Little Niagara Little Niagara, the falls shown in the foreground of the accompanying picture, is a favorite haunt of the students in the Spring and Summer. Many improvements have been made in this vicinity in the last few years, including a new bridge across the creek and a birdie path that leads up over the bluff, which is seen in the background. Little Niagara is the most notable, historically, of places on or near the campus. In the early years of the nineteenth century, the creek of which the falls are the terminus, was made a part of the boundary line between the Chippewa and Sioux hunting grounds; that is, a line following the creek and extending northwest from the falls was made the boundary. This line was fixed at a peace conference held at Fort Prairie du Chicn. The resulting treaty was signed by Sioux and Chippewa chieftains, and United States army officers then stationed at the fort. There is also a well-authenticated story to the effect that a certain Lieutenant Davis, then at Fort Prairie du Chien, came with a detachment of soldiers up the Mississippi and the Chippewa to Little Niagara Creek to cut timber, in what is now Putnam Park, for the fort. Lieutenant Davis, the young army officer, years later became President Jefferson C. Davis of the Confederate States of America. Driveway and Building This is an unusual view of the Garfield Avenue drive and east entrance to the building. In the background, the smoke-stack of the college heating plant may be seen. There is a most interesting tunnel connecting the furnace room with the building proper. Some of the trees in this picture were planted by graduating classes. Campus Lawn The campus was literally a blaze of glory when school opened last Fall. Beds of autumn blooming flowers lined the walks, reds and blues predominating. This view shows the front campus, which overlooks the entrance to beautiful Putnam Drive, and the Chippewa River. Some of the trees shown in the picture were planted by classes of bygone years.
