52 IN AND OUT OF ITHACA. 



Standing somewhat back from the road, and half hid- 

 den by the foliage of the native forest trees that sur- 

 round it, it presents a charming picture. The house 

 contains, besides many valuable works of art, the larger 

 part of the private library of President White, number- 

 ing some 20,000 volumes. 



East Avenue extends north of the President's House 

 till it terminates on a bluff near the bank of Fall Creek. 

 Throughout its entire length it is lined with the resi- 

 dences of members of the Faculty, each residence being 

 unique in design, and differing completely from all the 

 others. Bordered with a broad stone walk shaded b} r 

 elms, East Avenue is one of the pleasantest parts of 

 the University grounds.
