She is a woman, therefore may be wooed... Wartbur Hall For the women. Wart- burg Hall was Viome for the better part of the year. Perhaps it wasn ' t quite so cozy as the farm in North Dakota, or the apartment in the Illinois city, but it fulfilled its purpose. Many of the friendships made here ma y well last long beyond the college days. Then, of course, there ' s the Den downstairs for those daily coffee hours, quick lunches and friendly sessions around the juke box. There, too, is the post office, strongest link with home, with its mail boxes that will never open when they are full. 6

Knights Gymnasium The Knights Gymnasium ivill long remain the pride and joy of Warthurg, even while other cam- pus buildings go up. The largest gym in the Iowa conference, it was the scene of many of Warthurg s most thrilling basketball games and wrestling matches. Perhaps, during the winter, it was painful at times to walk over to gym class with the north wind blowing off the football practice field and drifting the sidewalks shut. But physical educa- tion was almost fun on the wide and brightly lighted playing floor. It was here, too, that the newcomer sat inspired by some of the world ' s finest talent during the Artist Series presenta- tions: Rise Stevens, Carl Sandburg, Minneapolis Symphony — names to be remembered. 5

Grossmann Hall Main mens dormitory, Grossmann Hall, be- came a residence de luxe after it was remodeled two years ago. Even though the freshman may not have lived on the ultra-modern third floor, he had a bright and cheerful room. ' The Gaunt- let, basement recreation room, is the show- place of the dorm, since it was built by the men themselves. So is the lounge, with its comfortable furniture and large-size mural of the Midwest on the south wall. Grossmann, too, was the home of the champs — third f.oor took the football and basketball intramural crowns, and was a threat for softball. Grossmannites are a proud lot, and lucky the ' greeny ' who can be- come part of the clan. 7
