SIBLEY COLLEGE. 



East of the Physical and Chemical building stands 

 Sibley College, facing south, and forming the northern 

 boundary to the Campus proper. The main part is 

 similar in material and style of construction to the three 

 main University buildings, and is one hundred and 

 sixty feet long, forty feet wide and three stories high. 

 Brick workshops enclose the three remaining sides of a 

 quadrangle of which the main building forms the front. 

 The college with its equipment is the gift of the Hon. 

 Hiram Sibley of Rochester, New York. The first build- 

 ing was erected in 1871, and in 1885 extensive additions, 

 including the large workshops and an extension, were 

 made, while at the same time the equipment was 

 materially increased and the organization changed, so 

 that to-day Sibley College ranks easily among the first 

 of the technical schools of the country. The visitor to 

 the college should enter by the east door, which leads 

 him into a spacious hall, where a directory to the entire 

 building is placed. A door on the right opens into a 

 large lecture room, handsomely fitted with improved 

 chairs with writing shelves attached for note-taking, 

 and with a fine selection of models and drawings of va- 

 rious machines for purposes of illustration. From the 

 main hall a stairway leads to the second story, which 

 contains another lecture room similar to the other, ad- 

 joining which is the private room of the Director. On
