As long as the institution aims to serve the community, and is dependent upon it, the greater unity of interests between the two, such as this can help bring about, is to be sought. ' Another recent event, though of minor importance when com- pared with those mentioned above, still shows the tendency for a more full and complete development of the Campus. This was the erection of an ornamental gateway at the Prince street entrance to the university grounds, the gift of the classes of 1892 and 1902. Kendrick Hall and the Art Gallery bring the total number of college buildings up to eight. Of these the oldest, Anderson Hall, was nrst occupied in 1861, after the university had existed for ten years in the old United States Hotel building, which is still stand- ing on West Main street. Now, as the location of the administrative offices, chapel, and most of the lecture rooms aside from those used in the science courses, Anderson Hall is the center of all university activity, the main building about which all else revolves. The second building to be erected was Sibley Hall, in 1874, and it now accommodates the library and also the geological museum and laboratories, The Reynolds Memorial Laboratory, devoted to the study of chemistry, was built in 1886. The athletic activities of the men are provided for by the Alumni Gymnasium, which was opened for use in 1900. The Eastman Laboratories afford facilities for the study of physics and biology, the building having been erected in the years 1904 to 1906. The last building to be opened up before Kendrick Hall was the Carnegie Building, which was built for the department of applied science, occupied since 1911. These facts may help to indicate what an accelerated growth the University of Rochester has had since 1900, when Dr. Rush Rhees became its president. Under his administration half of the buildings, now on the Campus have been erected, and the number of the faculty increased from fifteen to thirty-nine, with proportionate increases in the number of students. The latest achievement in so materially increasing the productive resources gives assurance that the university has a period of even greater service and usefulness before it. T' C 17 L vt ' Qi ..

Three-fifths of this amount . 1 3 had already been pledged, upon the condition that the balance be raised before the expiration of the year. Alumni and friends who 5:-N.. A+- J .lil - 9.11. 1-.X . n , , , .V '-iii' h ,..,. J, V had not already subscribed now came forward and responded generously. By the time of the 1912 Commencement the total pledged was within one hundred thousand dollars of the original million mark. The amount previously fixed upon as the goal was then raised by one hundred thousand dollars more, to cover the cost of the proposed academic building, not included in the Hrst total. Wfhen the linal time limit for the securing of the million was reached at the end of the year that much was certain, and also more than half of the additional sum. Further, a site for the women's academic building has been provided by the gift to the university of the property at the corner of Prince Street and University avenue, diagonally across from the Campus. The success which has attended this project has been so com- plete that the significance of it has perhaps not been fully realized by all the alumni, undergraduates, and friends of Rochester. This enterprise can well be classed as the greatest ever undertaken by the university since its establishment. A comparison of figures can show to some degree its real significance. The productive endow- ment has been increased from S945,000 to 31,945,000 This increase makes possible, first of all, the proper rewarding of the men who Qi.':,.' 1 , iff . jx . fm Quill' ..yt:,am.- 5- 1 ,.4.1xa.- ,V ,W f1.mf':ti P.

This is really of greatest consequence, for the college is made, not by its grounds and buildings, but by the strong men who are its faculty. l, To them first consideration and provision is fittingly due. The other R.,.ft,,lf' phase of this enterprise, which is possibly of wider general interest, the creation of the co-ordinate college for women, will meet the need which has been growing gradually more apparent since women were first admitted upon a co-educational basis in 1900. The suc- cess of the entire undertaking, brought about under the thorough fijlt and conscientious guidance of Dr. Rhees, makes possible the more perfect discharge of the obligations of the university to all its stu- dents and to the community. Coming almost co-incident with the beginning of this move- qll ment to double the productive endowment were the announcements about the two new buildings. The completion of the first section of the proposed dormitory system marks a step towards broadening il, the field from which Rochester can draw men as students, in pro- viding accommodations for them. It is expected that Kendrick Hall will not only lead to a greater number of out-of-town students lt' in this way, but may also add to the spirit and life of the college. 1,1 The other new building, the Art Gallery erected by Mrs. James .l -i f -.. . . m ....., , ,,,. f:iLEI5lTF....'913.-l'1..'-Q
