Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Technograph, Vol. 27: December, 1912
It is not the purpose of this article to review the various plans which have been conceived for our campus development but rather to sum up conditions as they are today and survey the outlook for the future. From the time when Doctor Gregory and Doctor Burrill first forecasted the future campus by laying out Burrill Avenue and locating University Hall, down through the various studies submitted by C. H. Blackall, '77, State Ar chitect W. C. Zimmerman and others, the growth towards a com prehensive and adequate scheme for the future development of our campus has been steady but rather erratic. At the present time Prof. James M. White, Supervising Architect has charge of the campus development and under his regime a feasible plan has been worked out with more admirable features than would seem possible considering the restrictions imposed by existing conditions. It is this plan that the writer will discuss.
The plan provides for a future growth south of the present South Campus to the Cemetery Grounds and west to the I. C. Tracks. Of this area the University now owns the 160 acres between the auditorium and the cemetery and extending from Lin coln Avenue to Fourth street. The portion east of Mathews Avenue will be reserved for the outdoor laboratory work of the departments of Horticulture and Agronomy and about thirty acres between the line of Sixth Street extended and Fourth Street will be immediately available for the military department.
The main axis of the campus is the Meridian passing through the center of the Auditorium which will be intersected by an east and west axis a few feet south of the road in front of the present row of barns.
