A FACULTY GROUP AGRICULTURAL BUILDING FROM THE NORTH How We Grow The University of Arizona has been marked from its first organization by a gradual and steady development. This growth has not only been a material one in the formation of a campus with fine buildings and grounds, with the accompanying increase in the faculty and a greater enrollment, but also an advancement in educational standards, and as a result of these the acquisition of that necessary though intangible element, the confidence of the people of the State. From Commencement in 1895 to Commencement in 1916 the distance is long in years; but longer in the advancement made. When in 18 91 the cld Main B uilding was opened first for classes, thirty -one student came to be instructed by eight members of the Faculty.Old Main was the only building to break the sweep of the greasewood- covered desert, for Tucson was but a handful of adobe houses on the Santa Cruz. The life of the whole institution centered in this building.In it were the administration offices, recitation rooms, laboratories of the various departments, the library, the Experiment Station, and the Territorial Museum.The basement was even used as a dormitory for the men students. Most of the students lived in town, however, and came out to the University in an old street car drawn by two mules, a we'1 -known feature of pioneer days. Four years later -the first Commencement -there were the beginnings of our present Campus, for West Cottage and East Cottage -professors' homes and the President's cottage -had been built. Lawns were started in the front of the buildings; but there were no large trees to break the barren sweep of desert that stretched away on all sides.Out of the forty -seven students, three were graduated, receiving diplomas tied not with red and blue, but with sage, green, and silver, the college colors at that time. By 1904 the Campus was the same as today with the exception of the buildings of Science, Agriculture, and Arizona Hall. North Hall was completed in 1897; South Hall in 1901; the Dining Hall, 1902, the dining hall, previous to this being in North Hall; Herring Hall, 1904; the Library, 1904.The Science Building was finished in 1909; Arizona Hall in 1913; while the Agri- cultural Building was completed in 1915. The town of Tucson had grown up to and around the University, so that when the Commencement of 1916 was held many people gathered on the lawn near the vine -covered Old Main Building to watch the impressive procession of black- gowned professors, the Alumni who had returned to their Alma Mater, and this year's graduates march up the tree -lined walks. The Student Body has always been an active force.Even when few in numbers they issued a college paper, the " Sage, Green, and Silver," which snapped with life and interest. As for athletics, in 1902 the first football team was organized which was successful in several games.
