of the buildings, designed by Steward-
son and Cope, is Jacobean Gothic. The
grounds were laid out by Olmstead
| Brothers, who made the plans of Central |
Park.
The site of the college was discovered
by Dr. Taylor one day while he was
taking a walk. As he stood on the crest
ing meadows and woodlands, he exclaim-
ed, “This is an ideal place for a woman’s
college.” From that time, he bent all his
energies towards the erection of the
buildings, making daily visits from his
home to the grounds to superintend
their construction. Taylor Hall, the cen-
ter building on the campus, was named
after the founder.
It was completed in 1897 and combined
a library, laboratory, class rooms, and
professors’ offices.
Merion Called Cottage No. |.
Merion Hall, the building north of Tay-
lor and facing the green, was the first
dormitory put up and was then called
“Cottage No. 1.” The original plans were
modified because of the expense, but by
1885, “Cottage No. 1” was finished, its
total cost being $66,725. The first grad-
uate from Bryn Mawr, the one member
in the Class of 1888, the twenty-four
members of the Class of 1889, and all the
instructors, among them Dr. Scott, pro-
fessor of Mathematics, lived in this hall.
The Owl Gate, main entrance to the
college for pedestrians, is formed by the
central tower of Rockefeller Hall, the
newest of the halls of residence. Rocke-
feller, which adjoins Pembroke West, is
the gift of Mr. John D. Rockefeller, and
was opened in April, 1904. A central pow-
er house built the same year was part of
Mr. Rockefeller’s gift, and furnishes heat,
electric light, and hot water for the col-
lege buildings.
With the gateway tower joining Pem-
broke East and West, Mr. Cope and Mr.
Stewardson, according to an article by
President Thomas, created the first of
the beautiful college entrance towers in
America. The grey stones are built into
the wall of the buildings in a particularly
artistic way, many of them laid in by
the architects themselves.
The Library, a Jacobean Gothic build-
ing of the period of 1630, forms three
sides of a closed quadrangle. The main
reading room of the library was modeled
according to President Thomas’ suggestion,
after the dining hall of Wadham College,
Oxford, presenting the exterior aspect of
an English college chapel.
