 Immediately beyond the campus of the Normal is the 50 acre dem- onstration farm which affords stu dents opportunity for experimental and practical work in agriculture.
 The setting of the school is as practical as it is attractive. for the buildings are very well arranged for the convenience of the students. Some old. some new, they are equipped in the most modern fashion and 'excep- tionally well kept up.
 The original group of buildings or red brick and stone has grown up about the main building and en- closes on three sides the quadrangle of green lawn with fountain gener- ally half covered with pond lilies in the center. On the west side of the main drive and further south than the quadrangle is a more recent group of structures constructed of cream colored pressed brick. This new group is dominated by the In dustrial Arts building. completed in 1915. The arrangement of both of the groups is convenient and slightly as well
 Main Building the Center
 The early traditions of the Tempe Normal school cluster about the main building with its three stories of ivy covered red brick. which for many years after its founding in 1894 was the scene of nearly all stu dent activities. With the growth of the institution one department after another has been separately housed unil at the present time this parent building is devoted chiefly to class rooms for the academic work. The kindergarten department occupies a portion of the first floor. which also contains the armory. The east half of the main floor contains the main library, with it's 14.e09 volumes, and with reading tables to seat more than 100 at a time. The main corridor of this building is one of the points of interest to returning alumni, for here are the cases of military and ath- letic trophies reminIscent of bygone days. and the photographs of the various graduating classes in which one may trace the recurring cycles of fashion in dress and coiffure
 Facing the quadrangle on the east l is the science hall, a commodious | two story structure which at pres ent houses the administrative offices of the president and the secretary of | the faculty. The remainder of the | first floor is occupied by the 1abo- ratories of physics and chemistry, which are situated on either side | of a common lecture room and are well supplied with all apparatus for demonstration IS well as for indi- viduai students work Improved types of laboratory tables are in stalled and equipped with gas, wa | ter and electric current. The lec- | ture room is fitted with an excel lent apparatus for projection. mo- tor generator for demonstration cur rents, storage batteries and many other facilities for lecture work. The stock rooms and photographic dark | room also are located here. On the second floor are the laboratories for biology. physiology and geography. The equipment of these laboratories includes an excellent outfit of micro scopes. microtomes, paraffin baths and other accessories and good col lection of working material. The lec- tGFe room is centrally located and Is fitted with projection apparatus, and | there is a good working equipment for the study of bacterialogy and micro biology. A room on this floor is de- | voted to a growing museum collec- tion of material representative of the fauna and flora of Arizona and its | mineral resources.
 On the side of the quadrangle op- posite the science hall is the adui- torium, a building 72X100 feet, which has recently undergone a thorough reconstruction, with improvements which make it one of the best struc- lures of the kind in the state. The main auditorium seats nearly 1,00( persons and is designed with espe- cial attention to its acoustic proper ties which are excellent. A 40 fooi stage with ample depth is equipped with a complete set of modern see nery and with stock properties sui ficient to stage dramatic work of 2 high order. School organizations arG thus enabled to develop their dramat- ic talent under very favorable cir cumstances. and the school manage ment is enabled to bring each veal to the student body and to the peo- pie of Tempe a course of lectures and entertainments of the best class. The auditorium further serves to bring 1 together in the weekly assemble. ] the enlire student body and the fac
