Its object,- as expressed in . its ch~rter, was to establish and forever maintain an institution of Christian learning, to promote the general interests -of education, t~ qualify its students to engage in t4e learned . professions or. other employments of sQciety, and ~o discharge honorably an4, usefully the various duties of life. · The college is located at Winter Park. · This town is situated four miles north of Orlando, the cpunty seat of Orange eounty. It is on the Plant System and Florida Central & Peninsular railroads, hence is easily accessible from alf parts of the state. Tl;le town is in the "high pine" country and •sur- . rounded by numerous beautiful lakes~ From the ~hores of these lakes the land rises in gradual slope, furni~hing perfect drainage and providing most desirable sites for building. · The town is noted for its general healthfulness and i·s especially free from malarial di ease. · Winter Park was designed by its fonnders to be a center of educational influence. 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.
