The Campus and University Buildings The land occupied by the Univei ity and its S( veral departments embraces 225 acres, besides a farm of 855 acres. The main part of the campus, the part used most for ordinary class work, is a long, narrow strip lying between th< residence districts of Champaign and Urbana. The dividing line between the two towns is Wright Street, which forms the west boundary of the campus. Thus the University is located within the city limits of Urbana. University Avenue, which extends directly east from the Illinois Central Railroad station in Champaign, touches the north end of the campus. From this street south to the lower end of the campus proper is a distance of one and one-half miles. The north end of the campus is devoted to the athletic interests, containing Illinois Field and the Men's Gymnasium. The part of the campus between Springfield Avenue, the street intersecting the campus at the Men's Gymnasium, and Green Street embraces the buildings of the engineering group. The middle campus contains mainly buildings occupied by departments of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; and with the exception of the Military Drill field, the College of Agriculture and the Agriculture Experiment Station, use the entire south campus. The privileges of the campus and the buildings are open to all members of the University, except where tl e to the contrary is post 1.
