PREFACE 
 
 To acquaint students, alumni and visitors with the equipment 
 and resources of the University of Pennsylvania, and to assist the 
 students and friends of the University in escorting visitors through 
 the institution, the editor prepared, in 1904, a pamphlet descrip- 
 tive of the principal buildings and objects of interest, which was the 
 first edition of this Guide Book. The subsequent editions were 
 illustrated and greatly enlarged. The first four editions had issues 
 of from five to twenty thousand copies. 
 
 The editor acknowledges the assistance given him by various 
 officials of the University, and also information and data collected 
 from a number of reports and pamphlets. 
 
 The scope of the work prevents more than a brief historical 
 account and description of the Departments, but full informa- 
 tion will be furnished by the Recorder's Office on request; or those 
 wishing information on the courses and various schools are referred 
 to the general catalogue and departmental publications; and those 
 desirous of looking up the historical development of the University 
 are referred to the list of publications printed in this edition.

 HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 When the American colonies declared their independence in 1776, 
 only about twelve of the present colleges and universities were in 
 existence in the United States. They now number nearly six

 hundred. Only six of the present universities have been founded 
 more than a century and a half. Harvard was founded in 1636, 
 Yale in 1701, Pennsylvania in 1740, Princeton in 1743, Washington 
 and Lee in 1749, Columbia in 1754.

 Among other colleges, still existent, which were founded prior 
 to the beginning of the Revolution in 1775 are William and Mary, 
 Brown, Rutgers and Dartmouth. Even prior to 1800 there were 
 no more than thirty colleges and universities in the United States. 
 
 The University of Pennsylvania traces its origin to the Charity 
 School organized in 1740, which was succeeded by the Academy, 
 organized in September, 1749, which occupied the building of the 
 Charity School. The Academy was the result of a pamphlet 
 published in 1749 by Benjamin Franklin, entitled "Proposals 
 Relating to the Education of Youth in Pennsylvania" and was 
 formally opened, in the presence of a distinguished assembly of 
 citizens, on January 7, 1751. The trustees received their first 
 charter in 1753, and in 1755, by virtue of a second charter, the 
 Academy was made The College of Philadelphia with power to 
 confer the usual honorary and collegiate degrees. 
 
 The building in which the Academy was installed was erected 
 in 1740 for Whitefield and other itinerant preachers, and was the 
 largest building then in Philadelphia. The lot on which it was 
 located had a frontage of 209 feet, and was capable, as Benjamin 
 Franklin stated in 1750, "of receiving more buildings to lodge the 
 scholars if it should come to be a regular college. The house is 
 built of brick, very strong and sufficiently high for three lofty 
 stories." The building was subsequently divided into two stories 
 and rearranged, in which condition it remained until 1844, when 
 it was completely destroyed. 
 
 According to "Montgomery's History," the entrance to this 
 building opened into a large hall, and on either side were large 
 class rooms, that to the north being occupied by the charity school. 
 The western half of the first floor was occupied by a large room, 
 ninety by thirty-five feet, in the center of which was a platform 
 from which the members of the faculty taught their classes. To 
 the south between the large room and the front class room the 
 hall turned west, opening out into the playground, which was 
 about one hundred by fifty feet. In the side hall arose a heavy 
 staircase with a solid balustrade which opened into a large upper 
 hall covering the entire width of the building and about ninety 
 feet in length. Across the south end over the stairway was a 
 gallery; the rostrum was against the north wall. In this hall were 
 held the early commencements as well as all the public exercises, 
 and on Sunday divine services were held by Whitefield and others. 
 The front campus was more ornamental than useful, the students 
 not being allowed to use it for a playground. 
 
 The building to the north seems to have taken form at the 
 trustees'^ meeting of March 10, 1761, when the subject of building 
 a dormitory was considered because of the "inconvenience of 
 the scholars being boarded at such great distances, etc." The 
 subject was brought up at several subsequent meetings and on 
 November 28th of the same year the Board voted to erect a new 
 
12 
 
 building as recommended in a report of a special committee which 
 provided for a building seventy feet long by thirty feet wide, which 
 was to have on the ground floor two charity schools with a kitchen 
 and dining room and in the upper stories sixteen lodging rooms 
 with a cellar beneath the hall. On April 12, 1762, the trustees 
 decided to construct the new building on the north side of the 
 Academy building on account of the southern exposure, and also

 ANATOMICAL HALL, 
 OCCUPIED BY THE MEDICAL SCHOOL IN 1 765. 
 
 for the purpose of keeping clear the south door. It is believed that 
 a part of this building is still standing. It has frequently been 
 urged by the writer that this part and a reproduction of the old 
 Academy together with the first home of Benjamin Franklin (on 
 Spring Street) be brought out to the present campus of the Uni- 
 versity to be used for museum and dormitory purposes. These 
 two buildings were occupied by the University until 1802, when 
 
13 
 
 the University was removed to the present site of the United States 
 post office at Ninth and Market Streets. 
 
 In 1765 a School of Medicine was added to the College. The 
 lectures were given in "Anatomical Hall," or "Surgeon's Hall," 
 which stood on the east side of Fifth Street above Walnut. Later 
 the University also rented rooms in the American Philosophical 
 Society Building on the west side of Fifth Street below Chestnut 
 Street. Dr. William Shippen and Dr. John Morgan were the 
 prime movers of the enterprise and to John Morgan is accorded 
 the honor of being the founder of the Medical School. The school 
 grew rapidly and attained a prominence which made it the fore- 
 most institution of its kind in North America, and notwithstanding 
 the fact that medical schools of some other universities have made 
 notable progress in the past one hundred and fifty years, it has 
 not only remained in the front rank, but at the present time prob- 
 ably maintains the most advanced requirements for admission to 
 study and the highest standards of scholarship for graduation. 
 Its graduates lead' in their profession in every locality in which they 
 practice. The Medical School from the time of its inception to 
 that of its complete organization was modeled after that of the 
 University of Edinburgh and its "coat of arms" is a Scotch thistle. 
 
 In 1779 the charter rights and privileges of the college were 
 absorbed by a new organization, called in its charter "The Trustees 
 of the University of the State of Pennsylvania," making it the 
 first institution in the United States to be designated a university, 
 as it was in fact the first to establish professional schools as distinct 
 from the college. 
 
 In 1 79 1 it was incorporated by another charter as "The Uni- 
 versity of Pennsylvania;" the charter having been granted jointly 
 to the trustees of the Charity School and Academy; of the College 
 and of the University. 
 
 The "Sons of Pennsylvania" were in those early days, as they 
 are even now, among the leaders in educational, social and political 
 life. The first Provost, William Smith, was one of the ablest edu- 
 cators of his time, and the college course planned by him became 
 the model which has been followed in the arrangement of the 
 curriculum of most of the modern colleges. 
 
 In the first class graduated, in May, 1757, the degree of Bachelor 
 of Arts was conferred on seven young men. The names of these 
 were Paul Jackson, Jacob Duche, Francis Hopkinson, Samuel 
 Magaw, Hugh Williamson, James Latta and John Morgan. A 
 noted non-graduate of this class was Benjamin West, the great 
 painter, who left in his Sophomore year to study in Europe. Jacob 
 Duche, who was valedictorian of his class, was Chaplain to Congress 
 1 774 _ 76; Francis Hopkinson, author of "The Battle of the Kegs," 
 was also a member of the Continental Congress, and a signer of 
 the Declaration of Independence; James Latta became a famous 
 Presbyterian minister and was the third moderator of the General 
 
H 
 
 Assembly of the Presbyterian Church; Samuel Magaw became 
 clergyman of the Church of England; John Morgan held the first 
 medical professorship in America, and was the physician-in-chief 
 of the Continental Army 1775-77, and Hugh Williamson was a 
 member of the Continental Congress and a noted scientist and 
 astronomer. 
 
 To mention the famous graduates of succeeding classes would 
 require far more space than the present sketch will permit, but 
 we may claim, without being charged with extravagance, that the 
 twentieth century shows a similar eminence in letters, science and 
 statecraft of the graduates of Pennsylvania. 
 
 Situated as it was in the immediate neighborhood of Independence 
 Hall and within the sound of the bell that proclaimed "Liberty 
 throughout the land," Pennsylvania was the mother of many 
 
 "presidential mansion" and other university buildings at 
 ninth and chestnut streets, occupied l802 to 1 829. 
 
 patriots, and from within her humble walls were graduated a notable 
 number of men who, at the risk of life and liberty, became prominent 
 rebels against the domination of Britain and who incurred the 
 hostility of those who retained their loyalty to the Crown. 
 
 In the period previous to the year 1800, Benjamin Franklin 
 and nine others were signers of the Declaration of Independence; 
 seven of the University's sons were signers of the Constitution; 
 twenty-one were members of the Continental Congress; nine were 
 in the Senate of the United States; eight were attorneys-general 
 of States or of the United States; six were justices of the Supreme 
 Court; seven were governors of States; and many other officers 
 in the Army and men in public life might be named as having 
 received their education at the old buildings at Fourth and Arch 
 Streets before 1800. 
 
[15 
 
 The College was closed for a period of fifteen months during the 
 occupation of Philadelphia by the British army in 1777 and 1778, 
 when the buildings were used by the British troops. They were 
 also used for a time by the soldiers of the Continental army. In 
 1778 Congress met in the old College Hall, and members of the 
 Congress, President Washington and his cabinet attended the 
 public functions and commencement exercises of the University. 
 
 While the Provosts of the University during its early years were 
 most of them clergymen, the University was, from the start, free 
 from sectarian or denominational bias. The early boards of

 trustees included Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Baptists, Mora- 
 vians and Quakers. The earliest society of Unitarian Christians 
 in America was organized in this first building of the University 
 on June 12, 1796, under the influence of Joseph Priestley, widely 
 known as a thoughtful philosopher, as the discoverer of oxygen 
 and as the founder of modern chemistry. Very curiously, two 
 years before, on November 11, 1794, Dr. Priestley was unanimously 
 elected Professor of Chemistry at the University, an honor which 
 he greatly appreciated but declined because he had already estab- 
 lished himself elsewhere, as is further set forth by Provost Edgar 
 F. Smith in his "Chemistry in America." 
 
16 
 
 The first American University Professorship in Law was estab- 
 lished in 1790 and James Wilson was appointed to the position. 
 Washington attended his lectures. 
 
 In 1799 the University conferred on Washington the degree of 
 LL.D., and later celebrated his birthday, which was formally set 
 apart in 1826 in the University Calendar as an annual observance. 
 The day is known to the students and alumni as "University Day" 
 and is celebrated by appropriate exercises. 
 
 Increasing numbers caused the trustees to seek larger quarters 
 in the beginning of the nineteenth century. Believing that the

 seat of government of the nation would remain in Philadelphia, 
 the State of Pennsylvania had built a "Presidential Mansion" 
 at Ninth and Chestnut Streets, on the site now occupied by the 
 Post Office. For reasons not necessary to recount, neither Wash- 
 ington nor Adams occupied the mansion and when the capital 
 was removed to Washington, D. C, the building was purchased 
 by the trustees. 
 
 In 1802 the College was moved into this building and occupied 
 it until 1829, when it was demolished and two buildings were 
 erected on the same ground, one for the College and the other for 
 the Medical School. 
 
17 
 
 The University remained in the two buildings at Ninth and 
 Chestnut Streets until 1872, when the necessity for larger build- 
 ings and more extensive grounds became urgent and the present 
 site was secured in West Philadelphia. The buildings of green 
 serpentine stone, the College, Logan Hall, the Hare Laboratory

 and the main building of the University Hospital were erected in 
 the years immediately following. 
 
 There have been twelve Provosts of the University: the thirteenth 
 and present guide of its destiny is Edgar Fahs Smith, Sc.D., LL.D.; 
 the others were William Smith, D.D., 1755-91; John Ewing, D.D., 
 1780-91-1802; John McDowell, LL.D., 1807-10; John Andrews, 
 
18 
 
 D.D., 1810-13; Frederick Beasley, D.D., 1813-28; William De 
 Lancey, LL.D., 1828-33; John Ludlow, LL.D., 1834-53; Henry 
 Vethake, LL.D., 1854-59; Daniel Raynes Goodwin, LL.D., 1860- 
 68; Charles Janeway Stilld, 1868-80; William Pepper, LL.D., 
 1881-94; Charles Custis Harrison, LL.D., 1894-1911. 
 
 It will be seen, then, that it was during the administration of 
 Provost Stille" that the University moved to West Philadelphia 
 and a period of physical expansion ensued which has continued 
 during forty years, at the beginning of which, or in 1873, the Uni- 
 versity may be said to have entered upon a new era. 
 
 During the administration of Provost Stille" the University 
 Hospital was established and the main building of green serpentine 
 stone was built; the Towne Scientific School was founded and 
 allotted a wing of the College; the Department of Music was estab- 
 lished; the Dental School was founded with an operating room 
 in Hare Laboratory. 
 
 The expansion of the University during the administration of 
 Provost Pepper by the addition of new departments is a wonderful 
 record and it has been inscribed for all time on the pedestal of his 
 monument on the campus. He established the Wharton School 
 of Finance and Commerce; the Biological Department; the Depart- 
 ment of Philosophy, now the Graduate School; the Veterinary 
 School; the Training School for Nurses; the Department of Physical 
 Education; the University Library; the Graduate Department 
 for Women; the Department of Hygiene; the Department of 
 Architecture; the Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology; the 
 William Pepper Laboratory of Clinical Medicine; the Department 
 of Archaeology and Paleontology, and the University Museum. 
 In addition to these the Free Library of Philadelphia and the 
 Philadelphia Commercial Museums were the creations of his remark- 
 able activity and genius. 
 
 The buildings erected during his term of office were: the Library, 
 the Heat and Light Station, the Laboratory of Hygiene, Pepper 
 Laboratory, Wistar Institute, the old Veterinary Buildings (which 
 occupied the present site of the new Medical Laboratories), and 
 Botanical Hall. 
 
 During the administration of Provost Harrison the Houston 
 Club was organized; the Flower Astronomical Observatory was 
 opened; the Summer School was added to the College; College 
 Courses for Teachers were established; the Evening School of 
 Finance and Accounts was established, and the Henry Phipps 
 Institute was transferred to the University. 
 
 Among the buildings erected were: Houston Hall; the Harrison 
 Laboratory of Chemistry; the Engineering Building for the Towne 
 Scientific School; the Law School Building; the Gymnasium, Training 
 House and Stadium on Franklin Field; the New Medical Labora- 
 tories; the Veterinary Building; the Clinical Building; the Flower 
 Astronomical Observatory, and twenty-seven Dormitory Houses. 
 
19 
 
 The Phipps Institute Building, the New Zoological Building and 
 part of the Veterinary Buildings were started during Provost 
 Harrison's term and completed during the present term of office 
 of Provost Smith. 
 
 EDGAR FAHS SMITH, PH.D., SC.D., L.H.D., LL.D. 
 PROVOST OF THE UNIVERSITY SINCE JANUARY I, I9I 
 
 Aside from all this, Provost Harrison raised more funds for the 
 endowment of professorships, fellowships, scholarships and build- 
 ings than all of his predecessors combined, starting with a liberal 
 gift of his own which will ultimately amount to a million dollars. 
 
20 
 
 When Dr. Harrison planned the establishment of the Houston 
 Club, which has so successfully welded the great cosmopolitan 
 body of students into one democratic brotherhood, he little thought 
 that the success of this project at the University of Pennsylvania 
 would influence scores of colleges and universities in all parts of 
 the world to organize similar clubs, and that the Houston Club 
 idea would become a world-wide movement in college life. Another 
 feature of his term was the establishment in 1901 of the bureau 
 now known as the Recorder's Office, the influence of which has also 
 become world-wide, and through its channels not only the alumni 
 but the entire educational world have been kept in touch with the 
 University of Pennsylvania. During the existence of this bureau 
 the number of students has increased from 2,573 to 6,332; or 150 
 per cent, notwithstanding the fact that almost every department 
 has increased its entrance requirements and the standards of its 
 courses. From a delegation of 115 students representing twenty- 
 six foreign countries, the University now has 265 foreign students 
 representing forty-four countries; and the number of students 
 from places other than Pennsylvania has increased from 796 to 
 almost 2,000. Old Penn, the official weekly of the University 
 was founded, and the office has gradually accumulated large col- 
 lections of valuable information and material. 
 
 Since the installation of Provost Edgar F. Smith the progress 
 of the University has been more than sustained. The new building 
 of the Dental Department, the most complete and imposing edifice 
 devoted to the science of dentistry, has just been finished; a new 
 Surgical Laboratory is in process of construction; important addi- 
 tions are being made to the Museum; four new dormitory build- 
 ings have been added. A number of new buildings are contemplated, 
 such as a Chapel, Graduate School, Wharton School, Architectural 
 School and Administration Building. 
 
 But the present administration of the University is conservative 
 as to physical expansion and devoted to the further advance of 
 the schools in scholarship, advocating the study of the Classics by 
 all students in the College as indispensable to those who desire to 
 make the most of themselves and their collegiate and subsequent 
 career. 
 
 One of the most prominent features of this administration was 
 the division in September, 19 12, of the College into three depart- 
 ments—The College, The Towne Scientific School, and The Wharton 
 School — and the appointment of a dean for each school. 
 
 Another important movement was the extension of University 
 courses. The University of Pennsylvania holds a unique position 
 in the educational system of the State. It has inaugurated many 
 movements for sound and sane education. It continues to be the 
 University of the people and has always offered its services to all. 
 
 In order to make these services more effective, Extension Schools 
 under the direction of the Wharton School of Finance and Com- 
 
21 
 
 merce have been established at Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, and 
 have met with great success both as to the number of students and 
 the hearty approval and co-operation of the civic authorities. A 
 similar school is expected to be opened in the fall of 1914 in Reading, 
 Pa. Lecture courses and educational courses at Harrisburg, Altoona, 
 Williamsport and other centers have met with equal success, and 
 a new movement known as "Schoolmen's Week" has been estab- 
 lished for the benefit of school superintendents, principals, normal 
 school teachers and members of boards of education. 
 
 A GLIMPSE OF THE BOTANIC GARDENS. 
 
 The relations of the University to the people of the City of 
 Philadelphia and its environs have been made closer by the estab- 
 lishment at the beginning of the academic year 1913-14 of a course 
 of free public lectures by members of the faculty, on Saturday 
 afternoons, in Houston Hall. The number of lectures by members 
 of foreign and American universities has also been increased and 
 so great has been the acceptance of these privileges that on some 
 occasions hundreds of people have been turned away, thus empha- 
 sizing the very pressing need for a larger auditorium. 
 
22 
 
 The environment of the University of Pennsylvania is the richest 
 in America in historical interest. Its campus of one hundred and 
 seventeen acres along the west banks of the Schuylkill River is 
 only ten minutes' ride from City Hall, the center of a population 
 that is rapidly approaching two millions. The campus is diversified 
 with terraces, smooth lawns and many trees. Many of the build- 
 ings are overgrown with ivy and partly concealed behind bushes 
 and foliage. The Botanic Gardens, with their heavily shaded 
 walks twining around flower beds, the lily and lotus ponds, the 
 greenhouses, filled with collections of rare plants from all parts 
 of the world; and Hamilton Walk, shaded with tall poplars, weep- 
 
 THE DORMITORIES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS. 
 
 ing willows, maples, oaks and other American shade trees planted 
 as memorials to eminent Pennsylvanians — all combine to form a 
 pleasing and restful prospect. 
 
 Fairmount Park is about fifteen minutes' walk from the College. 
 Its three thousand five hundred acres of hills and valleys are rich 
 in natural beauty, divided by the placid Schuylkill River and 
 Wissahickon Creek, the latter noted as one of the most picturesque 
 of the smaller streams of America. 
 
 On the banks of the Schuylkill is the College Boat-house, where 
 students may secure boats, shells or canoes for practice or for a 
 spin upon the National Rowing Course. The river has been the 
 
23 
 
 scene of many races of American college crews, and is the course 
 upon which the national regattas are held. The River Drive 
 extends from the Pennsylvania Boat-house along the east bank 
 of the Schuylkill and up the Wissahickon Creek for a distance^ of 
 eleven miles. The plans of the City Parks Association provide 
 for the extension of the park system so that the University campus 
 will ultimately be connected by a boulevard with Fairmount Park 
 on the north and with Bartram's Botanic Gardens on the south, 
 and also with numerous small parks. 
 
 The principal buildings of the University, except those of Phipps 
 Institute and the Astronomical Observatory, are located on the

 grounds in West Philadelphia. Phipps Institute is at Lombard 
 and Seventh Streets and the Astronomical buildings are located 
 on a hill a few miles from the campus, away from the hazy sky and 
 vibrations of the city. Including the dormitory houses, there are 
 about seventy buildings used to carry on the work of the University. 
 Besides these, many of the fraternities and the Mask and Wig Club 
 occupy buildings of their own, while the Christian Association has 
 several buildings in the Schuylkill River district devoted to settle- 
 ment work. 
 
 The^ Philadelphia Museum and the Philadelphia Hospital are on 
 adjoining grounds, the latter, with the University Hospital, offer- 
 
24 
 
 ing exceptional opportunity for clinical and ward study by the 
 students of the Medical School. 
 
 The location of the University near the center of a great city 
 affords to its students unusual facilities for supplementing their 
 courses by practical work^and for completing their academic train- 
 ing. Thus, the students in Finance and Commerce and in Engineer- 
 ing have the privilege of visiting many of the most extensive 
 industrial plants in the world. The American Philosophical 
 Society, Franklin Institute, the American Academy of Natural 
 Sciences, and similar organizations have their headquarters and 
 collections in the city, to which students interested in the sciences 
 are always made welcome. Law students may witness the trials

 of cases in all of the courts of the city and State, and in two of the 
 Federal courts. 
 
