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.

Cornell University, Located at Ith ' aca. ;V. Y.. was Founded in iS6). It is Indebted Largely to Ezra Cornell for Its Existence. The Ag arch, joining the two agricultural buildings, the old and the new, is impressive in that it symbolizes the connections of the old and the new in agricultural training. The days when training for farm work was believed to be gained only by work behind a plow are past — schools like the College of Agriculture at the University of Missouri are responsible for the advance- ment of new and scientific methods of farming in every phase. The College of Agriculture at Missouri is one of the best in the nation. The resplendent foliage of the east campus in the spring and fall is hard pressed to maintain its supremacy of beauty - for when the whiten- ing cloud descends and places on everything its winter robe — new beauties of nature greet the eye— and it is difficult to decide which is the favored season of Mother Nature.
