366 86LWL,0LL5 ASTLY different from the lone Fairmount Institute building situated on a twenty acre tract is the modern University campus of eighty acres with eight main buildings and vari- ous minor structures. The Fairmount building was erected in 1887 and unoccupied until 1892 when it was opened as Fairmount Institute. Later, under the charter of Fairmount College, further additions were made to the campus. When the school became the Municipal University of Wichita in 1926 there were four main buildings: Fiske Hall. men's dormitoryg Morrison library. now the art buildingg Henrion gymg and the college building itself. Fairmount Hall was destroyed by fire in 1929. Several buildings have been added since municipal affiliation. Science Building was constructed in 1928, the Commons Building in 1936 and the Administration Building in 1930. Newest buildings on the campus are the Aeronautics Building, and the new Morrison Library. Construction of Veterans Field, now underway, and plans for a new music building, will enlarge campus facilities and increase total evaluation to two and one-half million dollars.