 For a century and a half Philadelphia has been recognized as the 
 medical center of America. Within its limits there are six medical 
 schools, three dental schools, two schools of pharmacy and one of 
 veterinary medicine, and in all of these, several thousand students 
 are enrolled every year. There are also several post-graduate 
 schools, a number of museums and medical libraries, and sixty- 
 four general hospitals. Nowhere in America can such facilities 
 for medical study and research be equaled. 
 
 The Christian Association is an active factor in the moral and 
 social interests of the students. Under its supervision is conducted 
 
25 
 
 the settlement work in the Schuylkill River district, and under 
 the direction of an allied board of trustees is the University of 
 Pennsylvania Medical School in Canton, China, which has had a 
 remarkably successful growth. The Association also conducts 
 a summer camp and the daily chapel service. 
 
 It has always been the aim of the faculty to encourage a spirit 
 of fellowship among the students. The first and most effective 
 step in this direction was the organization of the Houston Club, 
 of which we have already spoken, and which, in the fall of 1896, 
 moved into one of the most handsome club houses in Philadelphia. 
 About the club as a center revolves the social life of the University. 
 
 HOUSTON CLUB RECEPTION HALL. 
 
 The approach is imposing and the spacious vestibule leads into 
 a large _ reception room. From its heavy beamed ceilings hang 
 chandeliers of dull brass; upon the walls, paneled with quartered 
 oak, are trophies of the hunt and rare paintings and engravings; 
 scattered over the room and around the high open fireplaces are 
 oak and leather-upholstered easy chairs and settees; the highly 
 polished hard-wood floors are covered with oriental rugs. Com- 
 fortable window-seats are provided along all windows and in the 
 alcoves. In the building are several billiard rooms, a supply store, 
 a barber shop, trophy rooms, society rooms, photographer's dark 
 room, dining room, music room, guest chamber, auditorium with 
 a pipe organ. The auditorium is used as a chapel and for the 
 
26 
 
 Sunday services, lectures, smokers, balls, dances, dinners, recep- 
 tions and student entertainments. Every male student, upon 
 matriculating, becomes a member of the Club and of the Gymna- 
 sium. 
 
 The Dormitory Houses are thirty in number, all erected since 
 1895. The buildings are of the late Tudor Gothic style, and are 
 named for their donors or for distinguished alumni. All of the 
 houses face the courtyards, the entrance to which is through 
 either of two gateways known as "Memorial Tower," and "Provosts' 
 Tower." These two entrances insure privacy to the residents. 
 The houses are not communicating. Each has its own staircase 
 and entrance leading into one of the courtyards. Student self-

 government is a feature of the dormitory system. The rooms are 
 cheerful and homelike; the interior woodwork is finished in dark 
 quartered oak, and the furniture is of the same material. Many 
 of the rooms have window seats and open fireplaces. The poorest 
 student receives the same service and attention as the wealthiest, 
 the only difference being in the location and size of the rooms. 
 The courtyards, the "Dorm Steps," "The Terrace" and other 
 familiar spots about the dormitories are favorite meeting places 
 for rehearsals of college songs and (cheers, for mass meetings and 
 reunions, and for celebrating victories. Although the comforts 
 and conveniences are greater and the environment more pleasant 
 than those of the average boarding house, the cost of living at 
 the University dormitories is usually somewhat less. 
 
*7 
 
 The general mingling of the students incident to dormitory life 
 and fostered by the Houston Club and the Gymnasium has greatly 
 strengthened the fellowship of the students, so that Pennsylvania 
 may claim to be one of the most democratic of universities. In 
 athletics, also, the regulations adopted by the Department of 
 
 Y TERRACE. 
 
 Physical Education have brought about the desired fraternal con- 
 ditions. The students who show exceptional ability, and who 
 make 'Varsity teams, are no longer the only ones who use the 
 Gymnasium, the athletic fields and boat-houses, but all students 
 
28 
 
 are now obliged to take some form of physical exercise. Each 
 student, upon matriculating, is examined by the Director of Physical 
 Education, who is also Professor of Physical Education, and who 
 prescribes the amount and character of exercise necessary to keep 
 the student in health while at the University, a monthly record 
 being kept of his development. This method not only gives many 
 men, whose ability might otherwise never have been discovered, 
 opportunities to make athletic teams; but, what is more important, 
 the men leave the University better equipped physically. 
 
 THE RELAY RACES ON FRANKLIN FIELD. 
 
 Every sport popular among American college students is sup- 
 ported by the students of the University. During the spring and 
 the early weeks of summer, most of the out-of-door sports are in 
 vogue, such as baseball, track athletics, cricket, tennis, lacrosse, 
 golf and rowing. Football is the principal attraction during autumn, 
 although cross-country running, gunning and some of the spring 
 sports and games receive attention. Among the indoor sports and 
 games popular among the students during the winter seasons, are 
 basket-ball, wrestling, fencing, sparring, swimming, water polo 
 and gymnastics. The home contests are usually held on Franklin 
 Field, which is fitted up with a quarter-mile track, a baseball dia- 
 
29 
 
 mond, a football field'and accommodations for field sports. Stands 
 with a seating capacity of 30,000 enclose three sides of the field, 
 the fourth side being taken up by the Gymnasium building and 
 two memorial gates. Underneath the stands are indoor tracks and 
 the winter training quarters for the track team. At the annual 
 relay races, athletes from every section of the United States and 
 some from abroad meet on Franklin Field to compete in track and 
 field sports. The 308 team entries for these races in 1914 included 
 several thousand athletes from all parts of America and one four- 
 mile relay team from Oxford University, England. 
 
 THE TAURIANS, GIVEN IN GREEK BY THE 
 STUDENTS. 
 
 During the winter social functions are frequent. Fraternities 
 give teas and dances; the clubs and societies of the professional 
 departments give smokers, dinners and banquets; the glee, banjo 
 and mandolin clubs and other musical organizations give concerts; 
 the various dramatic societies give their annual plays; and the 
 literary societies hold debates with similar societies from other 
 colleges; and debating teams selected from the entire student 
 body meet teams from other universities. 
 
 Student life at any institution would be incomplete without 
 college papers. Pennsylvania is no exception to this rule; its 
 students publish a daily paper, one literary monthly and one comic 
 
30 
 
 magazine. The University also publishes every week the Chronicle, 
 containing a list of events to take place the week following the 
 day of publication, and Old Penn, a weekly review of all University 
 news. The General Alumni Society sends to its members a monthly 
 magazine, The Alumni Register. The Law and Dental Schools 
 and other departments of the University also publish magazines 
 devoted to the interests of their respective professions. 
 
 The most prominent social and dramatic event of the year is 
 the Easter Week production of the Mask and Wig Club. For 
 twenty-six successive years the club has staged a new play in the 
 
 CAST OF A PLAY GIVEN IN GERMAN BY THE MEMBERS OF 
 THE DEUTSCHER VEREIN. 
 
 nature of an extravaganza or burlesque, the book and the music 
 being written by its members. The cast and chorus usually include 
 from seventy-five to one hundred undergraduates. The first pre- 
 sentation is usually at Atlantic City on Saturday^ eight perform- 
 ances are given during the following week in a leading Philadelphia 
 theater, after which single night stands are made at several cities 
 upon the requests of the alumni. The Mask and Wig plays have 
 been given in New York, Buffalo, Rochester, Boston, New Haven, 
 Pittsburgh, Washington, Baltimore, Richmond, Wilmington and 
 Wilkes-Barre. From its surplus earnings the club has built a 
 
31 
 
 dormitory house at a cost of about $50,000, and it now contemplates 
 building a Provost's Residence on the campus. 
 
 Other dramatic events are the annual original plays of the Archi- 
 tectural Society; the presentation of French plays by the Cercle 
 Francais; of German plays by the Deutscher Verein; of Italian 
 plays by the Circolo Italiano; of Old English plays by the Philo- 
 mathean Society and Zelosophic Society. 
 
 There are numerous student organizations within the University. 
 Membership in many of them, such as the musical societies, dramatic 
 clubs, automobile, camera and athletic clubs, and Christian Associa-

 tion, is open to all students; membership in others is restricted to 
 students of the professional departments, to men of particular 
 political or religious beliefs or of certain scholastic standing. There 
 are about fifty Greek letter fraternities, twelve general societies, 
 twenty college societies, ten medical societies, seven law clubs, 
 four dental societies, one veterinary society, twelve preparatory 
 school clubs, twenty-six undergraduate class organizations and 
 fifty sectional clubs; the last named being composed of men coming 
 from the same countries, states or counties. Besides the class 
 organizations, there are also eight local and seventy-seven other 
 alumni societies. 
 
32 
 
 Among the customs peculiar to students at Pennsylvania are 
 the annual "Bowl Fight," "Poster Fight," "Chapel Fight," the 
 "May Day Sports," etc. The "Bowl Fight" marks the end of 
 all differences between the Sophomore and Freshman classes, it 
 having largely supplanted the numerous class fights. Hazing has 
 been abolished. The "May Day Sports" had their origin when, 
 in 1898, the students in the Dormitories, attired in their night- 
 clothes, were called out by some of their number to celebrate 
 Dewey's victory. Ever since, the night of the First of May has 
 been set apart for a student parade, a huge bonfire, wrestling, tug- 
 of-war and other sports, on Franklin Field.

 THE BOWL FIGHT. 
 
 Brief sketches of each of the various departments and schools 
 of the University and descriptions of the buildings in which they 
 are housed will be found on succeeding pages. 
 
 We acknowledge the loyalty and self-sacrificing spirit of the 
 alumni, the faculty and the officers of administration during one 
 hundred and seventy years, and during the past few years the 
 generous assistance of the city and State. The University is not 
 the gift of a single philanthropist or of a group of men, but of many. 
 With meagre endowment and often with strained resources the 
 University has won a place among the foremost in scholarship as 
 well as in equipment. 
 
ITINERARY SUGGESTED 
 
 The following is a "lecture" prepared by the Recorder of the 
 University for a sight-seeing automobile company which had 
 its cars come through the University grounds. It will be found 
 of value to those who wish to take friends through the University 
 in the shortest time, and without retracing footsteps. 
 
 Approach the University from Thirty-fourth and Chestnut 
 Streets, and on arriving on the west side of Thirty-third Street, 
 say: 
 
 "We are now approaching the University of Pennsylvania, which 
 was founded by Benjamin Franklin and which had its origin in a 
 charity school organized in 1740. Among the American universities 
 it is the third oldest, but was the first institution to be called a uni- 
 versity and the first one to embody the idea of a university. It is 
 located within ten minutes' ride of the center of a metropolis of a 
 population of more than a million and a half. Its campus consists 
 of 117 acres, on which there are more than seventy buildings, besides 
 many club and fraternity houses. Here 6,000 students are drawn 
 annually from every State in the Union, and from forty-five to fifty 
 foreign countries. 
 
 "To the right (pointing to the building at the southwest corner 
 of Thirty-fourth and Chestnut Streets) is the Law School Build- 
 ing which was erected in 1900. It is devoted exclusively to the 
 teaching of law, and is considered one of the best specimens in 
 America of English classical architecture of the time of William 
 and Mary. This is the earliest University Law School in the 
 United States, its first professor having been appointed in 1790. 
 
 " (In going from the Law School down to Thirty-fourth and 
 Woodland Avenue.) Many of the private dwellings within a radius 
 of three or four squares of the campus are occupied by student 
 clubs and fraternities. The one to the left of us at the forks of the 
 road is the new Zeta Psi House. To the right is the Phi Delta Theta. 
 The buildings in the square ahead to the left, on Thirty-fourth 
 Street between Walnut and Spruce, are, first, at the corner, Bennett 
 Hall, which will be the site of the new Graduate School Building; 
 the next one, the Randal Morgan Laboratory of Physics; then 
 the Laboratory of Hygiene, and the last one, the John Harrison 
 Laboratory of Chemistry. On the right hand side of the street, 
 the large red structure on the campus is the General Library Build- 
 ing, erected in 189 1; it contains about 400,000 volumes, among 
 which are many notable and rare collections of books; one of 
 these is the ' Memorial Library of the Publications of the University 
 of Pennsylvania and Her Sons,' which contains several thousand 
 volumes of writings by University of Pennsylvania men. 
 
 " (Going west on Woodland Avenue, and approaching the middle 
 of the square.) The large centrally located, ivy-covered building in 
 the middle of the campus to the left is College Hall. This was 
 
 (34) 
 
35 
 
 erected in 1873, and is one of the original group of buildings to be 
 located in West Philadelphia. The academic, architectural and 
 music courses are given in this building. The houses to the right 
 of us are known as 'Fraternity Row,' and are occupied by the 
 Delta Phi, Delta Tau Delta, Beta Theta Pi, and Omega Tau Sigma. 
 The small one is known as 'Alumni Hall,' and used to be occupied 
 by the General Alumni Society. More than sixty thousand men 
 have attended the University since it was founded, and those now

 living are all eligible to membership in this society. The first floor 
 is occupied by The Pennsylvanian, a daily newspaper published 
 by the students. There are eleven other weekly and monthly 
 magazines published at the University. The next building on 
 the campus to our left is Logan Hall, which is also one of the original 
 buildings. It was formerly occupied by the Medical School, but 
 is now the home of the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce. 
 This school was established in 1883 and was the first of its kind in 
 the world. Many other university schools have since been organized] 
 along similar lines. 
 
36 
 
 "The beautiful marble and light brick building at the corner on 
 our right is the Phi Kappa Sigma House, a national Greek-letter 
 fraternity which was organized at Pennsylvania in 1850. Opposite 
 are the houses of Nu Sigma Nu, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and the 
 Acacia Fraternity. The gray building in front of us, at the forks 
 of the road, is the Psi U House, another Greek-letter fraternity; 
 behind it is the Delta Upsilon, and opposite the Phi Gamma Delta. 
 A hundred feet further on the north side of Locust Street are the 
 Delta Psi and Phi Kappa Psi houses. The large yellow building 
 to our left is the Wistar Institute of Anatomy. This also is the

 only institute of its kind in America, and was founded in 1892, 
 although the museum which it houses was begun in 1808. The 
 buildings cover the entire block. 
 
 "The vacant lot with tennis courts to our right (pointing to 
 about the middle of the square) is the site of the new home of the 
 Wharton School. We are now approaching the dormitories. The 
 tower directly before us, to our left, is the main entrance to one 
 of the dormitory courtyards, known as 'The Triangle.' The tower 
 was dedicated in 1901, and is a memorial to the Pennsylvania 
 students and alumni who were engaged in the Spanish-American 
 War. 
 
37 
 
 "(In going past the Woodland Avenue side of the dormitories.) 
 These dormitory buildings were begun in 1895, and when finished 
 will enclose five courtyards. The group now consists of thirty 
 separate buildings, each named for an eminent alumnus, or for its 
 donor. There are no doorways to any of the houses leading out 
 into the street — all face five courtyards within. At present almost 
 a thousand students can be accommodated here. When the system 
 is completed it will include a dining hall and an auditorium. The 
 architecture is the old Tudor Gothic style, and with their wide court- 
 yards they strongly suggest the Oxford and Cambridge colleges of 
 England. Every student, rich or poor, receives the same service, 
 accommodations and furnishings, the only distinction being in the 
 location of the rooms. 
 
 THE DORMITORY " TRIANGLE" IN WINTER GARB. 
 
 "The architecture of these dormitories and most of the modern 
 buildings on the campus, is of the same general style, which origi- 
 nated at this University and which has been followed by many 
 other institutions. 
 
 "(Approaching Thirty-ninth and Woodland Avenue, and point- 
 ing to the large brick structure at Thirty-ninth and Woodland 
 Avenue.) _ To our right are the buildings of the Veterinary School 
 and Hospital of the University. This plant is the most spacious 
 and best equipped veterinary building and hospital in America. 
 The buildings occupy almost an entire square, and are constructed 
 around a courtyard. The State Livestock Sanitary Board also 
 has its laboratories here. 
 
38 
 
 "One square above, at Fortieth and Spruce Streets, is the Evans 
 Dental Institute and Dental School of the University of Pennsyl- 
 vania. It is the largest and best equipped plant in the world for 
 teaching dentistry. 
 
 "(Turning around and going into Hamilton Walk.) We are 
 now entering Hamilton Walk through a Memorial Gate presented 
 by the Class of 1873. There are a number of these beautiful gates 
 and memorials in various parts of the campus. The stretch before 
 
 "straw hat" day on franklin field. 
 
 us is Hamilton Walk. On either side are trees which have been 
 planted as memorials to eminent Pennsylvanians. To the left 
 of us are the dormitory houses, which form the southern boundary 
 of various courts. The first building to our right is the new Zoo- 
 logical Building, which has just been constructed at a cost of almost 
 half a million dollars. It contains ninety-two rooms, and is devoted 
 entirely to study and research work in zoology. The next build- 
 ing to our right is the Vivarium, which contains fresh and salt water 
 tanks for live specimens for zoological research. 
 
39 
 
 "The next building to our right, completely covered with ivy, 
 is Botanical Hall, and immediately in the rear are the greenhouses; 
 among the plants housed there are a number of rare and valuable 
 collections of orchids and fly-trap plants. In the hall itself are the 
 famous Bartram and Stille Biological Libraries. Behind this group 
 of buildings are the botanical gardens, in which there are several 
 thousand species and varieties of plants. The gardens cover four 
 acres, and with the beautiful lily and lotus ponds form one of the 
 most attractive features of the campus. 
 
 " (Going further down the walk.) To the right of us is the Medical 
 Laboratory Building. The medical school of the University is the 
 oldest in North America, having been founded in 1765. The school 
 occupies six educational buildings, of which this is the most impos- 
 ing. The architecture is distinctly Pennsylvanian, and in keeping 
 with the other new structures of the University. To the left of 
 us is the site for the extension of the dormitory system. This will 
 ultimately be completely enclosed with dormitory buildings. 
 
 " (Approaching Thirty-sixth Street.) To the south of us is the 
 Philadelphia Hospital, with a capacity of more than five thousand 
 patients, and in which the University medical students frequently 
 have bedside instruction. To the right of us are two squares of 
 hospital buildings belonging to the University, with a capacity of 
 more than four hundred beds. The brick building immediately 
 to our right is the Maternity Building. The frame building to our 
 left is the old-time dining hall, now used by the Architectural School 
 as a studio. The next buildings to our left are part of the dormitory 
 system, and form part of the boundaries of the east and south 
 quads. They are the Graduate House, and the Provosts' Tower, 
 the latter being dedicated to the men who served as Provosts since 
 the beginning of the University. 
 
 " (Passing now through the Class of '72 Memorial Gate and 
 turning down Spruce Street, point towards the yellow building at 
 Thirty-sixth and Spruce Streets.) That is the other end of the 
 Wistar Institute of Anatomy. (Then turning down Spruce.) To 
 the left of us is the Robert Hare Chemical Laboratory, used by 
 the medical students. The brick building to the right is the William 
 Pepper Clinical Laboratory, a memorial to the father of the late 
 Provost Pepper. The next building to the right is the new Clinical 
 Building of the Hospital. It is planned to reconstruct the front 
 elevations of all the hospital buildings to conform to this one. 
 
 "(Then pointing through the gateway opposite.) That is the 
 Memorial Gate of the Class of '93 ; looking through it we see several 
 fraternity houses in the distance, and also the rear of Logan and 
 College Halls. 
 
 "The gray stone building to our left, directly in front of us, is 
 Houston Hall, the home of the Houston Club, to which more than 
 five thousand students and alumni of the University belong. The 
 building was named in memory of Henry Howard Houston, Jr. 
 
40 
 
 a graduate of the Class of 1878, the hall being the gift of his parents. 
 It was designed by two University students. The architecture is 
 Elizabethan. The building is furnished and equipped as well as 
 the most exclusive clubs in the city. Upon the walls of this build- 
 ing are so many portraits of Provosts and eminent alumni, and 
 memorial tablets to illustrious Pennsylvanians, that the students 
 sometimes refer to their club house as 'The Westminster Abbey 
 of Pennsylvania.' This club is the geographical center of the 
 University, and around it revolves the social life of the students. 
 
 CAMPUS AND COLLEGE TOWER FROM WOODLAND AVENUE. 
 
 Here the men of all departments, rich and poor, fraternity and 
 non-fraternity men of all conditions of life and nationalities, meet 
 daily on common ground. This movement also originated at 
 Pennsylvania, and has been one of the most successful factors in 
 fostering a democratic spirit among the students. The Houston 
 Club idea has been taken up by other educational institutions 
 and there are now many similar organizations throughout the 
 country. 
 
4i 
 
 "The next building to our right is the main entrance to the 
 University Hospital; and the next, the Agnew Surgical Pavilion, 
 named in honor of the late D. Hayes Agnew, the eminent American 
 surgeon who was so long connected with the University. The 
 building next to it at the corner is the Surgical Building of the 
 Hospital, and behind it are the dormitories for the Nurses' Training 
 School. 
 
 "To the left is a section of campus showing the rear of College 
 Hall and the Library. The next building to our left is the Light, 
 Heat and Power Station. This station supplies light, heat and

 power to all of the University buildings, and heats about twenty-one 
 million cubic feet of air space. It consumes at times one hundred 
 and twenty-five tons of coal a day. The building to our left (point- 
 ing to the northeast corner of Thirty-fourth and Spruce Streets) is 
 the John Harrison Laboratory of Chemistry — the gift of the former 
 Provost and his brothers. In this building are also the offices of the 
 present Provost, Dr. Edgar F. Smith. 
 
