1'ii.versity : Thirty-six years ago con

"In joung Nebraska, as in the older
states, the earliest buildings were
those for more general uses, where
the demands for room were greatest.
Tints, for more than a decade the
needs of nil departments in all colleges
were met in this university by Uni
versity hall, with its thirty small
rooms. 1 hen Chemical hall was erect
ed, and for a few years, in addition
to supplying lalxiratoriivs and lecture
rooms for chemistry, it hospitably
gave space to the growing depart
ments of botany and physics.
