Campus Buildings Constructed of Native Stone Tlie University of Wyoming campus com- prises nearly 160 acres and has a commanding view of the mountains rising to a])j:)roximate- ly 12,000 feet. The carefully planned campus has la vns, grounds and gardens planted with evergreen and other trees, some over 50 years old. The University presents a pleasing aspect with many new and modern buildings, con- structed of native stone, quarried a few miles from the campus. The area south of Old Main has been set aside as a park and is laden with memories and traditions of the University. Old Main houses the administrative offices of the Uni- versity and was the first building to be com- pleted on campus in 1887. Old Main was ex- tensively remodeled in 1949. Ever since the Wyoming Union opened in 1939, it has been a headquarters and meeting place ol the campus.
