THE STATE COLLEGIAN
Beside these four lateral groups
ample provision is made at the lower
end of the campus between the main
entrance and the proposed raili oad
station and at about an equal distance
from the central group for a great
extension of the engineering build
ings, while as a balance at the upper
or hilltop end would be the• gym
nasium and other athletic buildings
centrally located with reference to
the athletic field.
A new site is indicated for the
railroad station at the southern
corner of the grounds where it may
be conveniently reached from both
the town and the college and yet not
be too obtrusive. A diagonal
driveway from the station to the
auditorium and the central group
provides direct communication. A
parkway approach from the town to
the station and a reservation of land
on the college side laid out in orna
mental grounds will give a good
first impression to visitors; while the
three vistas of different parts of the
college through the avenues which
converge to the circle in front of the
station will suggest the importance
of the institution.
At and near the top of the ridge
the outlooks are fine in almost every
direction, and much thought has
been given to an arrangement which
will permit the best of them to be
retained Thus the buildings in this
vicinity have been grouped in or
near the wood lots with ample space
between the units. This is the case
with the athletic field where all
structures are located to give clear
outlooks in both directions.
For these extensive groups of
buildings a carefully designed sys
tem of driveways and paths ro sup
pl) convenient and pleasant com
munication has been provided, while
such existing ones as are permanent
ly improved can fortunately be re
tained. They have been designed
in such a manner as to tie the out
lying groups with the central group;
and to supply an outlying or boun
dary drive passing through or be
side the six outlying groups, uniting
each to the other and forming a
complete circuit of the college.
Thus a stranger arriving at the rail
road station can be shown the long
line of engineering buildings close at
hand. He can then be conducted
t.p the hill through the frate nity
colony and the dormitory group
with the hospital at the end of the
vista, and always in sight, and a
fine outlook to the left over the
fields and meadows to distant
mountains. Turning to the right
and passing through the woods laid
out in a parklike way he will soon
have in full view the athletic field
with its many interesting features
and, being on the crest of the ridge,
a birds eye view of the college
buildings below, and a wide outlook
of the mountains in either direction;
thence past the gymnasium, swim
ming pool, and cage, the latter re
flected in the water of the pool, and
on through the other wooded park
and out into the broad crescent
forming the agriculture-horticulture
group. Here a wide loop has been
especially planned to display to best
advantage the broad sweep of
mountain views, the finest on the
college domain. From this vantage
point the road leads down the hill
past the Chemistry building, Mc-
Allister hall, and the professors'
colony to the president's house.
From thence turning again sharply
to the right by way of the old ap
pro3ch drive past the Main building,
the Armory, the Auditorium, and
concluding as a fitting climax with
the central quadrangle, than which
there should be none finer in the
country if a uniform architectural
style is maintained in all future build
ings.
Lafayette has the largest fresh
man class on record at that college,
about one hundred and fifty men
being enrolled in the class.
