Description
A description of the institution from the 1917 Kanza.
"Our Campus consists of fifty-five acres, upon which there are situated three splendid permanent buildings--Russ Hall, The Industrial Arts Building, and the Power Plant. The legislature, at its last session voted us another beautiful building, Carney Hall, wish is to be a Home Economics and Science Building. Also an auditorium with a capacity for three thousand people. Aside from these permanent buildings, we have three temporary buildings, an auditorium, which will seat two thousand people, a building housing the commercial department and cafeteria. The cafeteria will be housed in the new Home Economics Building upon its completion.
"The color scheme of the buildings harmonizes beautifully with the landscape of this particular section of Kansas. They are built of red brick and trimmed with buff brick and terra-cotta.
"The enrollment of the Normal for this year has surpassed that of all others by far, being about 2800 for the school year. It requires a faculty of 60 instructors to take care of this ever increasing student body."
