Valparaiso University Director Principals Department Located in the beautiful St. Croix Valley, easily accessible from the towns and cities of western Wisconsin, the school is ideally situated to carry on the work of furnishing teachers for this section of our state. There is not another school in the state that is better equipped to carry on its strong and influential program than is River Falls. The school plant has been enlarged necessarily from time to time to keep pace with the growth and the development of the school. When the school opened its first session in 1875 there was but one building. This original building was destroyed by fire in 1898 and was replaced by the fine building known today as South Hall, which is surrounded by a spacious and beautiful ten acre campus. This building houses the liberal arts and general academic departments of the school. The capacious south wing of this building is occupied by the library. Tills is not only one of the most attractive departments of the institution but it is one of the largest and most complete libraries in the state. There arc over 16,000 bound volumes of the best in literature on various subjects. Vavnk La Duke M. S. University of Wisconsin Education Margaret Chapman Kim: A. M.
