Page Fn;;r College Construction History Started With $50,000 Old Main lit 1858 60 New Buildings Added To Campus In 80 Years Throe years after the* charter'of the College was granted, or rather the charter for the Farmers’ High School, Old Main whs constructed. That was in 18158. Since that time the number of buildings has grown to 60 units. Old Main was built with an appropriation of $50,000 from the Common wealth ami gifts of many individuals. The old Botany building, now known as the Zoological Laboratory, is the. oldest existing academic building on the campus, having been constructed in 1887. During the time of the Civil War, the gardens in front were first started. Under the administration of Dr. James Caldcr, the old Stone house, now occupied by Kappa Alpha Theta, was completed in 1880. At'that time the total enrollment of the College was 152 students, <1" of whom wore women Building Done in Spurts New construction on the campus has usually been in spurts, the first real one coming between 1887 and 3800 when five buildings were com pleted. First was the Botany unit, then in the next year, 1888, the Agri culture Experiment station and the Armory. Following these were the Chemistry and Physics structure in 1889 and in the same year the Wom en's building. Preceding the second spurt was the construction of the old Engineering building in 1891-92, which was later destroyed by fire, and the Calorime ter building completed in 1899. Between 1902 and 1909, 11 build ings were completed, the best known being the Chemistry Annex, or “Bull Pen," which was destroyed by fire December 20, 1087. The others were: Schwab auditorium in 1902; . Dairy Husbandry in 1008; Carnegip Library in 1904; Old Track house in the same year; McAllister Hall, which was a men’s dormitory, in 1905; Old Mining building in 1006; and in the same year the Main Agricultural Building. Receive 207 Acres of Land During, this construction, the Col lege was the recipient of 207 acres of ground, 10 from Etters farm and 197 from • Christ’s farm. This made a grand total of 407 acres, the original 200 the gift of Gen. James Irvin. Completing the group of nine buildings was the Forestry unit, En gineering Unit F, and an annex to the Women’s Building, constructed in Freshman Candidates To Meet Monday Night Freshman editorial candidates for the Collegian staff will meet in Room 418 Old Main, Monday night .it 7 o'clock, Woodrow W.

Linoleum Floors Throughout . There will be.no waiting around for painters to vacate fhe building. The College really, is going modern on this project and will have pre-colored Penn Crete plaster on the walls. Linoleum floors throughout the dormitory will hot only look like the veal stuff, but will it be easier to sweep! Thre shades of Jaspe linoleum will jibe' with the color schemes of the rooms. A one and a half inch plain border will surround each floor, a fea ture strip of contrasting color will fol low, and then the carpet-like Jaspe will complete the picture of what the floor of the modern dorm should be.' No more steel cots and not so soft mattresses! The 1941 co-ed will look around at maple furniture, a light shade in the plqm rooms and a dark shade in the others, and will sleep on Simmons’ mattresses.