 "The building to the right is a section of the Archaeological 
 Museum of the University. This section was erected in 1897, 
 and the large dome in the rear in 19 14. It is considered one of the 
 
unique buildings of the city. The Museum building when com- 
 pleted will cover twelve acres of ground, and will cost about three 
 million dollars. The section you now see is about one-seventh of 
 the building as it will be. The architecture is the only specimen of 
 its kind in America, and is similar to the style which prevailed in 
 Italy in the thirteenth century. The building contains a very 
 valuable collection of antiquities, among them being the famous 
 clay bricks from Babylon, an American Indian collection, and the 
 earliest known fragments of the Gospel. The statue on the terrace 
 is that of the late Provost William Pepper. In the rear are the 
 grounds for the extension of the University, and the buildings of 
 the Commercial Museums. 
 
 "(Turning up Thirty-third Street.) To the right of us is the 
 Gymnasium and Franklin Field. These also represent an outlay

 of more than a million dollars. The field, which can accommodate 
 about 30,000 people, is the scene of most of Pennsylvania's football, 
 baseball, track and miscellaneous athletic contests, and also for 
 many years has been the scene of the annual football game between 
 the United States Naval and Military Academies. In the Gymna- 
 sium is a swimming pool which extends almost the entire length 
 of the ground floor. 
 
 "The red brick building to our left is old Dental Hall, which 
 housed the most famous dental school in the world, and which 
 attracted many students from foreign countries. In its halls more 
 than 30,000 free treatments and operations were performed annually. 
 The large building directly in front of this is the Engineering Hall. 
 It has a floor area of 128,000 square feet, and houses the Mechanical, 
 Civil and Electrical Engineering Departments.

 "We have now visited most of the important buildings of the 
 University, with the exception of the Astronomical Observatory, 
 the Phipps Institute for the Treatment and Study of Tuberculosis, 
 the Southeastern Dispensary, and the University Neighborhood 
 House. These are located in other parts of the city. What you 
 have seen can give you only a brief insight of the physical equip-

 ment of this great institution. To thoroughly investigate its 
 educational side would take many weeks of close observation, and 
 to learn anything of the students' life, one must live among them. 
 The campus and all the buildings and museums are open to the 
 public from sunrise to sunset, and every visitor is sure of a cordial 
 welcome," 
 
CAMPUS. — The campus of the University covers an area of 
 one hundred and seventeen acres. It is within a few blocks of the 
 geographical center of Philadelphia and can be reached in ten 
 minutes from the City Hall, the center of a population of almost 
 two millions of people. No other educational institution of equal 
 size is located so near to the heart of a great city. The grounds 
 extend from the Schuylkill River at Thirtieth Street on the east 
 to Fortieth Street on the west and from Chestnut Street on the 
 north to near Carpenter Street on the south. The grounds are 
 open to visitors daily, except Sunday, from sunrise to sunset. The 
 University also owns a tract of ground on the West Chester Pike, 
 on which are located the buildings of the Astronomical Observatory; 
 these are open to visitors on Thursday evenings. Arrangements 
 may be made at the office of the Recorder of the University to have 
 parties of visitors taken over the campus and through the principal 
 buildings and museums. 
 
 EQUIPMENT. — There are more than seventy buildings used 
 to carry on the work of the University; of these nineteen are 
 devoted to teaching, eleven to hospitals and auxiliary buildings, 
 thirty dormitory houses, and the remainder to recreation hall, 
 gymnasium, athletics, etc. Not included among these are thirty 
 or forty club and fraternity houses. 
 
 HOUSTON HALL, the students' club house of the University, 
 was erected in 1895 and formally dedicated on January 2, 1896, 
 in memory of Henry Howard Houston, Jr., a graduate of the Class 
 of 1878 College, by his parents, H. H. and S. S. Houston. The 
 building has a frontage on Spruce Street of 150 feet and a depth of 
 78 feet; it is constructed of North Conshohocken and Indiana 
 limestone; and its approximate cost was $250,000; designed by 
 two graduates of the School of Architecture of the University, 
 William C. Hays and M. B. Medary, Jr., in a competition, the 
 first and second prizes being awarded to them. The building is a 
 combination of the two designs, the exterior plans of the second- 
 prize design being used unchanged. The design was developed 
 and the work executed under Frank Miles Day, with Messrs. Hays 
 and Medary as associate architects. The style of architecture is 
 inspired from early Elizabethan examples and may be called 
 "English Collegiate." The building is three stories high and is 
 one of the most spacious and best furnished club houses in Phila- 
 delphia. The interior finish is of quartered oak, in dark brown 
 shades. Supporting the roof of the auditorium on the second floor 
 are trusses of elaborate design, adapted from those in the Great 
 Hall at Eltham Palace, Kent. The device used in a decorative way 
 so frequently is an interweaving of Howard Houston's initials with 
 the Early Christian symbol of "The Lamb of God." 
 
 On the first floor is a spacious lounging or general reception 
 room. In the east wing are writing rooms and a library reading 
 
4 6 
 
 room, in which are kept current magazines and newspapers and a 
 library of the best English literature; the west wing of the first 
 floor and part of the basement are fitted up with billiard and pool 
 tables, supply store, barber shop, etc. The offices of the club, 
 the cloak room, and the University branch of the United States 
 post office are located on the first floor. 
 
 On the second floor is a restaurant, an auditorium with a grand 
 organ, and a suite of three "Trophy Rooms." In the latter are 
 displayed many prizes won in athletic competition, and on the 
 walls are panels and tablets giving the names and records of dis- 
 tinguished athletes. The Christian Association of the University 
 also occupies a suite of rooms on this floor. 
 
 LIBRARY ROOM OF THE HOUSTON CLUB. 
 
 On the third floor are the offices of the Recorder of the University, 
 of Old Penn, the official weekly paper of the University, and a 
 dark room for amateur photographers, and several society rooms 
 in which various student societies hold their monthly meetings. 
 
 The valuable collection of framed photographs, illustrating 
 masterpieces of architecture and sculpture, and representing the 
 various schools of Renaissance painting, was selected and arranged 
 by Mr. Day; while the furniture, rugs, casts, etc., were selected 
 by former Provost Harrison, by Mrs. Harrison and by the architects. 
 
 All regular students upon matriculating become members of the 
 Houston Club. The hall is the scene of many social functions, 
 dances, public lectures, debates, receptions, dinners, etc., during 
 the college season. The University Sunday services and since 
 
47 
 
 19 io, the daily Chapel services, have been held in the auditorium 
 of the Hall. One of the principal objects which the founders of 
 the Houston Club had in view was to weld together into a closer 
 bond of fellowship the great cosmopolitan body of students. This 
 it was thought could be accomplished by providing for their general 
 comfort and welfare, during their leisure hours, a common meeting 
 ground where students of all nationalities and creeds and men of 
 all departments could mingle with each other daily in friendly 
 intercourse. It was an experiment and was the first general student 
 club house of its kind, but so well has it succeeded in accomplishing 
 its manifold purposes and in fostering a democratic spirit among 
 the students, that a large number of American educational institu- 
 tions have since established similar club houses. The Houston 
 Club idea has become a movement which is gradually being adopted 
 in colleges and universities both here and abroad, and its influence 
 has become world wide. Because of the many memorials to alumni 
 which decorate the walls and panels of the Houston Club the build- 
 ing is frequently referred to by Provost Smith and the students as 
 the "Westminster Abbey of Pennsylvania."

 The Evening School of Accounts and Finance of this Univer-

 And in witness of the affection and regard towards him 
 of the First President of the United States (LL.D., 1783, Univ. 
 of Pa.), the following letter, for the inspiration of all future 
 generations, is here recited: 
 Honble Robt Morris. 
 Dear Sir, 
 
 Knowing full well the multiplicity & importance of yr busi- 
 ness, it would give me more pain than pleasure if I thought your 
 friendship, or respect for me did, in the smallest degree, interfere 
 with it — At all times I shall be happy to see you, but wish it 
 to be in your moments of leisure — if any such you have. 
 
 Mrs. Washington, myself and family, will have the honor 
 of dining with you in the way proposed, to-morrow — being Christ- 
 mas Day. 
 
 I am Sincerely & Affectly 
 Yrs 
 Monday 24th Go Washington.

 THE DORMITORY HOUSES.— The group of dormitory houses 
 when completed will enclose the five courtyards known as the 
 "Little Quad," "The Triangle," "The Big Quad," the "East 
 Quad" and the "South Quad". Although thirty houses have 
 thus far been constructed in these "Quads," there are still a number 
 of dormitories and a dining hall to be erected along the Hamilton 
 Walk side of the system before the "Quads" will be completely 
 enclosed. 
 
 The dormitories were designed by Cope and Stewardson, and 
 are mostly in the English Collegiate style, with Elizabethan detail, 
 and with their spacious courtyards strongly suggest the Oxford 
 and Cambridge colleges; while the carved bosses in the main 
 cornices are reminiscent of the Gothic period in architecture. The 
 architecture of the buildings enclosing the "South Quad" differs 
 somewhat from the Jacobean surroundings of the main portion of 
 the dormitory buildings, having a Tudor atmosphere, the lime- 
 stone trimmings and overhanging eaves being no longer in evidence. 
 The hard burnt brick which forms the principal material of all the 
 dormitory houses is of the same uniform color as that used in 
 other later University buildings, with which they are in keeping 
 in general style, giving a pleasing architectural effect to the entire 
 University group of buildings constructed within the last decade. 
 The dormitory houses are on the separate staircase system, and 
 all outer doors open into the courtyards. Those in the "Triangle" 
 and the "Little Quad" are entered through the Memorial Tower 
 archway; while those in the "Big," "South" and "East" Quads 
 (which occupy the site of the old athletic field) are entered through 
 the archway of the Provosts' Tower. Other beautiful archways 
 and arcades give ready access to the various Quads. 
 
 The thirty-one dormitory houses have accommodations for 
 more than a thousand students. The names of the houses are 
 carved on tablets over the entrance doors and the houses are named 
 after distinguished alumni or benefactors. The rooms and halls 
 
62 
 
 are heated by steam and lighted by electricity. On every floor 
 there are a number of lavatories with hot and cold shower baths. 
 Practically all of the suites and double rooms and many of the 
 single rooms have open fireplaces. The University supplies for 
 each student: bedstead, mattress, bureau, washstand, table, book- 
 case, chairs, and toilet china. In the more recently constructed 
 dormitories there are stationary washstands with hot and cold 
 water, double pedestal desks, dome electroliers, private telephone, 
 etc. There are five kinds of rooms, viz., single, single suite, double, 
 double suite, and triple suite. The minimum cost of a room in the 
 dormitories is $55.00 per year. All students are treated alike. 
 Those in the more expensive rooms have no privilege or service 
 which is not shared by the poorest student. 
 
 Among the points of interest to visitors are: 
 
 Class of '92 Memorial Fountain, by Alexander Calder, sculptor 
 (east arcade). 
 
 Class of '94 Memorial Gate (Memorial Tower gate). 
 
 Class of '98 Memorial Clock (over west arcade). 
 
 Class of 'oo Memorial Sun Dial (in the "Little Quad"). 
 
 The Terrace (east of Bodine and Morris). 
 
 Site of proposed Dining Hall (south of Morris). 
 
 The rich carvings over doors, especially the grotesque "bosses" 
 of the string course between the second and third floors.

 Faculty Tea Club, the latter consisting of the wives of faculty 
 members, also have quarters in the house.

 MRS. JOHN EWING (Copy by R. T. Furness, from miniature in possession 
 of Miss Foote), wife of the second Provost of the University. Presented by Mr.

 THE COLLEGE.— This is the oldest department of the Uni- 
 versity and the third oldest College in the United States. It had 
 its origin in the Charity School which was founded in 1 740, although 
 instruction was not actually begun until 1751. It originally included 
 most of the courses now given except those in the Law, Medical, 
 Dental, Veterinary and Graduate Schools. In 19 12, the College 
 was separated into three schools, viz., the College, the Towne 
 Scientific School, and the Wharton School of Finance and Com- 
 merce. In the former are now included the courses in Arts and 
 Science, Biology and Music, also the Summer School and Courses 
 for Teachers. The other two schools include many subjects of the 
 Arts course. Every candidate for a college degree must take sixty 
 units of class room or laboratory work. A certain number of courses 
 are required, others may be elected in certain prescribed groups, 
 while still others are free electives. The system is so elastic that 
 after the student has taken the twenty-eight units of required 
 work, he may practically elect the remainder. The courses lead 
 to the degree of A.B. and B.S. 
 
 In 1914 there were 2,008 students in the College, and 159 members 
 of the faculty. 
 
 Most of the instruction in the Arts and Science course is given 
 in College Hall, a picturesque ivy-covered building, and the oldest 
 on the campus. 
 
 COLLEGE HALL is the third home of the College; the first 
 was at Fourth and Arch Streets, and the second at Ninth and 
 Chestnut Streets (where the Post Office now stands). College 
 Hall was designed by Professor Thomas W. Richards of the Uni- 
 versity Faculty, and is in a style reminiscent of Italian Gothic; 
 it was erected in 1871. It is built with serpentine rock and has 
 a frontage of 256 feet along the Woodland Avenue campus, and 
 
72 
 
 a depth of 136 feet. It contains class and lecture rooms for such 
 general courses as English, Mathematics, History, Languages, etc., 
 and also houses, for the present, the School of Architecture. The 
 laboratories of Geology and Psychology are in the basement. The 
 General University offices and the office of the Dean of the College 
 are to the right and left of the entrance on the first floor; the 
 Museum of Geology on first floor center. The hall formerly used 
 as a chapel on the second floor is now an architectural drafting 
 room. The School of Architecture (with permanent exhibits of 
 drawings of interest to visitors) is on the third floor. The rooms 
 of the Philomathean and Zelosophic Societies are on the fourth 
 floor, center. The "ivy tablets" on the front of the building are 
 interesting. Each graduating class of the College plants an ivy 
 and erects a tablet; most of these are planted near College Hall, 
 although others will be found on Houston Hall, at the Library, 
 and at the dormitories. 
 
 On the campus in front of College Hall and the Library are a 
 number of memorial trees. Among them is a scion of the Penn 
 Treaty Elm, which was presented by Gen. P. A. Oliver and planted 
 for the Pennsylvania Forestry Association by Gov. Daniel H. 
 Hastings on April 10, 1896; around this tree the Class of 1899 
 College has erected an iron fence. 
 
 Near by is a red oak tree planted by the members of the Class 
 of 1868 College as a memorial to their class. 
 
 To the west of the main walk, leading to Thirty-fourth Street 
 and Woodland Avenue, is a scion of the Charter Oak, planted as 
 a memorial by the members of the Class of 1866 Medicine. The 
 tree is an offshoot of the historic Charter Oak which stood in 
 Hartford, Conn., into the hollow of which the charter of the Colony 
 of Connecticut was hidden more than two centuries ago when 
 King James II ordered the charter revoked.

 The stained glass memorial windows which were formerly in the 
 Chapel were removed during the summer of 19 10 and stored in 
 the basement of the Dormitories. This was made necessary to 
 make room for the Architectural Department, the Chapel having 
 been transformed into a drafting room. It is expected that these 
 memorial windows will add charm to a permanent Chapel to be 
 built upon the campus in the near future.

 Board of Trustees relates that on August 4, 1790, Mr. Ritten- 
 house presented this "very valuable timepiece, which he had 
 put up in the Provost's room." The clock was moved in 1802 
 to the University buildings on Ninth Street, where it stood 
 for years in the room of Professor John Fries Frazer. In 
 1872 it was transferred to the present College Hall, where it 
 remained for twenty years, until finally placed in its present

 THE JOHN HARRISON LABORATORY OF CHEMISTRY 
 
 was the gift of Charles Custis Harrison, Alfred C. Harrison, and 
 W. W. Harrison. The laboratory was named for their grandfather, 
 John Harrison. The building was dedicated in 1894 and designed 
 by Cope and Stewardson, It shows the broad, projecting eaves 
 and other characteristics of brick architecture in the Italian 
 Renaissance style. The building has a frontage on Thirty-fourth 
 Street of 170 feet and a depth on Spruce Street of 160 feet. It is 
 one of the best equipped chemical laboratories in America. It is 
 three stories high. On the first floor is a large laboratory for general 
 
93 
 
 and analytical electrochemistry, an electric furnace room, assay 
 room, room for heating under pressure, assay balance room, 
 laboratory for technical chemistry, the offices of the department, 
 storage rooms, etc. There is also a large amphitheatre seating 300 
 persons. On the second floor are two large laboratories, qualita- 
 tive and quantitative, hydrogen sulphide rooms, a dark room, a 
 spectroscope room, gas analysis and reading rooms, lecture rooms, 
 a museum and private research rooms. On the third floor are an 
 organic laboratory, a combustion room, and several private 
 research laboratories. The office of the Provost, Dr. Edgar F. 
 Smith, is on the first floor, south of the entrance. 
 
 THE RANDAL MORGAN LABORATORY OF PHYSICS. 
 
 On the first landing of the main staircase is a portrait of: 
 
 JOHN HARRISON (by I. L. Williams, after Peale), Eminent scientist and 
 Pioneer Chemical Manufacturer in America for whom the Laboratory was named. 
 The portrait was presented by Provost Charles C. Harrison. 
 
 THE RANDAL MORGAN LABORATORY OF PHYSICS — 
 
 These buildings and an endowment of $250,000 are the gifts of 
 Randal Morgan of the Class of '73, and a Trustee of the University. 
 The buildings face Thirty-fourth Street below Walnut Street. 
 
94 
 
 They are constructed of red brick, are three stories high, and were 
 designed by Cope and Stewardson, in the style of the brick archi- 
 tecture of the Italian Renaissance. The one is 60 by 80 feet, and 
 the other 67 by 45, with a wing 23 by 49 feet. The Laboratory is 
 amply equipped with physical apparatus, including several valu- 
 able pieces for work of research in heat, radiation, and in electricity 
 and magnetism. A shop and tool-room, fitted with all the latest 
 devices, is located in the basement, east side, while the west side 
 is occupied by an air liquefier and other research apparatus. On 
 the first floor are the practical laboratories; on the second, the 
 lecture and class rooms; and on the third, nine rooms for special 
 research. The cabinet for lecture and illustration is particularly 
 well furnished. In the museum is a large collection of original 
 material and relics bearing upon the early history of the telephone 
 and other scientific instruments. 
 
 THE ZOOLOGICAL LABORATORY is located along the south 
 side of Hamilton Walk, Thirty-ninth Street entrance. The build- 
 ing was erected in 1910, and was occupied in the fall of 191 1. It 
 was designed by Cope and Stewardson. The total cost of build- 
 ing and equipment was about $300,000. It is constructed of hard 
 burnt brick and Indiana limestone; is fireproof throughout and 
 is T-shaped with the longer arm of 204 feet extending east and 
 west along Hamilton Walk, and a shorter south wing extending 
 back from the rear and connected by an animal breeding house 
 with the Vivarium. The architecture is of the English Collegiate 
 style of the middle of the seventeenth century, and is in harmony 
 with the Medical Building to the east of it. The Laboratory was 
 built so as to give a large amount of north light necessary for micro- 
 scopic work, as well as a minimum of hall space. An auditorium 
 is on the southwest at the junction of the two wings, with a student 
 entrance from each hall. It will accommodate more than three 
 hundred students. 
 
 The building is three stories high over a basement. The library 
 consists of a large room at the west end of the first floor. 
 
 The laboratory rooms were designed on the modern unit system, 
 the rooms being twenty feet deep, so as to provide sufficient light, 
 and each room measuring twenty feet by eleven and a half, with 
 one large window. The teaching laboratories comprise either 
 two of these units or three of them, with windows. No laboratories 
 are larger than three units, each three-unit laboratory accommo- 
 dating twenty-four students, which is the maximum one instructor 
 can direct at one time. 
 
 On the first floor are four laboratories for the course in General 
 Zoology; synoptical museum; a laboratory for Economic Ento- 
 mology, with rooms for insect collections and insect breeding. 
 
 On the second floor are two laboratories for Vertebrate Anatomy, 
 next to a Vertebrate Museum, and a laboratory for advanced courses 
 
96 
 
 in the subject. There are also two laboratories for Histology 
 adjacent to reagent and microtome rooms. 
 
 On the third floor is a suite of laboratories for general and advanced 
 courses in Physiology, with convenient breeding rooms and a large 
 space for photography and work with ultra-violet rays. Consider- 
 able space is devoted to culture and breeding purposes on each 
 floor; there are two special museums, one used as a teaching collec- 
 tion and the other as a storage collection. 
 
 BIOLOGICAL HALL. 
 
 In the basement are constant temperature and cold storage 
 rooms, machine shop, ventilating plant, and a coat room for 
 students. Twenty private rooms are at the disposal of special 
 investigators. It is considered the best working laboratory in the 
 country for its subject. The building contains many famous col- 
 lections, among them the Pennock-Wheatly collection of slides, 
 the Leidy collection of parasites, the Hyrtl-Cope osteological col- 
 lection, and a zoological library of more than five thousand volumes, 
 
including the Leidy-Ryder-Cope collection. In four medallions 
 on the sides and front of the building have been cut the following 
 words: Unity, Truth, Wisdom, Humanity. 
 
 On panels on the front elevation, under the copings appear the 
 following names: 
 
 COPE — LEIDY 
 Lamarck Darwin Huxley 
 
 Reaumur Bernard J. Mueller 
 
 Harvey Aristotle Malpighi 
 
 Schwann Von Baer Agassiz 
 
 Cuvier Ray Linnaeus 
 
 A seal of the University adorns the medallion over the main 
 entrance.

 sented by his friends in 1912. 
 
