This purpose has been steadily kept in view and has made the town a resort for · cultivated and in telligent people. It has ready access to the commer~ial world, . but is sufficiently removed to afford an agreeable retirement. The college campus is in· the southern part of the town . It consists of twenty acres upon the north and west shore of Lake Virginia and rises fifty feet in gradual slope from ·-the water. There are no"v six buildings on the college campus, all erected within the past thirteen years: Knowles Hall, .con taining the recitation rooms and·chapel; Pinehurst, containing librari, offices, laboratory, etc.; Dining Hall; the Lyman Gym nasium; _Lakeside, the dormitory for young men; and Clov~r- leaf, that for the young women. · The authorities of the college do not believe in the large dormitory system of lodging students. The college has there fore built cottages of moderate size, in each of which_ a matron or a member of the faculty · lives and has supervision of the students. Eack room £s arranged /or a single .occupant. ._ One cottage is occupied exclusively by young women, tw~ others ex- ROLLINS COLLEG~. 5 elusively by young men.
