8 Materials tnake the architecture, but that Georgian Revival, the James E. Morrow Library has a touch of Williamsburg. Its 100,000-plus volumes are used extensively; and its main reading room, thronged daily, is perhaps the most popular study place on campus. The Freshman Women's Dormitory, with its modern style of architecture, was completed in In its short period of use it has become a campus center. Behind its walls you can find 184 women studying into the wee hours of the morning, sleeping between classes, or gossiping at any time of day (or night).

9 which goes on inside ls tnostly thought of The Science Hall is a beautifully-equipped haven for inquisitive students whose questions may be answered through research work in its laboratories. The light on the Gothic arch of Northcott shines through the darkness just as the sun reflects on the Romanesque windows of Old Main. Although materials and architecture put together by the hands of skilled craftsmen may make a beautiful building, a structure alone has no other significance. A building is created for no other function than to serve the people who make use of its rooms and halls. A building will not bring forth ideas, thoughts, dreams; it can only encourage them. 9

10 Add a few trees, som.e shrubbery, some 10 Rhododendron jewels the afternoon shade of Old Main's north side with blossoms in spring. The Marshall Beech is the oldest living object on campus. The initials and scars on its trunk show how it has withstood time. The Sixteenth Street sycamores, more than anything else, give summer's presence to the west campus.

11 grass, and a center of learning etnerges Trees, buildings, shrubs, plots of grass - these things make up the physical campus of Marshall College. In autumn the winds blow the leaves from the trees, the election signs from their tackings, and the football-trampled dust into the air. In w inter the winds slow down and there is a heavy silence. Everything becomes a stark silhouette against the gray, overcast sky. Things perk up when March breathes in some life; and when spring comes the grass awakens, the leaves sprout in the warm breezes, and the sound of tennis racket against the ball is heard over the singing of the birds. With spring comes the softly, gently dropping rain. The thermometer continues to rise, and then comes summer, when everything is in full bloom, except, perhaps, the students. Summer School is always well attended; but little happens after the academic day is over, for the heat does not make for a lively time. After it appears that the sun has burned its course, September rolls around, and the campus comes to life with the restoring vitality of returning students. But the leaves are ready to change their colors again, and before long the winds are blowing the once firmly fixed leaves into the air. The ivy on the grounds supposedly descends from cuttings brought from Princeton University. The pine tree in front of the Union is often passed without a glance; yet it has been the scene of many a passing conversation. Green and alive in the dead of winter, shrub sentinels stand silently on the bustling campus. 11

12 The bustling Clty makes a panorama on which From the businessman's viewpoint Huntington, West Virginia is the state's largest city, the center of commerce between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, and the largest port on the Ohio River in terms of tonnage. From the student's standpoint the city is the end of his train trip, the destination to which he returns to continue his studies. Huntington is the home of Marshall College, and it is impossible to consider one without the other. By training most of its teachers, by sponsoring much of its cultural program, and through the activities of its personnel and graduates the College has an unusual influence on the city. The main avenues are wide, the rule is for a house to be on a large lot, and residential streets are lined with trees. There are exceptionally large percentages of doctors and churches per capita. Surfaced streets and alleys cover 275 miles. One can easily see why the river has earned its reputation of "Beautiful Ohio." In the summertime people take advantage of the city's three boat clubs and cruise along on the smooth waters. In spring the smooth flow changes to a rapid pace when the waters rise after winter snows have melted. Spring floods are constant threats, but when summer comes the waters recede; and again you see the boats - little boats, and big boats pushing great barges with freight from many factories.

13 the College sets 1ts far--wielding influence Creative arts and crafts, nature, and music appreciation are all combined in an extensive workshop program with the museum proper at the Huntington Galleries. Children's classes and adult workshops are making it a center of civic development. Many students like to drive out in autumn and sketch around the colorful grounds. Leafy green in summer and a fairy wonderland in winter, the park system is so well planned that one needs travel no more than one-half to three-quarters of a mile to reach a recreation area. Summer School students especially appreciate being able to picnic in Ritter Park, left, and it is a fact that its driveways are also freely used at night. The city recently completed the construction of four municipal swimming pools, and students and townspeople alike flocked to escape the heat. Huntington weather ranges anywhere from near zero to over one hundred degrees Fahrenheit, but the annual mean is a pleasant fifty-six degrees. At left is privately - owned Dreamland pool in suburban Kenova. While its population is under 100,000, the city serves as a trading center for a three-state, fourteen-county area with a population of over 600,000. Its retail stores do a large volume of business, and many Marshall students hold part time jobs. Only a medium-sized city, nevertheless Huntington combines most of the resources of the large city with the atmosphere of the town, and it emerges with the advantages of both, and few of the disadvantages.