 BOTANICAL HALL faces Hamilton Walk, behind the Uni- 
 versity Dormitories. The building, which is rather plain and which 
 has little merit from an architectural viewpoint, is beautifully 
 overgrown with ivy. It was erected in 1884, and consists of three 
 floors and a basement. It has a frontage of 80 feet and a depth 
 of 45 feet. It contains classrooms, herbarium room with more 
 than 60,000 sheets of plants, the Botanical Library with about 
 3,000 volumes and the Bartram Memorial Library. 
 
 THE BOTANIC GARDENS were established in 1894. There 
 are eleven greenhouses containing 2,000 species and varieties of 
 plants, also a physiological plant laboratory. The gardens cover 
 four acres, and contain about 1,600 species of plants. 
 
 The beautiful lily and lotus ponds and the winding paths are 
 among the most attractive features of the Campus. The gardens 
 give splendid facilities for staging open-air plays, one or two of 
 which are given every year. 
 
 The gardens and buildings are open to visitors from sunrise to 
 sunset. 
 
 THE VIVARIUM was established in 1898 and is located along 
 Hamilton Walk, and connects the Zoological Building with Botanical 
 Hall. It has fresh and salt water aquaria containing a great variety 
 of marine and fresh water animals; houses for animals, and experi- 
 mental rooms. This was the first vivarium ever connected with 
 any educational institution.

 HAMILTON WALK is one of the most beautiful stretches on 
 the University Campus, occupying the former site of Pine Street, 
 from Thirty-fourth to Thirty-eighth Streets; along the north side 
 are the Dormitories and the "Old Athletic Field;" on the south 
 the Zoological Laboratory, the Medical Laboratories, Botanical 
 Hall, the Vivarium and the Botanic Gardens; at the Thirty-eighth 
 Street entrance is the Class of 1873 Memorial Gate.

 On a sago palm in one of the greenhouses of the Botanical 
 Department is a brass tablet inscribed: 
 
 I was born about one hundred and fifty years ago in "The 
 Land of the Rising Sun," where they named me SAGOBEI 
 SHURO, but here I am known as SAGO PALM, while botanists 
 call me CYCAS REVOLUTA. 
 
 I lived in peace among my fellows till about five years ago, 
 when some of the skilled gardeners of my native land severed 
 my roots, removed my leafy crown and packed me up like a 
 mummy; then they sent me across the wide waters to an enter- 
 prising firm named Dreer, in this great "Land of the Setting Sun." 
 Here I lived till a botanist from the shrines of learning in this 
 city of Brotherly Love revered my age, genealogy & stature, and 
 so desired to have me. 
 
 By the generosity of Mrs. James McManes I was secured for 
 my present abode, where by kind treatment I have regained my 
 old dignity and leafy crown. Though far from my native home, 
 I can survey the wonders of this great institution & exclaim: "I 
 am the oldest living being in the University." Nay, more, when 
 those who now serve it are gathered to their sires, I hope still 
 to be green and flourishing.

 THE FLOWER ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY is situated 
 on the "Flower Farm," on the West Chester Pike, two miles from 
 Sixty-third and Market Streets. The Observatory buildings were 
 designed by Edgar V. Seeler, and constructed in 1895; they are 
 three in number; the equatorial building of brick; the meridian 
 building of wood; and the residence of the director and the Astor- 
 nomical Library. Among the principal instruments are an Equa- 
 torial Telescope of eighteen inches aperture, Meridian Circle, Transit 
 Instrument Reflex Zenith, Tube Chronometers, Chronograph, etc. 
 The cost of the building and equipment was over $50,000. The 
 fund for building and maintenance was provided by the late Reese 
 Wall Flower, of Philadelphia.

 THE TOWNE SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL was founded by John 
 Henry Towne, a Trustee of the University of Pennsylvania from 
 1873 to 1875, who in 1875 by his will bequeathed a large sum of 
 money for the purpose of endowing the Department of Science 
 of the College. The Board of Trustees, in recognition of Mr. Towne's 
 generosity, named the Scientific Department of the College the 
 "Towne Scientific School." The scientific courses, however, had 
 been given in the College since 1852, when the first professorship 
 
 SCENE IN BOTANIC GARDEN. 
 
 in Civil and Mining Engineering was established in a department 
 of the College known as the "Department of Mines, Arts and 
 Manufactures." Still later it was known as the "College of Agri- 
 culture, Mines, Arts and Mechanic Arts." In 1872, five separate 
 courses were announced in the Department of Science, viz. : Chem- 
 istry, Metallurgy, Geology, Mining, Civil and Mechanical Engineer- 
 ing. After the Department of Science became the Towne Scientific 
 School in 1875 the scope was broadened very materially. A course 
 in Drawing and Architecture and a general course in Science were 
 added. In 1891 the regular four-year courses in Civil, Mechanical 
 and Electrical Engineering, Chemistry and Architecture were 
 established, and in the following year the course in Chemical 
 
idi 
 
 Engineering was added. These courses were still given in the Towne 
 Scientific School, as a part of the College, until 1912, when the 
 School was made independent with its own faculty and dean. In 
 1906 the Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Depart- 
 ments moved into the new Engineering Building, while the Archi- 
 tectural Department remained in the College Hall and the Chemical 
 Engineering Department in the Harrison Laboratory. 
 
 THE FLOWER ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY. 
 
 Since 1891 the growth of the School has been quite remarkable, 
 the attendance having increased from 313 to 914, with a teaching 
 staff of 165. 
 
 To meet the needs of such students as may desire a general 
 college education before taking up scientific work, the courses are 
 so arranged as to enable students to take the first two years of 
 academic work and combine the last two with the first two years 
 in the Towne Scientific School, get their degrees and complete 
 their courses in the latter in two additional years, thus completing 
 the combined courses in six years.

 The offices of the Dean, and the Civil, Electrical and Mechanical 
 Engineering Departments are housed in the Engineering Building. 
 Other buildings partly used by the Towne Scientific School for 
 various courses are the Harrison Laboratory of Chemistry, the 
 Randal Morgan Laboratory of Physics, College Hall, and the 
 Library. 
 
 THE ENGINEERING BUILDING is located at Thirty-third 
 and Locust Streets and houses the Civil, Electrical and Mechanical 
 Engineering Departments. It faces south and is parallel with 
 Dental Hall; ground was broken August 12, 1903, and the building 
 dedicated October 19, 1906. It has a frontage of 300 feet and a 
 depth of 160 feet, besides a large wing 50 feet square extending 
 from the rear. Its cost is estimated at $750,000. The building 
 was designed by Cope and Stewardson. While the general archi- 
 tectural treatment is in the English Georgian school and in accord 
 with the keynote given by the Dormitories and later University 
 buildings, it is in a quieter vein. It is fireproof throughout, while 
 the equipment is of the most modern and approved type. The 
 exterior is of dark brick with limestone trimmings. There are 
 three stories, with a basement covering a third of the entire area. 
 There is a total floor area of 128,000 square feet. It is the largest 
 on the Campus and the best equipped building of its kind. The 
 heating is by direct steam, the ventilation by electrically driven 
 fans, and the lighting by electricity. There are two principal 
 entrances leading to the main hallway, which extends east and west 
 the entire length of the building to staircases at both extremities. 
 Large light-wells terminate in skylights over the main floor. The 
 basement contains locker-rooms, lavatories, machinery for heating 
 and ventilating, storage battery rooms, laboratories for geodetic 
 and hydraulic work, and for the testing of the materials of con- 
 struction. On the first floor, adjacent to the main entrance, are 
 the offices of the heads of departments. Accommodation is also 
 provided for physical and hydraulic testing, instrument testing 
 and for special work in mechanical and electrical engineering. 
 Rooms are likewise set aside for dynamos and electric motors, 
 steam and gas engines, refrigerating apparatus, hydraulic motors, 
 boiler testing, pattern making, wood and iron working, foundry 
 and machine shops, etc. On the second floor is a reference library 
 and reading room, a students' assembly room, rooms for use of 
 instructors and for lectures and recitations. The rear portion of 
 this floor is devoted almost wholly to drawing rooms. A room 
 for the use of the engineering societies, a general supply store, 
 and the library stack occupy the middle portion. In the east and 
 west wings ample space is assigned to the engineering museums, 
 while the rear of this floor is set aside exclusively for additional 
 drawing rooms, which, like those just beneath, have the full 
 advantage of a north light.

 of the Towne Scientific School in the University of Pennsylvania. 
 
 LIGHT, HEAT AND POWER PLANT.— The central plant is 
 located at the northwest corner of Thirty-fourth and Spruce Streets. 
 It consists of two buildings, which were dedicated on May 26, 
 1893, both constructed of dark red brick with brownstone trim- 
 mings. The one is 56 by 200 feet, with a fourteen-foot driveway 
 on Thirty -fourth Street, under which are the coal bins; and the 
 
107 
 
 other is 109 by 49 feet. The buildings were designed by Wilson 
 Brothers, architects. Both buildings are one story high, and are 
 connected with each other by a thirteen-foot shed. The building 
 to the west was originally four stories high and was used by the 
 Mechanical Engineering Department from 1893 to 1906, when it 
 was partially destroyed by fire. 
 
 These buildings contain ten boilers of about 3,000 horse power, 
 and five engines of 625 horse power. The plant supplies light and 
 heat to all University buildings except the Museum, Evans Dental 
 Institute, Phipps Institute, Wistar Institute, and the Gymnasium. 
 It furnishes light for about 37,000 incandescent Carbon lamps of 
 16 c. p., or about 89,000 Tungsten lamps of 25 watts each; it heats 
 an air space of 21,000,000 cubic feet, or approximately that of 500 
 large three-story dwellings. During the winter months the plant 
 consumes as much as one hundred and twenty-five tons of coal a 
 day, about 21,000 tons being used annually. 
 
 THE ARCHITECTURAL SCHOOL is still a department of the 
 Towne Scientific School, but its prominence in the profession 
 entitles it to elevation to the dignity of a separate organization. 
 Organized in 1890 with an enrollment of seven students, it has 
 grown under its present head into a school of 259 students and 
 a faculty of 23 instructors and 15 special lecturers, so that it is 
 now as a special school second in importance as well as in numbers 
 only to the Ecole des Beaux Arts of Paris. In no department of 
 the University can be found the "esprit de corps" of faculty and 
 students more pronounced. The influence of its graduates is being 
 felt in all parts of the country, and its students and graduates in 
 the past few years have won more competitive prizes, scholarships, 
 traveling fellowships, etc., than those of all other American schools 
 combined. 
 
 All this has been accomplished notwithstanding its cramped 
 quarters in College Hall and in the wooden "Studio" (the old 
 Dining Hall) Building. In College Hall it occupies the entire third 
 floor, and the old chapel, on the second floor. The library, drafting 
 rooms and studio are open to the public. 
 
 THE WHARTON SCHOOL OF FINANCE AND COMMERCE 
 
 was founded in 1881 by the late Joseph Wharton, for the purpose 
 of giving a college training to young men preparing to engage in 
 business, banking, law, or the public service. Like the Towne 
 Scientific School, it began as a part of the College and in 19 12 it 
 was given recognition as a separate school with a dean of its own. 
 It was originally known as the Wharton School of Finance and 
 Economy, but later, the word "Economy" in the title was changed 
 to "Commerce." 
 
 _ Mr. Wharton, in endowing this school, returned to the utilitarian 
 views of education which Franklin advocated in his "Proposals" 
 
109 
 
 which led to the founding of the University. Both believed in 
 giving instructions to students in the subjects more closely related 
 to their respective callings in life. So successfully have the ideas 
 of the founder been followed, that similar schools have since been 
 established in many universities both here and abroad. In 1894, 
 the four-year curriculum and a new grouping system were established. 
 Since this time the progress of the School has been rapid; Mr. 
 Wharton increased his endowment by a half million dollars. The 
 school now has an enrolment of 1,803, and a teaching staff of 54. 
 The course of four years leads to the degree of B.S. in Economics. 
 In 1904, The Evening School of Finance and Accounts was added 
 to the Wharton School, and in 19 13, similar extension schools were 
 opened in the cities of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre by the Wharton 
 School Faculty. The courses in all three of these schools at the 
 end of the year lead to a certificate of proficiency. The work offered 
 is chiefly advanced work in financial and commercial subjects. 
 
 LOGAN HALL, the present home of the Wharton School of 
 Finance and Commerce, is located on the east side of Thirty-sixth 
 Street above Spruce Street. The building was designed by Thomas 
 W. Richards and was constructed for the Medical School in 1874 
 and occupied by that department and known as Medical Hall 
 until 1904, when it was turned over to the Wharton School which 
 had long since outgrown its accommodations in College Hall. The 
 building has a frontage of 160 feet along Thirty-sixth Street and 
 a depth of 89 feet, and is built of green serpentine stone. In 1905, 
 it was named "Logan Hall" in honor of James Logan, one of the 
 founders of the University. In Logan Hall, in the office, is a Chinese 
 motto, presented to Mr. Joseph Wharton by His Excellency, the 
 Chinese Minister, Sir Chengtung Lian Cheng. Translated, the 
 motto reads: 
 
 "The scholar (or student) who consults his ease is not worthy 
 to be called a scholar (or student)." 
 
 WHARTON SCHOOL BUILDING (contemplated). As the 
 School has long since outgrown its quarters in Logan Hall, it has 
 been the hope of many for years that the future home of the School 
 would soon be in a building to be erected on a lot on Woodland 
 Avenue opposite the Wistar Institute, and running through to 
 Locust Street. It is now used for tennis courts. The new building 
 designed to be erected upon this lot will have a frontage of 150 feet 
 on Woodland Avenue, and about 250 feet on Locust Street, its 
 depth being about 302 feet. The new building is to cost about 
 $250,000. Cope and Stewardson have prepared the plans; the 
 architecture will be similar in general style to that of the other 
 recently erected buildings.

 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL had its beginning in 1882, when 
 some post-graduate work in science was given in the Auxiliary 
 Department of Medicine, and on November 14, 1882, the Trustees 
 established the Department of Philosophy by which title the 
 Graduate School was originally known. The first faculty numbered 
 fifteen professors in fourteen subjects. The first of the students 
 were enrolled in 1885. It now offers advanced instruction in 
 various branches of literature and science to students holding a 
 baccalaureate degree in Arts, Letters, Philosophy or in Pure or 
 Applied Science. The faculty includes one hundred and seventeen 
 professors and lecturers, and four hundred and seventy students 
 are enrolled. 
 
 In 1895, Provost Harrison established a most generous system 
 of fellowships and scholarships, thirty-three in number, by giving 
 the sum of $500,000 to endow the George Leib Harrison Founda- 
 tion. Besides these there are numerous other fellowships and 
 scholarships. The courses lead to the degrees of Master of Arts 
 and Doctor of Philosophy. While the administration offices are 
 located in College Hall, instruction is given in the Library and 
 other buildings connected with the College, Wharton School and 
 the Towne Scientific School. 
 
 A GRADUATE SCHOOL BUILDING.— Plans have been pre- 
 pared for the construction of the first section of a spacious building 
 to be devoted entirely to the needs of the Graduate School. The 
 building will be similar, in style of architecture, to the Engineering 
 Building. The portion of the building about to be constructed will 
 cost in the neighborhood of $300,000 and will contain a library, 
 seminar room,s, and rooms for the social and physical comfort of 
 women students. The additional wings to the building are to be 
 completed as they are needed. The site selected for the new 
 structure is at the southeast corner of Thirty-fourth and Walnut 
 Streets, where the buildings formerly known as "Bennett Hall" 
 now stand. 
 
 THE MEDICAL SCHOOL was founded on May 3, 1765, when 
 the Board of Trustees of the Academy elected Dr. John Morgan, 
 a graduate of the first college class, to the Professorship of the 
 Theory and Practice of Physics, he having just returned from 
 Edinburgh, where he had finished his medical education. This 
 was the first medical professorship created in North America. The 
 first class was graduated three years later, in 1768. The school 
 has had an uninterrupted existence for almost 150 years, and when 
 the founder delivered his opening lecture, he little dreamed that 
 his prophecy would be fulfilled so soon, and so much better than 
 he dared to hope when he said, "Perhaps this medical institution, 
 the first of its kind in America, though small in its beginning, may 
 receive a constant increase of strength, and annually exert new 
 vigor. It may collect a number of young persons, of more than 
 
ordinary abilities, and so improve their knowledge as to spread 
 its reputation to distant parts. By sending these abroad duly 
 qualified, or by exciting an emulation amongst men of parts and 
 literature, it may give birtb to other useful institutions of a similar 
 nature, or occasional rise, by its example, to numerous societies 
 of different kinds, calculated to spread the light of knowledge through 
 the whole American continent, wherever inhabited." 
 
 The school has led the medical profession, and its courses have 
 attracted students not only "through the whole American conti- 
 nent," but from all parts of the world. It has had connected with 
 its faculty, and numbers among its graduates, many men who 
 have been recognized the world over for their scientific achieve- 
 ments and discoveries. The school has gone through many vicissi- 
 tudes and so large have been its classes in the past that it frequently 
 found itself cramped for space. This was so even during the 
 early days at Fourth and Arch Streets, when lectures had to be 
 given in Anatomical Hall and also in the rooms of the American 
 Philosophical Society, both located in Independence Square. When 
 the University, in 1802, moved to Ninth and Chestnut Streets, 
 it shared with the College the old Presidential Mansion, and upon 
 the demolition of this building in 1829, it received a building of 
 its own on the same site, which it occupied until 1874, when it 
 removed to its new building in West Philadelphia, now known 
 as Logan Hall. In 1904, the principal departments of the Medical 
 School moved into its present quarters in the new Medical Labora- 
 tories. Its wonderful history and traditions cannot even be touched 
 upon in these pages. The school has always been a leader, and 
 within a few years its progressive policy has led the faculty to 
 raise the standards for entrance and in course higher than those of 
 any other school. While this action has greatly reduced the size 
 of the classes, the quality of the work done by the students has 
 amply justified it. The school has 284 registered in the four classes. 
 The teaching staff numbers 171. The buildings connected with 
 the Medical School are more numerous than those of any other 
 department. Besides the main building, there is the Wistar Insti- 
 tute of Anatomy, the Robert Hare Laboratory of Chemistry, the 
 Laboratory of Hygiene, the Zoological Building, Phipps Institute 
 for the Study of Tuberculosis, and the Hospital system, which 
 includes the Main Hospital Building, the Agnew Surgical Pavilion, 
 the Clinical Building, Gibson Wing for Chronic Diseases, the 
 William Pepper Laboratory, Maternity Building, the new Surgical 
 Building, Nurses' Home, Mortuary, Chapel, Laundry and Isolation 
 Building. Besides these, the Philadelphia Hospital, which adjoins 
 the University, is used daily for clinics and ward instruction. 
 
 THE LABORATORY BUILDING OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOL 
 
 was dedicated June 10, 1904. The building faces the south side 
 of Hamilton Walk, west of Thirty-sixth Street, occupying the site 
 
H3 
 
 where stood the old buildings of the Veterinary Department and 
 Hospitals. The structure is fireproof throughout, the exterior 
 is oi hard burnt brick and buff Indiana limestone, and the interior 
 is finished in white Italian marble. The building has a frontage 
 of 337 feet along Hamilton Walk, and a depth of 192 feet; it is 
 two stories above a high basement, and cost almost $700,000. It 
 is quadrangular in shape and constructed around a courtyard so 
 as to give all the large laboratories and research rooms a north 
 light. The building is one of the largest and best equipped of its 
 kind in America. The architecture is in the English Collegiate 
 style of the Middle Seventeenth Century, and is in harmony with' 
 that of the dormitories and other recently erected buildings designed 
 by Cope and Stewardson. The main offices of the school are on 
 the second floor of the tower. 
 
 There are two large amphitheatres in the rear of the building 
 with a seating capacity of 400 each, and two large demonstration 
 rooms, seating 185 each. The Departments of Physiology, Medical 
 Research, and Pharmacodynamics occupy the first floor and base- 
 ment, while the second floor is devoted to pathology and normal 
 histology with accommodations for a number of professors of other 
 departments, until the completion of future building operations 
 looking towards the transfer of several of the departments to build- 
 ings adjacent to this one. Among the principal rooms are those 
 devoted to pharmacy, bandaging, research, obstetrics, physio- 
 logical chemistry, museums of anatomy and applied anatomy in 
 the basement. On the first floor are rooms equipped for aseptic 
 operations on lower animals; small rooms for research work, pro- 
 fessors and assistants; rooms for sub-section teaching, in digestion, 
 circulation, respiration, calorimetry, nerve, muscle, special senses, 
 etc.; and photographic dark room, machine shop, and storage 
 rooms, etc. On this floor are three large laboratories for physiology, 
 practical pharmacodynamics and medical research, respectively; 
 a library, and rooms for assistants. The chief purpose of the second 
 floor is for laboratory instruction in pathology. Most of the north 
 front of the building is devoted to laboratories for advanced students 
 in experimental pathology, office of the Professor of Anatomy, 
 and the special research and assistants' rooms. The east wing 
 accommodates the laboratory of comparative pathology in tropical 
 medicine; the west wing is occupied by the pathological museum, 
 the Gross morbid anatomy demonstration room, and rooms for 
 animal operations. The front of the laboratory of pathological 
 histology consists almost entirely of glass and is located so as to 
 face a spacious court to the north, thus insuring excellent and 
 uniform light and admirably adapting it for microscopic week, 
 In a similar section of the building, east of the central hall, with 
 similar front arrangements to insure light for microscopic work, 
 are located two small laboratories for the teaching of surgical 
 pathology, n euro-pathology and clinical pathological technology: 
 the private rooms for the instructors of these branches open upon 
 these larger laboratories.

