PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

First, take a general view OF the
institutions physical environ
ment. Located on a "bench" or
foothill Of the Wasatch range
overlooking the city Of Logan and
the whole Of Cache Valley, the
view is inspiring beyond words,
and such an one as is not the por-
ton Of any other educational in
stitution in the United States. 10
the east and but one and half
miles to the rear Of the institu-
ton the rugged peaks Of the pic
turesque Wasatch range tower in
their magnificent grandeur and
majestic strength to a height OF
10, 900 feet. To the south fifteen
miles, to the north twenty-five
miles, and to the western range
fifteen miles, stretches that por-
ton Of Cache Valley within easy
view Of the College hill. Ait the
base Of the hill, 500 feet below,
nestles Logan City, and to the
south Logan river, mighty tor
rent, rushes on its way through
the valley, marked in ito course by
luxuriant vegetation, or else ap-
pearing in the distance as great
silver thread. In the valley ten
towns are easily discernible, and
irrigated and dry farms, each in
their different coloring, appear as
q gigantic checkerboard. Beyond
the confines Of the valley rise
range above range, and as one
gazes upon the wondrous piano.
rama extending fifty miles to the
south and seventy-five miles to
the north, the soul is stirred to
speechless admiration, then to
enthusiastic appreciation. Stu
dents, especially, readily acknowl-
edge the ever-present inspiration
of the view and confess its marked
influence in directing the mind to
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1906-08-24

ment, and teaching force to make
any educational institution worth
while. Go with the writer to the
base Of the College hill, walk with
him around the well-kept winding
pathway to the brow Of the hill,
and there in a setting Of trim
lawns Of large extent, beautiful
shrubbery, and great flower beds,
now in all their gorgeous beauty,
note the magnificent structure, q
cut Of which appears on this page.
This is the main building Of the
Agricultural College. It is built
Of white brick and cut stone, is
800 feet long and 200 feet deep,
contains 1875 rooms, and was COM
pleted three years ago at q total
cost Of about $4,000. This
building is devoted to class rooms,
museums, and laboratories for all
departments other than those of
Mechanic Arts. It also contains
the various Offices, the big chapel,
with a seating capacity Of 1900, a
spacious library and reading room
the dairy department, drill hall,
and gymnasium. The building 10
a most imposing structure.
To the south Of the Main Build
ing, with but scarce ten rods be-
tween, lies the Mechanic Arts
Building, a likeness Of which APP
pears On the following page. This
building was completed during
the recent winter, and replaces
the one Of about the same size de-
stroyed by fire Immediately before
the opening Of the school last year
This is an artistic building about
$50 by $50 feet, and is devoted ex-
clusively to work along the diff
ferent lines Of carpentry, forging,
pattern making, foundry work,
carriage building, and machine
work in wood and metals.

note its no less perfect moral en-
vironment,-a most vital consld-
Grafton when it comes to select
ing an educational institution to
which you will send your boy or
girl. Logan is a city Of 5000 in
habitants with not a single house
Of i'll repute, and but five saloons,
Ia condition that compares more
than favorably with that OF any
city of its size in the east or west.
The city is remarkably free from
vice, vicious allurements, or att
fractions calculated to take the
student from his work. The city
boasts Of one Of the four temples
Of the state, a spacious tabernacle
in the heart Of the city, ten ward
meeting houses, three sectarian
churches, and two other higher in
situations of learning, as well as
a splendid system Of city schools.
The citizenship Of this city is on
a high moral and intellectual
plane, and the moving spirits in
the city's business life, the various
schools and the religious organi.
cations, have combined with sym
pathetic councils and officials gen.
orally to make this q city Of high
ideals, q model college town, and
have been singularly successful in
their efforts. The city is progress
sive to a marked degree, owning
its own electric light and water
systems, possessing miles Of paved
walks, attractive residences and
well-kept properties. At the Col
lege itself there is a dignity, poise
and uplifting influence and insis-
tence upon regularity that has a
most wonderful effect upon the
character. The moral environ
ment of the College is such as sur
rounds but few educational insti-
tutions, and will unquestionably
commend itself to the good judy
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1906-08-24

supplements facts calculated to
enable the people to see the insti-
tuition as it is in-all its splendid
magnificencefact calculated to
suggest to them the advisability
and desirability Of patronizing
and cooperating with the insti-
tuition this year and each succeed
ing year.

A SCHOOL OF SCHOOLS.

The Agricultural College is all
this, and more. 1t is 3 school
among schools, one that any rich
and populous state might well be
proud Of, one that the farmer and
masses generally in any other
state would guard with jealous
care. It is a school that reflects

FARM AND FARM BUILDINGS
However, the foregoing build
lngs are but scarce half the ex-
tent of the College plant, and We
now take look at the barns,
various experimental buildings,
orchards, and meadows.
First, note the Conservatory, q
bower of beauty in a building, 90
by rs feet; the veterinary hos
pital, two-story structure is BY
AZ feet. From here we 60 to the
great barns. There are four Of
these, all frame and model in ev-
cry respect. These are the delight
Of the farmers who visit the big
school. They are designed for in
structional and scientific expert
mental purposes, Of course, and at
the same time are supposed to
prove valuable object lessons to
visitors. The IIrse Barn is go BY
60 feet, the Cattle barn LOG by
1O4, Sheep barn "a by Al, and the
Hog barn 65 by 81. These build
ings, with their equipment, are
worth something near $55, 900.
The Poultry building, removed
but q short distance from the
barns, is a structure rs by $50
feet, and 100 feet on each side Is
devoted to pens. Here are to be
found all the standard breeds Of
chickens, and under the expert
mentation of Prof. Dryden, who
returns this year after two
years vacation, the experiments
ing that has already attracted
worldwide attention will BE- con-
tinued.
Considering the extent Of these
farm buildings, their perfect mo-
deling, together with the high
bred animals which they house, IL
would certainly appear that 40
small stress 10 laid upon the agri-
cultural side Of the College.
But in this respect there are still|
other things to mention th4
