In the center foreground of the picture is Bucknell Hall. Clockwise is the President's House at the corner of University Avenue and Loomis Street. Between the President's House and Tustin Gymnasium ( at the far left ) is the athletic field surrounded by a running track. In 1893, students had requested that a running track be constructed on campus, and in 1897 the Trustees provided $200.00 to make a cinder running track with the provision that the remaining funds be provided by the alumni. To the right of the gymnasium on top of The Hill is the Men's College Quadrangle. East College, Old Main and West College are clearly visible. Carnegie Library is slightly visible behind the west wing of Old Main. Down hill from West College is East Hall and the Academy Building. At the base of The Hill is the Chemical Laboratory. In the lower right corner of the picture is the Women's College: the dormers are atop Bucknell Cottage, next to which is the former Institute Building, t o which is attached the South Hall Wing. New Cottage is next to the South Hall wing.

Note the open fields of farmland and the small wooded areas beyond the College at the right rear of the picture. In the 1920's the Bucknell campus began to expand into this area after the University purchased the 170-acre George Barron Miller farm in 1920. To the left rear is the Susquehanna River.

The "photogravure", which is the source of this image, was a personal undertaking on the part of the Registrar in 1908. Two hundred and fifty copies were made a cost of $700.00. The pictures were sold at $5.00 each. When the cost of the printing was covered, the remaining pictures were used in High Schools, Academies and other public places. This image also appeared in issues of the Catalogue of Bucknell University.