 ROBERT HARE LABORATORY OF CHEMISTRY is located 
 at the northeast corner of Thirty-sixth and Spruce Streets. It 
 was built in 1877, and was named in honor of Dr. Robert Hare, 
 who was Professor of Chemistry in the Medical School from 1818 
 to 1848. The material used in its construction is green serpentine 
 
stone. The building has a frontage of 148 feet and a depth of 46 
 feet. The architect was Professor Thomas W. Richards. The 
 first two floors are occupied by the general Chemical Laboratories 
 of the Department of Medicine; and the third floor by the Labora- 
 tory of Physiological Chemistry. 
 
 THE ANATOMICAL LABORATORY is 140 feet in length by 
 40 feet in width. It is lighted by windows on all sides, and by 
 skylights, and has the most perfect ventilation. The cadavers 
 furnished the dissecting-room are preserved by refrigeration. 
 
 On the south wall is a brass tablet inscribed as follows:

 THE LABORATORY OF HYGIENE, located at Thirty-fourth 
 and Locust Streets, was dedicated February 22, 1892. A new wing 
 and a detached animal house were added in 1899. 
 
 The main building has a frontage on Thirty-fourth Street of 121 
 feet, and a depth, with the wing, of 112 feet. The material is of 
 red brick with brownstone trimmings laid in red mortar. The 
 architects were Collins and Autenreith. On the main floor is a 
 lecture hall and amphitheatre for classes in practical hygiene, a 
 museum, a drafting room, etc.; second floor, class-rooms for special 
 graduate and undergraduate students in bacteriology; bacterio- 
 logical laboratory, director's rooms, photographic room, and the 
 department library of 1,000 volumes. The building is the gift of 
 the late Henry C. Lea; and the equipment of the late Henry C. 
 Gibson. 
 
 THE WISTAR INSTITUTE OF ANATOMY occupies the tri- 
 angular plot of land owned by the Institute and bounded by 
 Woodland Avenue, Spruce Street and Thirty-sixth Street. The 
 institution was founded in 1892 for exhibition and extension of the 
 Wistar and Horner Museums, begun in 1808, and for research 
 work in anatomy, and is the first University Institute devoted 
 exclusively to advance study and research in anatomy and biology. 
 The main building was dedicated May 21, 1894, and cost about 
 $170,000 (endowment $1,000,000 additional). The material is 
 of buff brick and light terra cotta, and the construction is entirely 
 fireproof. The completed section consists of a main building, 
 which has a frontage on Thirty-sixth Street of 223 feet and a depth 
 of 66 feet, a wing in the rear of the building is 46 by 72 feet; both 
 are four stories in height. The Institute also occupies the two 
 
121 
 
 large brick buildings in the rear. The architects of the main build- 
 ing were George W. and W. D. Hewitt. The building and endow- 
 ment are the gifts of General Isaac J. Wistar, a descendant of Dr. 
 Caspar Wistar, Professor of Anatomy at the University from 1808 
 to 1 818. The original museum was founded in 1808 by Caspar 
 Wistar and used for teaching the students. There is now no 
 undergraduate instruction, the laboratories and facilities being 
 open only to investigators of known ability and scientific reputa- 
 tion. Well equipped laboratories and a biological library adjoin 
 
 LABORATORY OF HYGIENE. 
 
 the museum. The chief resources of the Institute are directed 
 to researches in comparative neurology, comparative embryology 
 and biometry. 
 
 In 1905 the Institute became the clearing house for anatomy 
 in America; and in 1906 it was appointed the Central United 
 States Institute for Brain Investigation. 
 
 The Wistar Institute publishes the five principal, independent 
 anatomical journals of the United States, namely: Journal of 
 Morphology, The Journal of Comparative Neurology, The American 
 
122 
 
 Journal of Anatomy, The Anatomical Record, and The Journal of 
 Experimental Zoology. In these journals appears a large portion 
 of the anatomical research work done in this country. The Institute 
 also publishes a series known as Memoirs of the Wistar Institute, 
 in which appear such monographs as are too extensive to be published 
 in the journals. 
 
 In the Library, in cases specially built for them, are General 
 Wistar's private library of 4,000 volumes and an interesting 
 collection of historical relics. In the large Library room is also 
 a collection of valuable furniture, including a chiffonier much 
 damaged by Pulaski's cavalry in 1778. It dates back to 1683, 
 passing to Isaac J. Wistar in the sixth generation, and by him 
 presented to the Wistar Institute. There are also two settees 
 which belonged to Thomas Mifflin, 1744-1800, a graduate of the 
 College, and trustee 1 733-1 791, and first governor of Pennsyl- 
 vania. There are many other equally interesting objects in the 
 collection. 
 
 The Wistar Museum is open to the public as well as to students 
 daily-, except Sundays and holidays, from 9 A. m. to 4 p. m., Satur- 
 days from 9 a. m. to 12 m.

 THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, which was founded by the 
 late Dr. William Pepper in 1874, now covers two city blocks bounded 
 by Thirty-fourth, Thirty-sixth, Spruce, Hamilton Walk (Pine 
 Street). It includes sixteen wards, having a capacity of four 
 hundred beds. There are also six amphitheatres for clinical teach- 
 ing, and surgical and medical dispensaries for general and special 
 diseases. In the group of buildings forming the University Hospital 
 there is one central building devoted to general hospital work; 
 the Gibson Wing for Chronic Diseases, used chiefly for the treat- 
 ment of heart and lung diseases; the D. Hayes Agnew Memorial 
 Pavilion, which contains four wards and three amphitheatres, and 
 
125 
 
 which is used principally for clinical instruction; the William 
 Pepper Laboratory of Clinical Medicine; the Clinical Building; 
 and the Surgical Building. The two latter have recently been 
 completed and conform in general style to the architecture of 
 University Buildings. When the present plan for the entire 
 Hospital is completed all the buildings will conform in style of 
 architecture to these two, and will be brought out to the street

 line. To the rear of the Agnew Pavilion has been added a wing 
 for the X-ray Department, which forms an important part of the 
 Hospital group, and which will soon be moved into the new Surgical 
 Building. Spacious sun-parlors have also been added to the rear 
 of all the principal Hospital buildings. Among other buildings 
 in the Hospital yard are the Isolation Building, the Maternity 
 Hospital, Obstetrical Pavilion, the Mortuary and Chapel, the 
 Laundry and the Dormitories for Nurses. Not located upon the 
 
126 
 
 Campus are the Phipps Institute at Seventh and Lombard Streets, 
 for the study and treatment of tuberculosis, and the Southeastern 
 Dispensary at 736 South Tenth Street. 
 
 The medical staff of the Hospital consists of more than one 
 hundred and fifty physicians and a hundred nurses. 
 
 In the basements of the various buildings are surgical and 
 medical dispensaries, a drug store, dispensaries for special diseases, 
 and a series of halls devoted to baths of every description.

 D. HAYES AGNEW SURGICAL BUILDING. 
 
 THE MAIN HOSPITAL BUILDING is constructed of serpentine 
 (green) stone and was dedicated June 4, 1874. It is l 7 l D Y l &5 
 feet and cost $552,000. Professor Thomas W. Richards designed 
 the building, which was the gift of the State and City and benevolent 
 citizens. The money was secured principally through the efforts 
 of the late Provost William Pepper. 
 
 THE D. HAYES AGNEW MEMORIAL PAVILION was erected 
 in 1897; it is 151 by 85 feet; is constructed of red brick and cost 
 $75,000. The architects were Cope and Stewardson. The build- 
 
127 
 
 ing was named in honor of the great American surgeon who had 
 such a long and important career at the University. The building 
 contains four wards and three amphitheatres for clinical instruc- 
 tion. Its architectural treatment was inspired by the brick and 
 terra cotta architecture of Northern Italy. 
 
 THE WILLIAM PEPPER LABORATORY OF CLINICAL 
 MEDICINE was erected in 1894; it is 45 by 45 feet; is constructed 
 of red brick and cost $50,000. The architects were Cope and 
 Stewardson. It was erected through the generosity of the late 
 Provost William Pepper as a memorial to his father. The laboratory 
 is entirely for graduate work, for the purpose of providing facilities 
 for the prosecution of minute studies and original researches. The 
 laboratory annually publishes the results of its investigations.

 THE GIBSON WING FOR CHRONIC DISEASES was erected 
 in 1883; it is 45 by 183 feet; is built of red brick and cost $85,000. 
 The architects were Wilson Brothers. It was named in honor of 
 the late Henry C. Gibson, as an acknowledgment of his numerous 
 benefactions to the University. The pavilion was originally erected 
 for the treatment of heart and lung diseases. It now contains the 
 Children's Medical Ward of twenty beds; the Ward for Chronic 
 Surgical Cases of twenty beds, and a number of private rooms. 
 
 THE MATERNITY PAVILION is located in the rear of the 
 Pepper Laboratory; it was erected in 190 1; it is 107 by 80 feet, 
 and is built of red brick. The architects were Cope and Steward- 
 son. It contains the Anna Dike Scott Memorial Amphitheatre 
 with a seating capacity of 200 and will accommodate 50 patients. 
 In the basement is a system by which all heated air supplied to the 
 nurseries and wards is purified and filtered. 
 
 In 1906 a new wing, 38 by 41 feet, was added to the Maternity, 
 the gift of Mrs. Benjamin F. Clyde. It was designed by Brockie 
 and Hastings, and conforms to the original building, which is a simple 
 
128 
 
 form of Italian brick work of the Renaissance period. In the sun 
 parlor on the second floor is a memorial window, inscribed: "To 
 the Glory of God. — Dedicated October IX, 1906." 
 
 THE MORTUARY AND CHAPEL, small buildings in the rear 
 of the Main Pavilion, erected in 1890 at a cost of $11,000. 
 
 THE MEDICAL CLINICAL LABORATORY BUILDING occu- 
 pies the site directly in front of the Gibson Wing for Chronic 
 Diseases. It was dedicated on April 15, 1909. It was the first 
 of the new wings to the Hospital. All the other wings will be

 brought out to the street front to correspond with this one, which 
 conforms in architecture with the other late buildings of the 
 University. It was designed by Cope and Stewardson. In this 
 building are the laboratories of Clinical Pathology for the use of 
 the hospital staff and for students in medicine. 
 
 It accommodates the medical dispensaries, medical amphitheatre 
 and clinical conference room, and on the top floor two large labora- 
 tories for the teaching of clinical pathology and for the routine 
 laboratory investigation of the hospital cases. The larger room 
 is equipped with desks for fourth-year men, each of whom is 
 
129 
 
 assigned a separate desk and supplied with an outfit for making 
 examinations. One room is devoted to instruction to third-year 
 men in Clinical Laboratory methods. The building also has special 
 quarters for the staff of the Laboratory. 
 
 THE CLINICAL BUILDING. 
 
 While giving suitable attention to the scientific branches, the 
 claim for distinction of Pennsylvania's Medical School has always 
 rested upon its clinical facilities. Students are prepared both for 
 the practice of medicine for purely scientific careers, but the practical 
 
130 
 
 has taken precedence over the merely theoretical. Besides the 
 general clinics in all branches there are clinical conferences and 
 ward classes, the former being clinics on a small scale with active 
 participation of the students, the latter being bedside classes in 
 which an instructor demonstrates cases to small groups of from 
 five to ten students. The fourth-year men aie assigned to duty 
 in the University Hospital wards, assisting the Resident Physicians 
 in the daily study of the cases, under the direct supervision of the 
 visiting chiefs and their assistants, whom the students accompany 
 in the daily rounds. 
 
 THE SURGICAL BUILDING is located at the southwest corner 
 of Thirty-fourth and Spruce Streets, on the former site of the main 
 building of the Nurses' Home which was removed to Hamilton 
 Walk. The building was erected in 19 14 in accordance with a 
 plan for rebuilding the entire Hospital group. The other modern 
 Building or wing, which conforms to the new plans, is the Clinical 
 building. The plans provide for the walls of all the buildings and 
 wings being brought out to the Spruce Street building line. 
 
 The Surgical Building was designed by Brockie and Hastings. It 
 has five floors and a pipe attic and roof garden. The frontage on 
 Spruce Street is 92$ feet and 94^ feet along Thirty-fourth Street. 
 Later it is proposed to add four, and possibly five, stories to this 
 building. It is in the Jacobean style, and constructed of ,t>rick 
 and limestone, to conform to the general type of the later buildings 
 erected on the University campus. 
 
 In the basement of the new building will be the workshops for 
 the Orthopedic Department, , elevator machinery and mechanical 
 equipment for ventilating, heating and lighting. On the ground 
 floor will be the X-ray Department, which will vacate its present 
 quarters in the Agnew Wing. This floor will also contain a gym- 
 nasium for the Orthopedic Department, which will be in direct: 
 communication with the orthopedic dispensary, wards, etc., in 
 the present adjoining Agnew Pavilion. The first, second, and 
 third floors will be devoted to surgical wards, and will have a capacity 
 of seventy-five beds, including sun parlor, isolation rooms, lockers, 
 surgical dressing rooms, preparation rooms for operations, - ward 
 utility rooms, diet kitchens and supply rooms. 
 
 On the fourth and fifth floors will be three operating clinic rooms, 
 each seating from twenty-five to thirty-five students, and having 
 etherizing rooms communicating with each. These clinic rooms 
 extend through the two stories, are on the north side of the building 
 with large north skylights. 
 
 Besides the clinic rooms on the fourth floor are the sterilizing 
 room, instrument and bandage rooms, splint room, nurses' work 
 room, doctors' dressing and toilet rooms, recovery and waiting 
 rooms and nurses' toilet, with large distributing corridors. 
 
I3i 
 
 On the fifth floor the space not occupied by the upper part of the 
 clinic rooms and distribution corridor will contain a laboratory

 equipment, etc. 
 
 A considerable portion of the roof will be uncovered and used 
 as a roof garden.

 in the general hospital. The building was designed by Brockie 
 and Hastings, and is located in the rear part of the Hospital yard, 
 along the north side of Hamilton Walk, near Thirty-sixth Street. 
 The architecture is Renaissance, and in keeping with the other 
 University Hospital buildings. The building is 60 by 34, two 
 stories above a high basement, and cost about $25,000. It is 
 absolutely sanitary, the outer walls being double, with a wide 
 space between the two, which avoids all dampness. The floors 
 are of reinforced concrete, with a finished flooring of a patent 
 material, without joints. This material is turned up around all 
 
133 
 
 walls and forms a baseboard and floor throughout the entire 
 building, without a joint or crevice. There is a complete system 
 of heating and forced ventilation. 
 
 There are two stories and a basement. In the latter are con- 
 tained all of the heating and mechanical equipment, pipes, etc. 
 On the first floor there is an open porch running through the build- 
 ing from one side to the other. From this porch the stairway con- 
 nects the two floors; also opening from this porch is a general

 and entirely cut off from the other part of the building, the open 
 porch coming between the two portions. 
 
 On the west side of the porch are the rooms for the patients. 
 All rooms open into a main corridor. The food is delivered from 
 the open porch on the first floor through a special window into 
 the first story diet kitchen, and by means of a dumb-waiter to the 
 second story diet kitchen.

 THE LAUNDRY BUILDING.— The laundry building is 72 by 
 34 feet, and cost about $16,000. It was designed by Brockie and 
 Hastings. On the first floor is a large disinfecting plant for bedding 
 and linen, which is isolated from the rest of the first floor, in which 
 all the washing is done, as well as the finishing of large pieces. 
 
 The second floor is equipped with large drying rooms, ironing 
 machines, and tables for hand work. This floor also contains 
 the office of the head laundress, and a large room with shelves 
 and divisions, into which the work of each nurse, resident, or 
 private patient, is put. The plant is operated by electricity, and 
 is now the most complete laundry for hospital work in the city. 
 The lighting, heating, and ventilating apparatus is also operated 
 by electricity. 
 
 THE HOME FOR NURSES is located on Thirty-fourth Street 
 below Spruce Street. It was designed by Amos J. Boyden and 
 erected in i8#6. This building was erected in memory of Mrs. 
 Richard D.,Wood by her children. Including the students in the 
 training school,, there are at present about one hundred nurses 
 connected with the hospital. 
 
 THE X-RAY LABORATORY has been erected in the rear of 
 the Agnew Pavilion. It is one of the most important parts of the 
 University Hospital System; and with other improvements, 
 involved an expendituie of sixty thousand dollars, $25,000 of which 
 was appropriated by the State towards the laboratory. The 
 laboratory will shortly move into more spacious quarters provided 
 for it in the new Surgical Building. 
 
 THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL THERAPY.— Realizing 
 the value of Physical Therapy when scientifically practiced, the 
 University has installed a well-equipped laboratory in the Hospital. 
 The facilities of the department are such that patients as well as 
 the public may receive as effective treatment here as they would 
 be able to secure in any of the great Spas of Europe. Special 
 efforts have been made to secure good light, ventilation, heat and 
 drainage for every part of the baths, so as to make it attractive 
 and cheerful as well as efficient. 
 
 The laboratory is divided into three sections — one for hydro- 
 therapy, another for thermo- and electrotherapy, and a third for 
 balneotherapy — all being fully provided with dressing and reclining

 THE SOUTHEASTERN DISPENSARY was founded "in 1891 
 for the purpose of giving medical instruction to students in obstetrics. 
 Each fourth-year student is required to spend at least a week at 
 the Dispensary, where he gets an average of seven or eight cases. 
 The building, which is located at 736 South Tenth Street, is well 
 equipped. Three students and two trained nurses are in attend- 
 ance at all* times,. The Dispensary furnishes medical attendance 
 to an average of' fifteen hundred families a year. A special free 
 dispensary is also conducted in the building. 
 
 THE HENRY PHIPPS INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY, PRE- 
 VENTION AND TREATMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS was founded 
 in 1903, turned over to the University in February, 19 10, and 
 formally dedicated in May, 19 13, Mr. Henry Phipps, the founder, 
 having first decided to erect the present building at the northeast 
 
H5 
 
 corner of Seventh and Lombard Streets. The site is in the midst 
 of one of the congested districts of Philadelphia and is surrounded 
 by a large tenement house population. This location^ was chosen 
 as being in a section of the city in which tuberculosis was most 
 prevalent, and was made possible by a special law permitting the 
 establishment of the Hospital within the city limits. The oiiginal 
 site was at Third and Lombard Streets. The building faces Starr 
 Garden Park, a civic center of the Play Grounds Commission. 
 The open square affords a greater abundance of sunlight and air 
 than would ordinarily be the case in a closely built up city. The 
 building was designed by Grosvenor Atterbury, of New York. 
 
 The general style of architecture is modified Cclonial. While 
 the entrance is on the west side the principal facade is towards 
 the south. It is built of brick trimmed with white marble, and 
 except for wooden doors is of fire-proof construction. The ground 
 plan is somewhat of the form of the letter H — two main wings 
 projecting towards the south and enclosing an areaway that is 
 planted with shrubbery. The appearance of the building from the 
 south is unusual, because of the adoption of the plan of having 
 each story above the second set back from the front of the building 
 sufficiently to afford adequate porch and deck room. By this 
 means light is not cut off by porches from the story below. _ This 
 arrangement also makes possible the appearance of a series of 
 hanging gardens, while window-boxes and plants are placed along 
 the parapets. 
 
 The east wing is devoted almost entirely to laboratory purposes 
 and includes on the basement floor an autopsy room and morgue. 
 As for the rest of the building — the basement is occupied by 
 engine and boiler rooms, store rooms and laundry; the first floor 
 by general offices, waiting rooms, examining rooms for dispensary 
 patients, drug room, etc.; the second floor by nurses' quarters, 
 kitchen, pantry, store and dining rooms; the third floor by wards, 
 providing twelve beds for advanced cases, and surrounded by large 
 covered roof porches and open decks, nurses' office, diet kitchen, 
 dressing room and quiet room. In the west wing of. the third floor 
 there are sleeping quarters for nurses; the fourth floor is devoted 
 to two large open-air wards, together containing twelve beds for 
 early cases with ample porch and deck space adjacent. On the 
 fourth floor are also diet kitchen, dining room, nurses' office, 
 examining rooms, etc.; on the fifth or top floor there is a large 
 solarium and adjacent to it, open decks. There are also a diet 
 kitchen, dining room, and nurses' office. The Institute has demon- 
 strated that patients can be cured in the city if they receive proper 
 food and treatment. Both of the wards and the large dispensary 
 service of the Institute are devoted entirely to cases of tuberculosis. 
 The Institute includes thiee fields of activity, represented by three 
 corresponding departments, viz., laboratory, clinical and the 
 sociological, each being under a separate director.

 THE SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY was organized in 1878, at that 
 time being the third University Dental School in America. In the 
 fall of 1909 the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery was 
 absorbed by the University, and an arrangement made whereby 
 all of its students were transferred to the University of Pennsyl- 
 vania. The history of the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery 
 begins with the establishment in 1852 of the Philadelphia College 
 of Dental Surgery, from which the Pennsylvania College separated 
 in the spring of 1856, secuiing from the State Legislature a separate 
 charter. 
 
 OLD DENTAL HALL. 
 
 The Dental School is the most cosmopolitan of the departments 
 of the University, its students usually lepresenting about^ twenty- 
 five foreign countries and almost every state of the Union. In 
 19 14 it had a teaching staff of sixty-two and five hundred and 
 eighty-eight students. The school operates a free dispensary, 
 in which about 40,000 cases are treated annually. 
 
