...This our lite exempt from public haunt... Luther Hall Perhaps the first building with which the incoming freshman became familiar, Luther Hall, will always remain the 2 N ' educational building on j ff i • campus. Here, behind i f nV those wide windows, the I i 0ir novice received his first introduction into the his- tory of the Merovingians, the subtleties of syn- tax or the secrets of the anatomy of frogs and grasshoppers. It was here, too, in the library, that the frosh collected his first data for the semester term paper. Among the much-used volumes in the reading room he found the first stepping stones to his future career. And it was here, too, in the upstairs treas- urer s office, that he managed finally to pay his bills. 4

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
