The first forty years experienced a rapid growth of the buildings and agricultural lands which now make up the central campus. The three major educational buildings, illustrated from left to right, are the Household Arts building, the Administration building, and the dormitory. The early campus also possessed a power plant and many farm structures and shops, and much of the surrounding land was devoted to hay, grain, fruit, and grazing.