 When the school was first organized, it occupied quarters in 
 the Hare Laboratory of Chemistry at Thirty-sixth and Spruce 
 Streets, but in 1896 it removed to a new building especially con- 
 
147 
 
 structed for it. Here its growth has been remarkable and it has 
 long since outgrown its "new" quarteis. In the fall of 1914 it 
 will enter into its third home, The Evans Dental Institute and 
 School of Dentistry of the University of Pennsylvania at Fortieth 
 and Spruce Streets, the largest and best equipped plant in the 
 world devoted entirely to the teaching of dentistry. 
 
 DENTAL HALL, at Thirty-third and Locust Streets, which will 
 be vacated by the school in the fall of 19 14, was erected in 1896. 
 Its front faces the Engineering Building. It was designed by 
 Edgar M. Seeler, and is constructed of red brick and terra cotta; 
 its cost was about $150,000. The main building is 50 by 180 feet 
 with a wing 50 by 90 feet. The entire second floor of the main 
 building constitutes a clinical operating room, which has been 
 considered the best equipped and best lighted dental laboratory 
 in existence. Other laboratories and rooms in the building are 
 devoted to prosthetic work, crown-and-bridge work, orthodontia, 
 prosthetic and operative technics, porcelain and other inlays, 
 metallurgy, vulcanizing and modeling. There are several other 
 special rooms and an amphitheater with a seating capacity of 550. 
 Among the exhibits of interest in the Dental Museum are the 
 W. G. A. Bonwiil and J. Foster Flagg collections; the prosthetic 
 library, metallurgical and vulcanizing laboratories, clinics, first 
 dental diploma awarded in America, and many other objects. . 
 
 A post-graduate school in dentistry is conducted in a building 
 of the University located at 120 South Thirty-fourth Street, which 
 it will occupy until the completion of the new Evans Dental 
 Building.

 THE THOMAS W. EVANS MUSEUM AND DENTAL INSTI- 
 TUTE SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF 
 PENNSYLVANIA. By concurrent action of the Trustees of the 
 Thomas W. Evans Museum and Institute Society and the University 
 of Pennsylvania, an agreement between them was executed on Satur- 
 day, June 15, 1912, by the provisions of which a co-operative affilia- 
 tion between the two institutions was consummated so that the 
 resources of both have been utilized in the creation of a Dental 
 School to be carried on "as such institutions of learning are now 
 conducted in Philadelphia, and not inferior to any already estab- 
 lished," as provided for in the will of the late Dr. Thomas W. 
 Evans, an eminent scientist and dentist who practiced in Europe, 
 but who was born in Philadelphia, and lived in a house which stood 
 where the building bearing his name now stands, and which houses 
 the affiliated institutions at the northwest corner of Fortieth and 
 Spruce Streets. 
 
 THE NEW DENTAL BUILDING is in the style of architecture 
 which prevailed in the time of Henry VIII and might be described 
 as Collegiate Gothic, being in keeping with other late buildings 
 added to the University group in recent years, and like them, is 
 constructed of Indiana limestone and hard-burnt red brick. It 
 was designed by John T. Wind rim, with Cope & Stewardson as 
 consulting architects. The building has a frontage on Spruce Street 
 of 242 feet, and a depth to Irving Street along Fortieth Street of 
 161 feet. It is built in the form of the letter H and has three stories 
 over a high basement. The gift of Dr. Evans, including this build- 
 ing and the endowment fund, is estimated at more than a million 
 and a half of dollars.

 Among the interesting features of the building, are the museum 
 proper and the square tower, which is at the main entrance at the 
 center of the Spruce Street wing. The tower is 38 feet square, 
 rising to 84 feet. In the center of the tower, beginning at the 
 second story and reaching almost to the top of the third floor, is 
 a large window, which lights the library on the second floor. 
 
 The museum occupies the east half of the Spruce Street wing, 
 and is as nearly fire and burglar proof as modern science can make 
 it. This will house the priceless Evans collection. One of the 
 entrances to the building is at the east end of the Spruce Street 
 wing, so that visitors may enter the museum without disturbing 
 other occupants of the building. Another entrance is in the west 
 end on the ground floor, and the east court is equipped with a 
 service entrance. 
 
 In the west end of the Spruce Street wing is the office of the 
 Dean of the Institution, and the board-room. The rest of the 
 ground floor is divided into class-rooms and laboratories, the entire 
 north wing being devoted to this purpose. To the right and left 
 of the monumental hallway, which extends from the roof to the 
 first floor, are rooms for various phases of clinical dental service, 
 radiography, photography, instructors' rooms, etc., and a dentist's 
 model office. 
 
 Another of the important features of the building is the large 
 operative clinic hall in the north wing on the second floor. This 
 occupies the entire wing, and is 200 feet long by 48 feet wide. The 
 floor is covered with battleship linoleum and side walls are of tile. 
 
 On the north side is the clinic room two stories high, 30 feet in 
 all, with a glass wall which is also turned over the roof a distance 
 of about 10 feet, giving all the daylight possible. A gallery on the 
 south side contains the lockers. The room is furnished with 135 
 chairs, each chair equipped with electric service, for power and heat. 
 There is also gas, compressed air, and hot and cold water served to 
 each chair. 
 
 In the south wing, on the second floor, is the library, which 
 extends up through the third floor, with galleries on each side. 
 From the library, on the east end, extends the main lecture room, 
 62 by 41 feet, and in the west end are two smaller lecture rooms. 
 One of the main objects of the Institute will be the encouragement 
 of research work, and a number of rooms for that purpose, together 
 with rooms for the faculty, are on the second floor. 
 
 The main stairway in the hallway ends at the second floor, and 
 a rotunda effect extends from there to the roof. The side walls 
 of this hallway are in pinkish gray stone, and the ceiling is of metal 
 and plaster, formed and painted to represent the high carved 
 wooden ceilings of the Tudor period. 
 
 Large laboratories, with lighting similar to that in the clinic, 
 occupy the south wing on the third floor, and other rooms for 
 research work and post-graduate instruction in the western end. 
 
151 
 
 In the basement are locker rooms for the students, rooms for 
 mechanical dentistry, the metallurgical laboratories, and labora- 
 tories and lecture rooms for first-year men. A laundry and power 
 house adjoins the building on the north. This contains two boilers 
 with a capacity of 400 horse-power. The engines and electric 
 generators are capable of producing 250 kilowatts and will furnish 
 power for the lighting and heating, as well as for the service of 
 the chairs in the clinic.

 THE VETERINARY SCHOOL.— Although the Veterinary 
 School of the University did not take definite shape until the fall 
 of 1882, its establishment had been suggested during the early years 
 of the University. In a lecture delivered in 1807 by Benjamin 
 Rush, he dwelt upon "the duty and advantages of studying the 
 diseases of domestic animals and the remedies proper to remove 
 them." In this lecture he spoke of having seen the Medical Depart- 
 ment of the University grow into a flourishing school, but expressed 
 himself as being dissatisfied with its prosperity and fame until 
 such time as the University of Pennsylvania would include in its 
 curriculum the science of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, pro- 
 posing the establishment of a chair of Veterinary Medicine in the 
 Medical School. 
 
 In 1883, through the generosity of Joshua B. Lippincott and 
 J. E. Gillingham, the teaching of Veterinary Medicine was made 
 possible at the University as a separate school organized with a 
 faculty selected largely from the Medical School and the College, 
 with Dr. Rush Shippen Huidekoper as Professor of Veterinary 
 Anatomy and Internal Pathology and Dean of the Veterinary 
 Faculty, he having just returned from abroad for the purpose of 
 undertaking the work of founding such a school. The course as 
 outlined by Dr. Huidekoper, who had studied at various European 
 Veterinary Schools, extended then, as now, over a period of three 
 years. The Department was opened on October 2, 1884, with 
 twenty students, in a series of well-equipped buildings located 
 along Hamilton Walk, where the Medical Building now stands. 
 In 1 90 1 the School and Hospital moved into temporary quarters 
 on the present site. In 1903 the plot of ground on Thirty-ninth 
 
153 
 
 Street between Woodland Avenue and DeLancey Street was pur- 
 chased, and a section of the new building started for the School in 
 1906. New sections were added from year to year until the entire 
 courtyard was enclosed in 19 12. The School now has a teaching 
 staff of twenty-seven and an enrolment of one hundred and eighteen 
 students. 
 
 THE VETERINARY BUILDING AND HOSPITAL occupies 
 a lot at Thirty-ninth Street, DeLancey Street and Woodland 
 Avenue, 260 by 210 feet. The buildings are constructed around 
 a square courtyard, and with their equipment form one of the 
 most complete plants of the kind. The buildings were designed 
 by Cope and Stewardson in a style of architecture adopted from 
 the English Collegiate of the seventeenth century, in keeping 
 with that of the Dormitories and other recently constructed build- 
 ings. They are fireproof, and are constructed of hard-burnt brick 
 with limestone trimmings, and the roof of green slate. The main 
 entrance is through an archway on Thirty-ninth Street. 
 
 In the series of buildings the School and Hospital Departments 
 are entirely separated. In the building along Thirty-ninth Street, 
 to the north on the first floor, are the administration offices of the 
 School and Faculty, a class room and the library. The second 
 floor of this part of the building is occupied by the State Live 
 Stock Sanitary Board in a laboratory, consisting of a suite of twelve 
 rooms for researches and experiments which are conducted under 
 the supervision of the State Veterinarian. In connection with the 
 laboratory there is also maintained an experimental farm near 
 Philadelphia. The third floor of this part of the building contains 
 a class laboratory, storerooms, and dormitories for the resident 
 veterinarian of the Hospital and assistants. The south end of the 
 Thirty-ninth Street building extends a short distance eastward on 
 Woodland Avenue and contains the offices of the Hospital and of 
 the resident veterinarian, a reception room for the public, a clinic 
 room for small animals and a similar room for large animals, a 
 pharmacy, several large stalls for horses or cattle, a ward for small 
 animals affected with contagious diseases, irrigation stalls, a room 
 for an X-ray apparatus, and an operating room and surgery for 
 large animals. On the second floor of this portion are hospital wards 
 and an operating room for small animals, together with a kitchen 
 for preparing the food, a bathroom and an exercise ward, and also 
 sleeping quarters for attendants, and a storeroom. 
 
 The building along Woodland Avenue contains hospital wards 
 for the accommodation of fifty-five horses and cows, a public farriery, 
 and a clinical laboratory. On the second floor is an assembly 
 room or "Leonard Pearson Hall," named in honor of the late Dean. 
 
 The building to the east contains the anatomical, histological, 
 postmortem, and biological laboratories, the dissecting and lecture 
 rooms. 
 
154 
 
 The building to the north of the courtyard contains, on the 
 first floor, the pharmacy and milk hygiene laboratory, sterilizing 
 room, class rooms and students' room, and on the second, floor 
 the inoculation room used by the State, the laboratories of pathol- 
 ogy* bacteriology, and clinic room.

 THE LAW SCHOOL had its beginning in 1790 in the old Academy 
 Building, when James Wilson was elected Professor of Law, which 
 was the first University professorship in law instituted in North 
 America. The School had a rather desultory existence up to the 
 year 1850, when it was reorganized by the Hon. George Sharswood, 
 since which year it has had more than five thousand matriculates, 
 of whom more than one-half were graduated. At present, it has 
 an enrolment of 374 and a teaching staff of 26. Like the Medical 
 School, at various stages of its existence it has occupied quarters 
 in the first buildings at Fourth and Arch Streets, at Ninth and 
 Market Streets, in College Hall on the present campus, then the 
 sixth floor of the Girard Building at Broad and Chestnut Streets, 
 and in 1895 the historic quarters in Independence Square, where 
 for a period of five years it occupied the old "New Court House" 
 and " Congress Hall" — here almost a thousand students had the 
 privilege of studying law in the same halls in which Washington 
 and Adams were inaugurated President, where the United States 
 
157 
 
 Congress met for ten years, and where some of the most important 
 laws of the early government of the country were enacted. In 
 1900 the School moved into its new building in West Philadelphia. 
 In 19 14 the Department became a purely graduate school, all candi- 
 dates for degrees being obliged to present for entrance a college 
 degree, thus raising the standards of the School to the highest in 
 America. 
 
 THE LAW SCHOOL BUILDING was formally dedicated on 
 "University Day," February 22, 1900. It is one of the most 
 beautiful buildings of the University group, and is an architectural 
 monument. It was designed by Cope and Stewardson in a style 
 similar in character to the English Renaissance as developed by 
 Sir Christopher Wren. The building has a frontage of 190 feet on 
 Thirty-fourth Street and a depth of 120 feet along Chestnut and 
 Sansom Streets. The construction is fireproof throughout, the 
 exterior being of Indiana limestone and dull red brick; its cost 
 was nearly half a million dollars. Interesting features of the 
 interior are the spacious hallways, the rotunda, and the grand 
 staircase. 
 
 On the second floor are two large halls or reading rooms, each 
 40 by 114 feet, and 30 feet high, each hall containing 254 individual 
 desks. The hall to the north is known as McKean Hall, and was 
 named in honor of Chief Justice Thomas McKean, one of the 
 signers of the Declaration of Independence and a trustee of the 
 University. The south hall was named for Chief Justice George 
 Sharswood, who reorganized the Law School in 1850, and who was 
 a professor and trustee of the University for many years. Another 
 large reading room on this floor is McMurtrie Hall, named for the 
 late Richard C. McMurtrie, an eminent member of the Phila- 
 delphia Bar. Each student has a desk assigned to him in one of 
 the large rooms and is thus enabled to enjoy an undisturbed place 
 of study during his three years at the law school. The graduate 
 reading room contains twenty-six large tables which are assigned 
 to advanced students and men engaged in legal research. In front 
 of McMurtrie Hall is the "Biddle Law Library" room, a fireproof 
 stack containing 55,000 volumes of law books. This Library was 
 founded by the family of George W. Biddle, as a memorial to his 
 three sons, George, Algernon Sydney, and Arthur Biddle. The 
 original gift of five thousand volumes was supplemented in 1897 
 by the presentation by Mrs. Arthur Biddle of more than four 
 thousand volumes. The family of the late Richard C. McMurtrie 
 presented his law library to the University in 1906. Many other 
 valuable gifts have been received from families and individual 
 donors. On the second floor are also ten small rooms used by the 
 Librarian and members of the teaching staff. On the first floor 
 are the offices of the Dean, six class rooms, a moot court-room, 
 Wharton Hall, Price Hall (a general assembly room), and the 
 
158 
 
 Museum of the Pennsylvania Bar Association. In the latter are 
 deposited many objects of historical interest to members of the 
 legal profession, especially to the Pennsylvania Bar. In the base- 
 ment are the club rooms of the various student organizations of 
 the Law School and in the sub-cellar is a modern lighting, heating, 
 and ventilating plant. 
 
 A lot immediately in the rear of the Law School Building is 
 owned by the University and was purchased for the extension of 
 the Law School Building. The University Tennis Association 
 occupies it at present with six tennis courts. 
 
 On the circular medallions of stone in the first story are cut 
 the names chosen by the late Hon. John I. Clark Hare for special 
 honor.

 THE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY was founded in 
 1 889 by the late William Pepper and for ten years occupied quarters 
 in the Library Building. The Department is divided into five 
 sections, each under the management of a curator, viz.: General 
 Ethnology, and American Prehistoric Archaeology, Babylonian 
 and General Semitic, Egyptian and Mediterranean Sections. The 
 ground for these buildings and gardens, almost ten acres, was 
 donated by the city. The Museum is located on Spruce Street 
 east of Thirty-fourth Street. The Philadelphia Commercial 
 Museums, the largest of their kind in America, are located in the rear. 
 
 MUSEUM BUILDING.— The northwestern section was begun 
 in 1897 and dedicated December 20, 1899. The second section, 
 which consists of the first of the two secondary domes, was started 
 in 19 12 and finished in 19 14. The cost of these two sections was 
 about $700,000. The joint architects, in charge of the plans for 
 the completion of the Museum, are Messrs. Wilson Eyre, Jr., 
 Cope & Stewardson, and Frank Miles Day & Brother. The 
 plans provide for an extensive group of buildings to be constructed 
 by sections. The whole will cover almost twelve acres of ground 
 and is estimated to cost at least $3,000,000. The first section 
 to be built was the northwestern wing which will be about one- 
 seventh of the completed building which is to consist of a series 
 of wings separated by open courtyards planted with shrubbery 
 and provided with fountains and ponds. The central feature 
 of the building represents a large hall, the roof or dome of which 
 will rise to a greater elevation than that of the wings. From this 
 dome broad galleries are to extend eastward and westward to two 
 secondary domes, with each of which are connected two groups 
 of buildings, one facing north and the other facing south. The 
 portions at present erected are part of the western group and the 
 western secondary dome and consist of a series of buildings facing 
 three sides of a courtyard in which there is a pool containing aquatic 
 plants. 
 
 Competent critics consider the treatment of this building and 
 its courtyard one of the most charming and successful works of 
 architecture in this country. It is inspired by the round arched 
 brick architecture of Northern Italy of about the twelfth century. 
 In some respects the architectural details, especially of the dome, 
 resemble those of the old church of San Stefano in Bologna. The 
 material is rough brick, laid with wide mortar joints, the only 
 exterior ornamentation being rough mosaic fragments of brick and 
 marble. The roof, of Spanish tiles, adds greatly to the beauty 
 of the structure. 
 
 The extension finished in 19 14 consists of a gallery extending 
 from the first building southward and terminating in a round 
 tower, which is ninety-six feet in diameter and more than one 
 hundred feet high. 
 
i6 7 
 
 This secondary dome marks the center of the two western sec- 
 tions. A similar tower will be erected for the two eastern buildings, 
 and there will be a much larger one in the center, which, as stated 
 before, will dominate the entire structure when completed. 
 
 The new gallery and circular room is one hundred feet high 
 and will be used for general display purposes of the Museum. 
 
 Underneath the tower is a large circular lecture room with 
 a commodious stage, the usual dressing rooms and seats for about 
 twelve hundred persons. This is used for the lectures given under 
 the auspices of the Museum. 
 
 In the near future it is intended to begin further extensions to 
 the east to accommodate the rapidly accumulating works of art, 
 archaeology and ethnology which are being gathered from all over 
 the world. The object of the Museum is to assemble and preserve 
 collections illustrating the history of mankind. These collections 
 are procured by expeditions sent to excavate ancient sites or to 
 study existing types of human civilization. The collections thus 
 procured are developed in the Museum into exhibitions illustrating 
 the rise and progress of civilization. These exhibitions are further 
 developed by the purchase of such collections as may serve to 
 augment and amplify the lessons which are to be conveyed. 
 
 Among the more notable exhibitions now to be seen in the 
 Museum are the Egyptian, Cretan, Etruscan, and Babylonian 
 antiquities including the famous collection of inscribed tablets 
 from Nippur. 
 
 The ancient civilizations of the new world are represented by 
 exhibitions of potteries, woven fabrics, metal work and other 
 antiquities of ancient Peru and illustrating the civilization of 
 the Incas and also the earlier civilization of pre-Inca times; by 
 collections of pottery and sculpture from Mexico and Central 
 America; by the painted potteries and woven fabrics from the 
 ruined Pueblos of Arizona and New Mexico, and from the Cliff 
 Dwellers of the adjacent southwestern country; by the stone 
 implements, pipes and ornaments dug up from the ancient burying 
 places and village sites of the eastern, southern and middle states 
 of the United States. 
 
 The more primitive peoples now inhabiting the earth are repre- 
 sented by collections of clothing, weapons, implements, utensils 
 and ornaments from the native peoples of Borneo, the Philippines, 
 Central Africa, Australia, the Islands of the South Seas, the Naga 
 Hill tribes of Assam, the Ainus of Japan and the Indians of North 
 and South America. 
 
 The following special collections are also to be seen: The Frish- 
 muth collection of musical instruments; the Drexel collection of 
 fans; the Brock collection of coins; the Sommerville collection 
 of Buddhist art and the Sommerville collection of gems and cameos. 
 Other collections are the George G. Heye collection of the tribes 
 of Indians of Canada and the United States; the Wanamaker 
 
1 69 
 
 collections of reproductions of Pompeian, Herculaneum and Etrus- 
 can bronzes; the Brinton Library of Americana; the Egyptian col- 
 lection of statues, paintings, mummies and sarcophagi, including the 
 large Sphinx of Rameses II; the "Nippur Library" of cuneiform 
 inscriptions; the Coxe collections, the Dillwyn-Parrish collection of 
 Graeco-Roman papyri, among which are the oldest known frag- 
 ments of the Gospel of St. Matthew; Drexel collection of original 
 ancient sculpture, and many other special collections. 
 
 The west central hall or rotunda of the Museum is known as 
 Pepper Hall, named in honor of the founder of the Museum. 
 The Museum library and a small lecture hall occupy corresponding 
 positions in the eastern and western arms of the building, the latter 
 is known as Widener Lecture Hall and was named by the donor 
 for Josephine Widener. In the basement are rooms for the 
 photographers, storage, packing, and restaurant rooms.

 YOU AND I MUST PASS AWAY, BUT THESE THINGS WILL LAST. 
 
 THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION was made 
 a part of the curriculum of the University in 1904, with its head- 
 quarters in the Gymnasium. Its regulations apply to all male 
 students of the University except those of the Graduate School, 
 Evening School of Accounts and Finance, Summer School, and 
 those taking post-graduate work. 
 
