BUILDINGS. 



Some of the more liberal appropriations for new buildings have 

 been noted in a previous paragraph. Several important buildings 

 for the accommodation of agricultural work in the land-grant col- 

 leges are now in process of construction and several have recently 

 been completed and the more important of them dedicated with 

 appropriate ceremonies. Some of these are described in the follow- 

 ing paragraphs. 



GEORGIA. 



A new home for the Georgia State College of Agriculture has been 

 completed at a cost of about $100,000, and is now occupied (PI. IX, 

 fig. 1). The new building is located about half a mile from the 

 present center of the university campus, on Compton Hill, one of 

 the most commanding sites in the- vicinity of Athens. From the 

 front of the building an excellent view is obtained of the city, while 

 the rear windows command a general view of the college farm. 



The building is plaiidy but substantially built and is excellently 

 proportioned. It is 264 feet long by 72 to 84 feet wide. There 

 are two stories and a high basement. The foundation and window 

 lintels are of Bedford limestone with terra-cotta trinunings to define 

 the elevations of each story. Cream-colored brick has been used in 

 the construction and harmonizes well with the trimmings. Wide 

 projecting eaves overhang the building, which is surmounted by a 

 red tile roof. A broad flight of granite steps leads up to the main 

 entrance and gives a substantial and imposing appearance to the 

 entire structure. Each story is 10 feet high and the hallways are 

 10 feet wide, which insures room for the passage of large numbers
