At the head of the Horseshoe is the beautiful McKissick Memorial Library, one of the newest permanent buildings of the campus. Dividing the old campus from the new is what remains of a former meeting place of between- class dates and politicians. Peeking through the shrubbery to the new campus we see an expanse of Gibbes Green and to our right is the little gray Observatory with its conical-shaped top. Davis College, the beautiful rectangular build- ing to our right as we enter the new campus, is the home of the English and Modern Language De- partments. The Psychology and Philosophy De- partments adjourned this year to a temporary building nearby. Turning to the left and strolling away from the morning sun, we notice in the distance two im- pressive gray buildings. Sloan College, on the right, is the home of the Engineering School and the Math, Physics, and Astronomy Departments. LeCONTE . birds eye view home of the sciences

HOME . . . la u mmm anJL IA. Our campus, the most unchanging part of the University, still deserves the comment made by Historian Charles A. Beard that it is one of the three most beautiful University campuses in America. Whether visiting or living here no one escapes the quiet charm and historic atmosphere as they work, live, and tread beyond its hallowed walls. Upon entering the University grounds, the sym- metrical old campus lies before us. On our right still stands the Lieber home, erected 1836. The large tree standing before it is from a cutting borrowed from the tree over Homer ' s grave. Moving up the time-worn brick walks we come to Pinckney and LeGare Colleges, which are the oldest men ' s dormitories. Here the department of History and the Marshal ' s office reside also. The Political Science department recently moved to a permanent temporary building. Further up the horseshoe , the McKissick-Wauchope house, now occupied by two sororities, stands quietly next on our right. Rutledge College, the FLINN HALL ... the V . Mr. chapel and center of the old campus, moves up to meet us as we continue our stroll . Long since has a compulsory Chapel been abolished and in its stead is a sprightly Music department. Beyond Rutledge we notice ivy-covered Petigru, the home of legal sages and politicians. We notice the Omicron Delta Kappa circle, where Carolina stu- dents swap votes, politic and get the feel for future political battles. DAVIS FROM GREEN STREET opposite page.

Left of Sloan is LeConte which houses the Chemistry, Biology, and Geology Departments. Partially concealing LeConte and to the rear is the Naval Armory where many a dance is given beneath the bunting and flag-draped ceiling and where its walls have resounded to the commands of N. R. O. T. C. Battalion Commanders. Passing from LeConte College we stroll west towards the end of McKis- sick Library where the old comes back into view. The first on our right is the long gray structure, DeSaussure College, the oldest building on Carolina ' s cam- pus. Here is now the home of the Uni- versity Treasurer ' s office, Dean Derrick ' s headquarters for the School of Business Administration, and the Bridge of our Skipper. Fore and aft are tenaments eleven through fifteen, providing dormi- tory space for Carolina ' s men students. Journeying on we come to the alley- way and through this we catch a glimpse of Maxcy College which shelters Deans ' Row , the Bible Department, and another men ' s dormitory. In its basement is the Canteen, Depository, and Post Office. To the left of Maxcy are Coker, Thornwell, and McBride Col- leges, all of which are combinations of men ' s dormitories and fraternity houses. Crossing over the alleyway we see the McCutchen House, now the home of the Registrar and various classrooms. Next door we are faced with a long WALKWAY . . . snowed under . . . familiar to all law students. SLOAN . . h aven or engineers.
