The sexes mingle freely under proper care in the class rooms, parlors,

students, and the relations between them are such, that there is comI)arative freedom from the dangers and temptations ordinarily incident to college life. The buildings are heated throughout by steam,
lighted by gas, and tlif>rouglily ventilated.
The Science Hall is constructed of stone, in the most durable
manner, and was planned with special reference to the work of students in Engineering and Chemistry. The centre l)uilding has a