 Every student subject to the regulations of the Department 
 when he registers for the first time receives an appointment card 
 for physical and medical examination. After filling in a blank 
 referring to his past health and habits he reports at the physical 
 director's office. When the tapeline has recorded his length, breadth 
 and thickness, and after he has pushed, pulled, grasped, and lifted 
 his best, he is placed standing upright with feet together and his 
 posture and figure are examined. By an arrangement of mirrors 
 he can see his own back for the first time without moving. The 
 flat chest, uneven shoulders, lateral curvature, are at once evident 
 to him. The broken down arch that has given pains to the feet 
 is easily demonstrated. He is then put under treatment which 
 runs in concord with his college course. After this inspection he 
 lies down on a couch for further examination of the heart and 
 lungs, and a test of the hearing of each ear. On leaving the room 
 he gets a card which he takes to the swimming instructor. If he 
 cannot swim the length of the hundred-foot pool he is put under 
 instruction, for every man must learn during his first year to take 
 care of himself in the water. In the last ten years more than three 
 thousand men have been taught to swim. 
 
 Men having physical defects are given cards on which are printed 
 lists of exercises suitable for each case. These are taken to the 
 instructor on the gymnasium floor, who demonstrates the move- 
 ments and repeats them until the student has mastered them. 
 The treatment of graver disabilities is a different matter. A man 
 who shows an involvement of the lungs has his whole future at 
 
172 
 
 stake, and his relation to the college community must also be con- 
 sidered. If the trouble is slight he is put under observation and 
 treated by a specially appointed college physician if he is in residence 
 and away from home. If he lives at home his family is informed 
 that he must be put under treatment at once. By this kind of 
 care he usually gains rapidly in weight and often throws off the 
 infection with little or no interference to his college work. Gains 
 of from ten to fifteen pounds and disappearance of symptoms after 
 a few weeks open-air sleeping and prescribed feeding are frequently 
 reported. About forty in one thousand men show some serious 
 disturbance in the circulation, from irregularity of pulse to structural 
 damage of the heart. These men are protected from physical 
 overstrain. They are taught to nurse their physical resources and 
 to take only such exercise as will build up their resistance. Every 
 candidate for an athletic team must show a certificate of physical 
 soundness given after examination each year when he reports for 
 an athletic team or squad. It is on the basis of these examinations 
 that the director regulates the physical life of the Pennsylvania 
 student. He may prescribe very light individual exercise given 
 personally by instructors, or he may allow him to elect football, 
 baseball, basket-ball, swimming, rowing, fencing, boxing, wrestling, 
 soccer, tennis, cricket or golf, credit for his attendance being given 
 during the time he is actively engaged on each squad. Whatever 
 form of sport he may choose or whatever form of exercise may be 
 allotted to him, he must account to the University for two hours 
 a week taken under the direction of the Department unless excused 
 by the Director himself. 
 
 There are two students' physicians at Pennsylvania with a corps 
 of assistants and the University Hospital forms the center round 
 which other buildings cluster, while in the center of the Hospital 
 is the students' ward. These cases receive the attention of the 
 Professor of Medicine in his daily rounds, and most of the beds are 
 endowed by friends and relatives of those who have found them 
 a haven of refuge during their college days. In an institution so 
 large as Pennsylvania, with its 6,500 men, the danger of an epi- 
 demic must always be present in the minds of the University Com- 
 mittee on Hygiene and the members of the medical staff, and the 
 least suspicion as to a throat or a rash or a high temperature means 
 isolation until the question of contagion is beyond doubt. Fortu- 
 nately no bad epidemic has got headway, although many have 
 been averted by quick action of the physician-in-charge and the 
 Department of Hygiene. 
 
 For the isolation of suspicious cases, or those who have been 
 in contact with contagious diseases, or those < others for whom 
 isolation for a period of observation seems desirable, there is an 
 "isolation" or "observation" house on the University property. 
 This will be of great service in the campaign of preventive medicine 
 at the University, 
 
174 
 
 The Committee on Hygiene occupies itself with the general 
 questions of student life, the sanitary condition of the dormitories, 
 and the sterilization of water in the swimming pool, and the isola- 
 tion of contagious cases. Another committee occupies itself with 
 the inspection of boarding houses which are approved by the Uni- 
 versity, and in this way the University of Pennsylvania tries to 
 provide for the physical education, sanitation, and general health 
 of its student body. 
 
 THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION was organized in 1873, and 
 incorporated in 1882. The "Old Field," located at Thirty-seventh 
 and Spruce Streets — now the site for the "Big," "South" and 
 "East" Quads of the dormitory system — was used for all athletic 
 contests from 1885 to 1895. 
 
 GYMNASTIC DRILL IN WEIGHTMAN HALL. 
 
 FRANKLIN FIELD was dedicated April 20, 1895. The improve- 
 ments consisting of the stadium and grandstands and the gymnasium 
 building cost, exclusive of grounds, $500,000. These improve- 
 ments were made during 1903-04. The architects were Frank 
 Miles Day & Bro. The Field is 714 feet long and 443 feet wide. 
 The stands were built similar to a house, the slant representing 
 the roof. Massive walls with solid buttresses form the backs, the 
 low walls, the copings; while the roof, covered with felt, cement, 
 and slag, supports the seats and foot boards. These stands cover 
 the north, south, and east sides of the field, while the gymnasium 
 encloses the west side. Underneath the stands are excellent in- 
 door tracks and winter training quarters for athletes. The seating 
 capacity of the field including temporary stands is about 32,000. 
 At each end of the gymnasium there is a memorial gateway dedi- 
 
175 
 
 cated to famous athletes; these form the main entrances to Franklin 
 Field. The Field contains a quarter-mile track, football field and 
 a baseball diamond. The Field for many years was the scene of 
 the Annual Football Games between the U. S. Military and Naval 
 Academies. 
 
 THE GYMNASIUM BUILDING is on the west end of Franklin 
 Field facing Thirty- third Street. It was erected in 1903 at a cost 
 of about $400,000 by the Athletic Association. The building is 
 275 by 80 feet, being made up of a central portion and two square 
 
 THE SWIMMING POOL. 
 
 towers and wing buildings at the end. The architecture is English 
 Collegiate Gothic, and the material of dark red brick with black 
 headers laid in Flemish bond, trimmed with terra cotta and in 
 some parts with Indiana limestone of the same color. The con- 
 struction is entirely fireproof, the floors and columns being of 
 concrete. The architects were Frank Miles Day & Bro. One- 
 half of the ground floor of the main building is taken up with a 
 swimming pool which is 100 feet long and 30 feet wide, 9 feet deep 
 at one end, 4 feet 6 inches at the other. There is a gallery for 
 spectators. The other portion of the lower floor is divided into 
 
176 
 
 rooms for fencing, sparring, rowing, boxing, etc. The rowing room, 
 75 by 30 feet, is used as an accessory gymnasium, with sixteen 
 machines on which the crew do their winter training; and in it 
 are found additional gymnastic apparatus. 
 
 The entire second floor is occupied by Weightman Hall, which 
 is about 150 by 75 feet, with a skylight over almost the entire roof. 
 The towers and wing buildings contain locker rooms for students, 
 professors, home and visiting teams. There are about 4,000

 lockers in all, with provision for many more. There are numerous 
 shower bath rooms and offices for the secretary, manager, physical 
 instructor, and others. The offices in the North Wing are used 
 by the Department of Physical Education, and those in the South 
 Wing by the Athletic Association. There are two main entrances 
 on Thirty-third Street, extending into large halls leading to the 
 upper floors. There are also entrances from the Field, and all 
 parts of the building are connected. 
 
 THE TRAINING HOUSE with dormitories for athletes is at 
 Thirty- third and Marston Streets; alongside of the North Wing 
 of the Gymnasium; the new building adds to the architectural

 dignity of the Gymnasium, with which it conforms closely in style. 
 The architect, Mr. Horace Trumbauer, . has handled his subject 
 in a way which beautifies a corner which had been the least attrac- 
 
i 7 8 
 
 tive on the athletic grounds. The building contains accommoda- 
 tions for twenty-six men and the large living and dining halls 
 accommodate about seventy. The building has three stories over 
 a high basement. In the basement are the kitchen and pantry, 
 the steward's and servants' rooms, and the boiler and engine rooms. 
 On the first floor is a large lounging room and dining hall, connected 
 with an open hallway. The coaches also have rooms on this floor, 
 leading off from the hall. • On the second and third floors are twenty- 
 six bedrooms and a study. The building is the gift of the Alumni. 
 
 MEMORIALS AND INSCRIPTIONS IN GYMNASIUM, 
 FRANKLIN FIELD, AND TRAINING HOUSE 
 
 On the terrace, midway between the two entrances to the Gym- 
 nasium, on a pedestal designed by Professor P. P. Cret, is a heroic 
 statue of:

 UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA BOAT HOUSE.— Located 
 in Fairmount Park on the Schuylkill River. The College Boat 
 Club of the University of Pennsylvania was founded in 1872, 
 and the present boat house built a few years later. The first 
 University crew was organized in 1877. A fund of $40,000 is now 
 being raised for the construction of a new and more modern boat 
 house upon the west banks of the Schuylkill. The present Club 
 House has long been inadequate for the number of students who 
 wish to make use of it.

 The Schuylkill River, known as the "National Course," was 
 selected by the representatives of various American Rowing 
 Associations as the best course for holding the "American Regatta." 
 
 ALUMNI HALL. — 3451 Woodland Avenue. The building was 
 formerly the home of the Medical Institute and later of the General 
 Alumni Society which is now located in the Hale Building, 1328 
 Chestnut Street. The first floor contains the printing plant of The 
 Pennsylvanian, the undergraduate daily newspaper.

 THE UNIVERSITY CHRISTIAN SETTLEMENT BUILDING 
 
 at the northwest corner of Lombard and Twenty-sixth Streets 
 was opened in the fall of 1906. It was designed in the Philadelphia 
 English Colonial style by the late Professor Charles F. Osborne 
 of the Architectural School, and has all the latest equipment of 
 a modern settlement building. Adjoining is a small playground 
 and several small houses used largely for neighborhood club pur- 
 poses. The total cost was $60,000. The building is 82 by 54 feet, 
 with three stories, basement, and roof garden.. The basement 
 contains a gymnasium 40 by 60 feet (which may also be used as 
 
1 86 
 
 an auditorium), a bowling-alley, and locker rooms with showers, 
 and heating plant. The first floor accommodates the office, gym- 
 nasium gallery, and two club rooms for men, with baths and a 
 separate entrance; the second floor has an auditorium which is 
 also used as the girls' gymnasium, the library, two club rooms 
 for young men, two for boys, two for girls, a demonstrating kitchen, 
 and a locker room with baths for girls. The third floor provides 
 living quarters for the Resident Director and family, four women 
 workers and ten students. The roof garden is well adapted for 
 kindergarten work, baseball, entertainments and festivals. 
 
 On the wall of the main staircase is a brass tablet to Dr. Horatio 
 C. Wood, inscribed as follows: 
 
 This Tablet 
 
 Bears witness to the enduring gratitude 
 
 of 
 
 the friends and admirers 
 
 of 
 
 HORATIO C. WOOD, M.D., LL.D. 
 
 to whose unwearied exertions, unstinted liberality 
 
 wise counsel and eloquent voice, the 
 
 foundation and completion 
 
 of < 
 
 this building 
 
 are mainly indebted 
 
 "more is his due than more than all can pay." 
 
 The old building, which has been connected with the new house 
 by a hallway, contains a small gymnasium room, and class rooms 
 for the small boys. An enclosure between the two buildings is 
 used for the physician's office and dental clinic, and the boys' baths. 
 The actual work is carried on by the residents, and by the Professors 
 and students of the University, who conduct classes in gymnastics, 
 printing, singing, and manual training. There are also lectures, 
 entertainments, and religious meetings. Athletics have a promi- 
 nent place in the Settlement activities, and there are teams in 
 football, basketball, and baseball. These teams use the Settle- 
 ment Athletic Field, consisting of twenty acres, on the west bank 
 of the Schuylkill River, almost opposite the Settlement Building, 
 and near the University Campus. 
 
 SETTLEMENT CAMP.— Since 1898 a Camp has been con- 
 ducted by the Association each year during the summer months 
 in various picturesque spots. In 1908 the Association purchased 
 a beautiful site in the Perkiomen Valley, consisting of a farm of 
 sixty-four acres with a stone house and barn, and built a com- 
 modious bungalow. The land is of a varied nature, with open 
 grassy fields, charming hills, huge boulders and thickly wooded 
 groves; a rocky stream, and a dam, forming a pond about a quarter 
 of a mile in length, affording good swimming, fishing, and boating. 
 The level tract furnishes ample room for tennis, baseball, and 
 
i8 7 
 
 running track; other tracts are at the disposal of the Association 
 and have been put to similar uses. 
 
 The Settlement sends out each summer to these various farms, 
 relays of twenty or thirty boys; groups of men, and of girls. More 
 than a hundred can be accommodated at a time. Each group 
 remains for a week or ten days' outing. There is also a large play- 
 ground of twenty-two acres conducted by the Association on the 
 grounds of the University along the west banks of the Schuylkill, 
 in front and back of the Commercial Museum Buildings.

 THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA MEDICAL SCHOOL 
 IN CANTON, CHINA, was founded under the auspices of the Chris- 
 tian Association of the University in 1906. The motive and purposes 
 of the school are set forth in a preamble to a resolution passed by 
 the Board in March of that year, which was in part as follows: 
 
 "The Christian Association of the University of Pennsylvania 
 desires to undertake in China the* work of medical instruction under 
 
188 
 
 Christian influences, with the ultimate purpose of establishing and 
 maintaining a Medical School, whose students will be surrounded 
 by a positive Christian environment, whose equipment and quality 
 of work shall reach the highest Western standards, and which shall 
 eventually be brought into some direct official relation with the 
 Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania, in order 
 that the standard of its work may be guaranteed, that it may 
 attract the interest and support of the whole University body, 
 and that it may stand to attest the recognition by the University 
 of Pennsylvania of the wide claims and responsibilities that rest 
 upon a Christian University." 
 
 SETTLEMENT FARM OF THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. 
 
 The objects of the school are further amplified in an extract 
 from recently adopted by-laws as follows: 
 
 "To give thorough instruction in medicine and surgery to the 
 Chinese in the English and Cantonese languages, and thereby: 
 
 " (a) To provide to Mission Hospitals well-trained physicians. 
 
 " (6) To train Chinese for positions as teachers in this and other 
 medical schools. 
 
 "(c) To assist in providing this Republic with a Christian 
 medical profession. 
 
 "(d) To take an active share in the investigation of the causes, 
 prevention and treatment of diseases peculiar to China, and to en- 
 
1 89 
 
 courage scientific investigators of other countries to make use of 
 the school, laboratories and hospital for this purpose. 
 
 " (e) To encourage and make provision for post-graduate study. 
 
 "(/) To extend the knowledge of Jesus Christ to all coming 
 within the sphere of influence of the school." 
 
 The Board of Directors is composed of eminent citizens of Phila- 
 delphia, and the staff includes three American doctors and one 
 Chinese doctor, three women, a Chinese secretary of religious work 
 and a Chinese chemist. 
 
 The school is located on an island across the river from the 
 eastern section of Canton. The principal building is the first sec- 
 tion of a permanent three-story hospital erected at a cost of $17,000, 
 including equipment. The building is fireproof, being constructed 
 of brick and re-enforced concrete. In the basement is a coal cellar 
 and a carpenter shop. Half the first floor is devoted to a dispensary, 
 with a large waiting room and private offices for surgical, medical 
 and eye clinics, and the drug store. At the other end of this floor 
 is the men's ward. 
 
 Above the men's ward, on the second floor, is a ward for women, 
 while at the western end of this story are the operating room, dark 
 room, sterilizing and anesthetizing rooms. Here are also an office, 
 a class room and laboratory. 
 
 The third floor of the building is entirely taken up as a residence 
 for the foreign staff, and the operating room on the second floor is 
 used for the better class of Chinese and foreign patients. Residence 
 houses are now under construction and when completed the hospital 
 will be devoted entirely to patients. A Nurses' Training School 
 was instituted in 19 13. During the year ending August 31, 19 12, 
 2,442 patients were treated in the dispensary; 587 outside calls 
 were made; 228 cases were admitted to the hospital and 457 opera- 
 tions were performed, 177 of which were conducted at Karuizawa, 
 Japan, by a member of the surgical staff of the school. 
 
 PLANS FOR A UNIVERSITY CHAPEL 
 
 Plans have been drawn for a proposed University Chapel to cost 
 at least half a million dollars. These plans represent a building 
 180 feet long by 66 feet wide, and the seating capacity will be about 
 fifteen hundred. The plans call for a tower 30 feet square and 175 
 feet high, and a chapter house 30 feet in diameter, which will be 
 used to accommodate the officers of the Christian Association, 
 the numerous Bible classes, etc. The site has not been definitely 
 settled, the object being to have the Chapel centrally located, 
 convenient to students of all departments, and at the same time 
 to have the location one of imposing approach and .monumental 
 prominence. 
 
190 
 
 The architecture of the new structure will be Collegiate and 
 Gothic, in fine and strong lines — sincere, simple, grammatical, 
 based on the worthiest precedent, but adopted to our modern 
 needs and conditions. For instance, the general motif of the 
 Chapel will be King's Chapel at Cambridge, the noblest college 
 chapel in the world; the style of the tower has been suggested by 
 the splendid Magdalen Tower at Oxford, and the chapter house, 
 if such be used, is to resemble the beautiful chapter house at Lincoln 
 
 MASK AND WIG GRILL ROOM. 
 
 Cathedral. Such a general plan will serve to maintain the finest 
 traditions in both collegiate and ecclesiastical architecture, and be 
 a monumental glory for all time. 
 
 The auditorium is to be so arranged as to be capable of being 
 divided into two sections when needed, the choir seating so arranged 
 as to be adaptable either to a small choir or large chorus. The 
 plans were drawn only after the chapels of all the leading colleges 
 and universities of our own country and England had been thor- 
 oughly considered. 
 
191 
 
 THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION BUDGET.— There are now 
 
 daily Chapel and Sunday services under student management, 
 more than 1,300 men in Bible study groups, a Christian Association 
 that uses thirty-five leaders and secretaries in its work; a Uni- 
 versity Settlement for social service in Philadelphia, representing 
 an investment of $65,000; a Medical Work in South China, repre- 
 senting another investment of $35,000; student lectures and con- 
 ferences; employment bureau and loan library, intercollegiate 
 Christian meetings and summer camps. This work, which was 
 very meagre sixteen years ago, involving an expenditure of only 
 $700 a year, has now grown to such proportions that it requires 
 a budget of $35,000 a year for use in Christian service. 
 
 THE MASK AND WIG CLUB.— Pennsylvania's famous the- 
 atrical organization was founded in 1889. It occupies a club house 
 at 310 Quince Street, formerly a stable, which was remodeled by 
 Wilson Eyre, Jr., and decorated by Maxfield Parrish. The Club 
 House has cost the organization more than $20,000; it includes 
 a grill room and offices, an auditorium or rehearsal hall, with stage 
 and dressing rooms, kitchens, etc. There are two classes of mem- 
 bers — -undergraduate and alumni. In the early winter the Mask 
 and Wig "Preliminary Performances" are held in the Club theatre. 
 These are for the purpose of trying out new candidates, and admis- 
 sion is entirely by invitation. None but apprentices are allowed 
 to take part. From the best talent in the "preliminaries" the 
 Club selects its material for the annual Easter production. This 
 is always in the nature of a pictorial extravaganza, and is played 
 during the whole of Easter week at one of the large Philadelphia 
 theatres followed by one-night stands in several other cities. The 
 annual production is always new and original, and costs from $10,000 
 to $12,000 to present. Nearly one hundred students take part, 
 and the whole preparation and management is in the hands of the 
 alumni members of the Club. "The Mask and Wig Show" has 
 become the most prominent social and dramatic feature of Easter 
 week in Philadelphia.

 FRATERNITY HOUSES 
 
 PSI UPSILON.— One of the first Fraternities at the University 
 of Pennsylvania to build its own club house was the Tau Chapter 
 of the Psi Upsilon, which owns the imposing gray stone building 
 at the forks of Woodland Avenue, Locust and Thirty-sixth Streets. 
 The style of architecture employed might be described as a modified 
 Collegiate Gothic. The plans were drawn by William D. Hewitt, 
 and the building was constructed of stone from the Chester Valley, 
 donated by one of the members. The trimmings are of Ohio stone. 
 The building has a frontage on Thirty-sixth Street of 64 feet, and 
 an average depth of 60 feet on Woodland Avenue and Locust 
 vStreet. On the main floor is a large central hall, reception room, 
 library and study; on the second and third floors are fourteen large 
 bedrooms, with the necessary shower and bath rooms. On the 
 third floor is also a large chapter, or initiation room, 24 feet 
 square. The floors and all the interior woodwork are of oak. 
 This building, and all the new Fraternity houses about the campus, 
 have their own steam or hot water heating systems, and are equipped 
 with everything necessary for a complete club house, including 
 huge open fireplaces. 
 
 DELTA PHI.— In front of the Psi Upsilon, at 3453 Woodland 
 Avenue, is the Delta Phi house, also known as the St. Elmo Club. 
 The front elevation comes out to the building line of Woodland 
 
197 
 
 Avenue, and forms the long side of a triangular lot, which gives 
 the building the appearance of being more massive than it really 
 is, its depth being rather shallow. The style of architecture might 
 be described as an adaptation of the Jacobean. The building is 
 constructed of hard burnt brick, ornamented by borders, copings 
 and projections of the same material. It is four stories high, and 
 on the second floor, facing the campus, is a small open loggia. 
 
