Student Life at Pennsylvania. It is needless to trace the development of the university through the years that followed its birth. By constantly gathering strength and enlarging its range of instruction, Pennsylvania stands to-day one of the strongest and most famous schools in our land. Space allows but for the merest mention of the history of the several departments which make up the university. First,—because of its age and of its position as the real heart of the whole body, stands the College, consisting of the courses in Finance, Economy, Architecture, the Arts, Chem istry, Biology, and Music. Quite as important is the Medical school, probably the most famous of all the departments. This was founded as early as 1751 and its entire life has been a most healthy one, as is readily illustrated by its 13,000 graduates and the name it bears over the entire world.

On our left, as we enter the eastern gate we see the massive Library building, and, were we to pass into its well arranged and pleasant interior, we would catch a glimpse of its 200,000 volumes. Looking back, as we stand at its entrance we see
