MORRILL HALL AND WHITE HALL. 



Returning again # to the Main Avenue at the point 

 where. the drive branches off to the President's House, 

 the visitor first comes to a large stone building on the 

 left of the avenue. This is Morrill Hall. This building 

 was the first one erected by the University, and shares 

 with Cascadilla the honor of having accommodated the 

 first classes. When first erected it was called, "The 

 University. ' ' After other buildings were erected it was 

 called South Hall. Finally it was formally named Mor- 

 rill Hall in honor of the Hon. Justin S. Morrill. The 

 material of the building is blue stone quarried on the 

 University grounds, with trimmings of light Medina 

 stone. The building is divided into three divisions or 

 halls, by partitions running from roof to basement. In 

 the south hall are the offices of the President, the 

 Treasurer, the Dean and the Registrar, on the first floor. 

 The upper floors are occupied by lecture rooms. In the 

 middle hall on the left is the Faculty Room, where the 

 meetings of the General Faculty are held. In this 

 room are large oil portraits of Ex-President White, the 

 Hon. Hiram Sibley, and the Hon. Justin S. Morrill. 

 The portrait of the Hon. Henry W. Sage is soon to be 

 added to the collection. On the right of the hall is the 

 Agricultural museum, which also occupies the basement
