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.

With the coming of peace and the veterans, the greatest enrollment in the history of the Uni- versity called for space and more space. This space was temporarily provided with small build- ings A, B, C, D, E, etc., symbols of hope for more sufficient buildings for a greater Carolina. GIBBES GREEN . . . McKISSICK LIBRARY .
