"Down hill, + across Clover Creek, is the gymnasium. Most of the funds for this were contributed by Tacoma friends (in memory of those who died in WW2). It was dedicated in December, this past winter, after a basketball game with U. of Wash., whose president spoke."
"At the N.W. corner we pause to look across to the campus, thru the large fir trees which are such a constant source of delight."

"3 members of the science faculty.appear in this view. They are, l. to r. -- (Vernor) Johnson of Biology, (Anders) Ramstad of Chemistry, + (Harry) Adams of Math. This is Johnson's 2nd year -- Adams' 1st, but Ramstad has been here 20. (Science is now Ramstad Hall.) Note fluorescent lights on 2nd floor."
"Going outside we look across at the library from the N.W. corner of Sc. Hall."
"This view is somewhat the same, but also shows the S.W. corner of the Main Bldg."

"This view shows it as seen thru the trees from the Science Hall."
