' 1 idanc I nu ' ir ily. One of the Great Educational Institutions of the South, was First Founded as the University of Louisiana, in iS.i-S- quiet sky, its dome piercing far into the heavens, it presents an auspicious appearance. Its huge bulk overshadows the buildings about it, and one feels that it is righteously named — the administration building. In it are a num- ber of classrooms, the University Auditorium, andofficesof the administrators. The south steps of Jesse Hall have become a rendezvous for students to pass the time between classes and to bask in the sun. It is a meeting place for lovers and idlers— if there be any of the latter present in the University. Along the way leading from the west to the east campus, is the David R. Francis Memorial. This was erected in honor of the Governor who did so much to aid in rebuilding the University of Missouri after its disastrous fire in 1892.

The University of Illinois. One of the Great Institutions of the Middle West, was Founded in iStj, at Urhana, Illinois. A panoramic view of the east campus from the steps of the Memorial Tower discloses gleaming buildings of white stone, of Gothic design. Most of these buildings are used for the study of agricultural courses, and the mate- rials available have greatly aided an excellent curriculum of study for agricul- tural pursuits. On the east campus are two agricultural buildings, W ' hitten Hall, a physics building, a chemistry building, Lefevre Hall, and Schweitzer Hall. The laboratories in these buildings contain the best available equip- ment to aid students in their observation work. A verdant lawn extends nearly the length of the west campus, and oft- times on this are formed the Ag paddling lines, for the Ag students are guardians of the west campus and strictly enforce disciplinary measures resarding walking on the grass.