 PHI KAPPA PSI .— Occupying four lots on the north side of 
 Locust Street, near Thirty-seventh, are two notable examples of 
 
 PSI UPSILON HOUSE. 
 
 modern Fraternity houses. These are the club houses of the Phi 
 Kappa Psi, and the Delta Psi. The alumni members of the latter 
 also have a general club house at 32 South Twenty-second Street. 
 The Phi Kappa Psi house was designed by Frank A. Rommel, and 
 the Delta Psi by Cope & Stewardson. The former, which was 
 dedicated on February 17, 1905, is also an adaptation of the Jacobean 
 style of architecture, but its lines are somewhat more simple than 
 
I 9 8 
 
 those of the Delta Phi. The building, which is 39 feet front by 
 80 feet deep, is constructed of red Scotch sandstone, and brick, 
 and has a slate roof. On the first floor is a living room, known as 
 "Cochran Hall," which was furnished by Mrs. S. B. Cochran as a 
 
 DELTA PHI HOUSE. 
 
 memorial to her son, the late James P. Cochran, '03 College. On 
 this floor are also the dining room, kitchen, etc., and billiard room. 
 The latter was furnished as a memorial by the parents of the late 
 John Gilbert Stoddart, who was a member of the chapter. The 
 
199 
 
 dining room, which accommodates forty men, is perhaps the most 
 tastefully decorated room of its kind at the University; the gro- 
 tesque frieze painted by Livingston Smith, '01 C, is a very artistic 
 piece of work. The house is well planned; the loggia, which covers 
 
 PHI KAPPA PSI HOUSE. 
 
 the entire front of the house, being used as a sun parlor in the winter 
 and an open porch in the summer. The entrance to the house is 
 on the side, opening into a hallway in which there is a spacious 
 staircase. It contains twenty-eight rooms in all; twenty of them 
 
200 
 
 on the second and third floors being used as bedrooms, with the 
 usual shower baths, linen rooms, etc. On the fourth floor is the 
 initiation hall. The house is finished in Flemish oak, with cream 
 tinted walls. The hangings and draperies are of a beautiful shade 
 of dark red, and all of the furniture is in keeping with the general 
 style of the interior.

 DELTA PSI HOUSE. 
 
 DELTA PSI.— Directly to the east of the Phi Kappa Psi is the 
 Delta Psi, known as St. Anthony Hall. The architecture of this 
 house is somewhat similar to that employed by the English in the 
 seventeenth century. The material is the same as that used on all 
 recently constructed University buildings — hard burnt brick with 
 
201 
 
 Indiana limestone trimmings. The architects have been particularly- 
 successful in their treatment of this building, which is considered 
 one of the best proportioned structures of its kind in Philadelphia, 
 and the color schemes of this and the new Phi Kappa Sigma house 
 are a delight to all lovers of beautiful buildings. Like its neighbor, 
 the main entrance is on the east side, this plan in both buildings 
 being adopted to give the entire Locust Street frontage of the first 
 floor to the main club room. On this floor is also a magnificent 
 dining room, which extends the full width of the building, and opens

 out upon a terrace overlooking a small garden. The other rooms 
 in the building correspond very nearly in number and size and 
 use to those of the Phi Kappa Psi. 
 
 PHI DELTA THETA.— The chapter house of the Phi Delta 
 Theta, at the west forks of Walnut Street, Woodland Avenue and 
 Thirty-fourth Street, was constructed in 1900. To the Phi Delta 
 Theta belongs the distinction of first adopting a style of architecture 
 which is in keeping with the various groups of later University 
 
202 
 
 buildings. It was designed by Oswald Shelly, 'oo C. The style 
 employed was a modified Collegiate Gothic. Like the University 
 buildings, it is constructed of hard burnt brick and sandstone, 
 trimmed with Indiana limestone. It contains ten bedrooms, 
 three bathrooms, a living room with an open fireplace, a billiard 
 room, and an initiation hall. 
 
 ZETA PSI. — In planning the Zeta Psi house at the eastern forks 
 of Walnut Street and Woodland AvenUe, the architects, Thomas, 
 Churchman & Molitor, treated the three fronts of the building so 
 that they would not only have a certain distinctiveness, but lead 
 
 ZETA PSI HOUSE. 
 
 even a casual observer to feel that the building was a part of the 
 University group; and they have given the whole structure, inside 
 and out, a most cheerful and homelike atmosphere. The roof is 
 covered with green and variegated slate of various sizes and thick- 
 nesses. The architecture of this building might also be classed 
 as of the Collegiate Gothic type, but well adapted to its environ- 
 ment. The material used in the construction is a rough brick, 
 laid with extremely wide mortar joints entirely of stretchers laid in 
 
203 
 
 pairs and singly, to give the effect of a header and stretcher wall. 
 The effect of the brickwork is somewhat similar to that of the 
 University Museum buildings. The beautiful simplicity of the 
 Walnut Street entrance is rivaled only by some of the doorways 
 and arches of the Dormitories. 
 
 PHI KAPPA SIGMA HOUSE. 
 
 PHI KAPPA SIGMA.— The style chosen for the home of the 
 Phi Kappa Sigma, at the northeast corner of Thirty-sixth and 
 Locust Streets, is a phase of Renaissance, or rather a modification 
 
204 
 
 ot the Georgian period, which harmonizes with the English Collegiate 
 style used in many of the new University buildings. It is one of 
 the most beautiful and impressive club houses in the city, and 
 instantly conveys the impression of belonging to the University 
 group. The architects were Bissell & Sinkler. The building is 
 constructed on a lot 40 by 95 feet, and consists of four stories over 
 a high basement. The materials are similar to those used in the 
 
 DELTA UPSILON HOUSE' BETA THETA PI,,HOUSE. 
 
 construction of the Dormitories, Indiana limestone being used 
 for the basement and the first story. The second and third floors 
 are of hard burnt brick, with limestone trimmings. The fourth 
 floor forms part of the roof, and has six dormer windows on Thirty- 
 sixth Street and one on Locust Street. One of the most fascinating 
 features of the building is the coping which extends over the top 
 
205 
 
 of the third story and the railing which surrounds the roof. The 
 entrance is through an artistic doorway on the east side of the build- 
 ing. On the second floor is the library, and a loggia overlooking 
 the campus of the University. The ceiling of this indoor porch 
 is supported by several plain Ionic columns. 
 
 BETA THETA PI.— Beta Theta Pi house is at 3529 Locust 
 Street. It faces south, and is directly opposite the main campus 
 
 PHI GAMMA DELTA HOUSE. 
 
 of the University. The lot has a frontage of only 20 feet and a 
 depth of 95 feet, but the architects, Savery, Sheetz & Savery, have 
 succeeded in designing an exceedingly attractive Fraternity house 
 in view of the rather difficult architectural problems which the 
 restricted width of the lot presented. The Locust Street facade 
 is an adaptation of Georgian period of English Collegiate archi- 
 tecture. Differing from other late University buildings, however 
 
206 
 
 this was constructed of red brick with white marble trimmings. 
 The entrance on the main street, flanked by two Greek columns 
 and entablature, gives an intimation of its character as a Greek- 
 letter Fraternity house. The building is five stories high, with a 
 cellar under the front part for the heating system. On the ground 
 floor is a visitors' reception room, a grand staircase, pantry, kitchen, 
 laundry, etc. On the first floor, which is ten feet above the side- 
 walk, is the general living or lounging room, and the dining room. 
 The second and third floors, and part of the fourth floor, are devoted 
 
 FRATERNITY ROW. 
 
 to sleeping rooms and baths. In the rear of the fourth floor is a 
 large initiation or lodge room, which is lighted only with high 
 windows. 
 
 PHI GAMMA DELTA HOUSE was built in 19 14, and is at 
 3619-21 Locust Street. It was designed by Walter Miller, a graduate 
 of the Architectural School, and conforms to the early English 
 Tudor period of architecture rather than the Jacobean or Elizabethan 
 to which many later University buildings conform. The entrance 
 leads to a low-studded wainscoted passage to the main hall which 
 
207 
 
 is extremely severe in treatment; the dining and club rooms adjoin 
 and a broad staircase leads to bedrooms and study rooms. 
 
 The dining room is large enough to seat about thirty-six men. 
 The west wall is entirely taken up by windows which, being glazed 
 with Cathedral glass, throw a mellow glow over the interior. The 
 east wall is wainscoted and provided with a dignified mantelpiece. 
 The room is a memorial to Charles Armand Elliot, and over the 
 doorway, cut in the stone lintel, appears a fitting inscription. The 
 club room is wainscoted about half way up with a balcony across 
 one end and is lighted by the great bay window on the front of the 
 building. It is patterned after the great halls to be found in old 
 English houses and, owing to its height, it has great dignity, and 
 with the sunlight pouring in through the windows lighting up the 
 rich woodwork and picking out spots of carving here and there, 
 with the added cheerfulness of a great open fireplace. 
 
 THE UNIVERSITY FLAG.— While the colors of the University, 
 ever since they were first used in 1873, have been red and blue, 
 because of frequent discussions about the exact shades of colors 
 and dimensions of flags, an official flag of the University of Pennsyl- 
 vania was adopted on June 15, 19 10. The colors are red and blue 
 and conform to the standards used by the United States Govern- 
 ment. The design is rectangular and consists of three vertical 
 bands — red, blue, and red, with the William Penn coat of arms 
 in the center of the blue band. The width of the red bands is 
 22/48 of the hoist, and the width of the blue band, 28/48 of the 
 hoist. The shield is rectangular, of a height equal to 20/48 of the 
 hoist and a width equal to 17/48 of the hoist. The fess occupies 
 approximately 1/3 of the height of the shield. 
 
 The Provo?t's flag is the standard of the University and has 
 in addition, a five-pointed star in the upper corner in the red field 
 of the hoist. Each department may fly a pennant of its own with 
 the official flag. Such pennant must not exceed twice the length 
 of the flag. The colors for the pennants are* Arts and Letters, 
 white; Science, golden yellow; Music, pink; Theology, scarlet; 
 Philosophy, dark blue; Law, purple; Medicine, green; Dentistry, 
 lilac; Veterinary, gray.

 OLD UNIVERSITY LANDMARKS 
 
 FIRST BUILDINGS.— On the west side of Fourth Street, below 
 Arch, stood the first building of the University of Pennsylvania, 
 erected in 1740. The site has long since been occupied by modern 
 business structures, although part of one of the buildings, erected 
 in 1762, is still standing. On one of the walls in an alley leading 
 to the site where stood the first University building, the Class of 
 1889 College erected a large bronze memorial tablet inscribed as 
 follows: 
 
 On this site stood the "New 
 Building" erected in 1740 
 
 for George Whitefield 
 and for a Charity School 
 Subsequently until 1802 
 it was used by the School 
 
 Academy College and 
 University of Pennsylvania 
 Successively — This tablet 
 was placed here by the 
 Class of 1889 College on the 
 Twentieth Anniversary of 
 their graduation June 1909 
 
 Alongside of this tablet is another erected by the Unitarians 
 of Philadelphia, inscribed as follows:

 of the 
 
 University of Pennsylvania 
 
 Which Stood Near this Spot 
 
 "The First Society of Unitarian Christians 
 
 in Philadelphia," being the first church 
 
 in America to adopt the Unitarian name, 
 
 was organized 12 June, 1796. 
 
 Under the influence of

 The Unitarians of Philadelphia 
 
 4 October, 1908 
 
 THE OLD JAIL was located at Third and Market Streets from 
 which Provost Smith taught his classes during February, March 
 and April of 1758. 
 
 OLD CHRIST CHURCH, on the west side of Second Street, 
 near Market, is closely associated with the early history of the 
 University. The Church was founded in 1695 under a charter 
 granted by Charles II to William Penn. In this Church the Colonial 
 Governors had their state pew. It was chartered by the Penn 
 
210 
 
 family, proprietaries of Pennsylvania, descendants of William 
 Penn. John Penn, who was one of the trustees of the University 
 from 1764 to 1779, the last male member of this line, is buried 
 near the steps of the pulpit. 
 
 It was in this church, in 1739, that George Whitefield preached; 
 and in 1740 a fund was raised with which the lot on Fourth Street, 
 below Arch, was purchased and a building erected for him in which 
 a Charity School was organized, which was the beginning of the 
 University. The baptismal font of the Church is dated 1695, and 
 is that in which Bishop White, 1765 College, was baptized. His 
 remains are interred before the chancel rail, and his bishopric chair 
 is beside the altar. Benjamin Franklin, the founder of the Uni- 
 versity, was a member of the committee which built the spire, 
 and he originally intended to try his electrical experiments with 
 a kite from its summit, then the highest point in Philadelphia. 
 He occupied pew number seventy. His remains are buried in the 
 parish grounds, at Fifth and Arch Streets, where are the graves 
 of many other men connected with the early history of the University 
 of Pennsylvania. Robert Morris, a trustee of the University from 
 1778 to 1 79 1, occupied pew number fifty-two. His remains are 
 buried beneath the Parish House. Francis Hopkinson, another 
 trustee and signer, occupied pew number sixty-five. The remains 
 of James Wilson, another signer, a graduate of the College, Pro- 
 fessor of English Literature at the University, its first Professor 
 of Law, one of the trustees, and Justice of the Supreme Court of 
 the United States, are also buried in the churchyard. 
 
 George Washington, an honorary alumnus of the University, 
 and Martha Washington, occupied pew number fifty-eight from 
 1790 to 1797, while he was President of the United States. This 
 pew was also occupied by John Adams while he was President, 
 and by Lafayette, also an honorary alumnus, on his second visit 
 to Philadelphia. 
 
 Among the distinguished clergymen who have been rectors of 
 the church, besides Bishop White, were: Bishop Welton; Bishop 
 William H. Delancey, who was a trustee in 1826, and Provost of 
 the University from 1828 to 1834; Bishop Kemper; Dr. William 
 Augustus Muhlenberg, of the Class of 1815, one of the founders 
 of the Philomathean Society of the University, and author of many 
 famous hymns, was rector from 18 17 to 1822; Rev. Dr. Thomas 
 Coombe, of the Class of 1766, who was chaplain to King George III, 
 and Rev. Dr. Robert Blackwell, chaplain of the American Army 
 at Valley Forge, and on whom the University conferred an honorary 
 degree in 1788, were also rectors of this parish. 
 
 SITE OF THE OLD ANATOMICAL HALL of the Medical 
 Department, on the east side of Fifth Street, between Chestnut 
 and Walnut. Occupied from 1765 to 1802.

 OLD CHRIST CHURCH.

 THE SITE OF THE OLD PRESIDENTIAL MANSION, at 
 
 Ninth and Chestnut Streets, where the United States Postoffice 
 now stands. The building was erected by the State of Pennsylvania 
 as a residence for the President of the United States while the capital 
 was in Philadelphia. The cornerstone of this building is on exhibi- 
 tion in the Library of the University. The University occupied 
 this site from 1802 to 1873, when it moved to its present location. 
 A bronze statue, by John J . Boyle, of Benjamin Franklin, the founder 
 of the University, has been erected on the Chestnut Street side of 
 the old site. 
 
 AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY BUILDING in Inde- 
 pendence Square. Society consolidated with a society founded by 
 Franklin, and part of this building was used by the Medical School 
 in its early days. 
 
 CONGRESS HALL, at the southeast corner of Sixth and Chest- 
 nut Streets, still remains. It was occupied by the United States 
 Congress for ten years from 1790 to 1800, when Philadelphia was 
 the National Capital. This building, and two adjacent buildings 
 since demolished, were occupied by the Law School of the Uni- 
 versity from 1895 to 1899, the old Senate and House of Representa- 
 tives chambers in this building were used as class rooms. A bronze 
 tablet has been subscribed for to be placed on the Sixth Street wall 
 of this building and the inscription is to be as follows: 
 
 CONGRESS HALL 
 
 The University of Pennsylvania Law School occupied this building from 1895 
 to 1900, also the building known as the "New Court House," which stood in 
 Independence Square directly south of Congress Hall. 
 
 This tablet is erected by the members of the seven classes of the University, 
 who cherish the memory of their student days spent in the halls occupied by 
 Congress from 1790 to 1800, and the privilege of pursuing their studies in the 
 same room in which, in 1793, Washington was inaugurated President; as also 
 John Adams, in 1797, and Jefferson as Vice-President; and where Chief Justice 
 Marshall, in announcing the death of Washington, offered the resolution "That 
 a committee be appointed to consider the most suitable manner of paying honor 
 to the memory of the man first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his 
 countrymen." 
 
 WILLIAM SMITH'S HOUSE AT FALLS CREEK —William 
 Smith, the first Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, lived 
 for many years in a house situated on a bluff or hill which bordered 
 the Falls Creek and the Ridge Road, south of Indian Queen Lane. 
 This spot, known as Smith's Hill, commanded a beautiful view of 
 the Schuylkill both to the south and to the north. The mansion 
 was occupied by him in 1773, and, with the exception of a few years, 
 he lived there until 1803. Two of the buildings on this estate 
 still remain, although somewhat altered. The mansion, an L- 
 shaped house, the main arm facing to the west, is situated on the 
 
214 
 
 summit of the hill. It is substantially built, with a fine poroh on 
 its western face, terraces, and a lawn extending towards the bluff. 
 
 HOUSE IN SPRING STREET WHERE FRANKLIN LIVED.— 
 
 An ancient three-story brick dwelling at 1 1 1 Spring Street, a small 
 thoroughfare near Front and Race Streets, is said to have been at 
 one time the home of Benjamin Franklin, the founder of the Uni- 
 versity of Pennsylvania. After arriving in Philadelphia the tradi- 
 tion is that he boarded in this house for a number of years, occupy- 
 ing one of the rooms in the attic. When he became more prosperous 
 he removed to a large residence on Market Street, between Third 
 and Fourth Streets, which was demolished many years ago. The 
 
 
 SMITH MANSION, VIEW FROM THE SOUTHWEST. 
 
 house on Spring Street is said to have been one of the first brick 
 dwellings built in Philadelphia, and was erected many years before 
 Franklin lived in it.

 SONGS 
 
 HAIL! PENNSYLVANIA 
 
 By Edgar M. Dilley, '97 
 
 (Air, Russian Hymn) 
 
 Hail! Pennsylvania, noble and strong; 
 To thee with loyal hearts we raise our song. 
 Swelling to Heaven loud, our praises ring; 
 Hail! Pennsylvania, of thee we sing! 
 
 Majesty as a crown rests on thy brow; 
 Pride, Honor, Glory, Love, before thee bow. 
 Ne'er can thy spiiit die, thy walls decay: 
 Hail! Pennsylvania, for thee we pray I 
 
 Hail! Pennsylvania! guide of our youth; 
 Lead thou thy children on to light and truth; 
 Thee, when death summons us, others shall praise, 
 Hail! Pennsylvania, thro' endless days. 
 
 BEN FRANKLIN 
 
 By Charles I. Junkin, '77 
 
 Music by Edward G. McCollin, '78 
 
 H'rah! H'rah! H'rah! 
 Penn-syl-van-i-a ! 
 In days of old as we are told 
 
 There lived a man named Ben ; 
 A friend was he, and so are we, 
 To Pennsylvania men. 
 
 A ready blade, he often made 
 
 Ingenious little toys; 
 He built a kite with great delight. 
 
 And shocked the little boys. 
 
 This ancient squire did then aspire 
 
 A public school to found ; 
 And with a dash he raised the cash 
 
 And bought a lot of ground. 
 
 And now we raise our song of praise 
 
 To good old Father Ben; 
 A friend was he, and so are we, 
 
 To Pennsylvania men. 
 
 Chorus 
 
 Ben Franklin was his name, 
 And not unknown to fame; 
 The founder first was he 
 Of the U-ni-ver-si-tee.

 THE RED AND BLUE 
 By Harry E. Westervelt, '98 
 Music by William J. Coeckel, '96 
 
 Come all ye loyal classmen now, 
 
 In hall and campus through, 
 Lift up your hearts and voices for 
 
 The royal Red and Blue. 
 We ask no other emblem, 
 
 No other sign to view, 
 We only ask to see and cheer 
 
 Our colors Red and Blue. 
 
 Chorus 
 
 Hurrah, Hurrah, Pennsylvania, 
 Hurrah for the Red and Blue. 
 
 Hurrah, Hun ah, Hurrah, Hurrah, 
 Hurrah for the Red and Blue. 
 
 And now through all the years to come, 
 
 In midst of toil and care, 
 We'll get new inspiration 
 
 From the colors waving there. 
 And when to all our college life 
 
 We've said our last adieu. 
 We'll never say adieu to thee, 
 
 Our colors Red and Blue. 
 
 ALMA MATER 
 
 Old Alma Mater, great and grand, 
 
 Renown'd from sea to sea. 
 Where'er thy loyal sons shall stand, 
 
 They'll e'er be true to thee. 
 The sight of thy majestic halls, 
 
 With ivy overgrown, 
 The fondest memory recalls, 
 
 That we have ever known. 
 
 Chorus 
 
 Ah! Pennsylvania, 
 
 Dear Pennsylvania, 
 
 We'll e'er be true — to Red and Blue 
 
 Of Pennsylvania. 
 
 Dear Penn, tho' spacious be thy halls, 
 
 And wide thy campus spread 
 And tho' thy adamantine walls 
 
 Tall, tower overhead, 
 Yet all too narrow are thy bounds 
 
 Our fealty to contain, 
 For hark! the very sky resounds 
 
 And echoes our refrain.
