Questions that concern
the student body
There are "rights” and "wrongs” in col
lege fashion, just as there are in every ex
amination paper. The cut and cloth of a
jacket . . . the color and shape of hat . . .
the character of a necktie ... the angle and
spacing of a collar . . . the right amount
of good-looking apparel a fellow needs to
lead a full and happy life in the halls of
learning .. . these are matters on which we
have great experience, tact and knowledge.

Where Is This House?
ONE OF THE foremost nurseries In Amer
ica surrounded this house soon after It
was built. Its original owner was an emi
nent horticulturist, and he planted the 82
acres then belonging to the estate with
many rare specimens of plants and trees.
These grounds supplied many of the trees
and shrubs planted In Washington, Includ
ing some of those In Lafayette Bquare. To
day, a nature trail marked like a treasure
hunt winds around the grounds adjacent to
the house.
On the front wall near the roof, there is
carved In stone the date, 1823. On the wall
of the wing there appears another date,
1843. Both are believed to be dates of con
struction of the two units. The wing Is
currently used as a motion-picture theater.
The house Is built of blue granite stone;
Its walls are 24 Inches thick.
In the basement is an old country fire
place six feet long, complete with baking
oven. Today a collection of antique stuffed
birds stands on the mantelpiece.

million years old and weighing over 800
pounds.
In days gone by, many famous people
came to the mansion, among them Daniel
Webster and Henry Clay. At one time,
there hung on the walls of the drawing
room pictures of Powhatan and Pocahontas,
from whom a later owner proudly claimed
to be direqtly descended.
Today, caged snakes, toads, turtles and
honeybees Inhabit the rooms which once
were a meeting place of prominent Wash
ingtonians. There are unique exhibits of
horn beetles and house mosquitoes, hickory
nuts and pine cones, soapstone, salt and
sulphur, local clay craft and honeysuckle
baskets.
Since 1858 It haa been a facility for
developing appreciation of the outdoors.
The property was named after the
Swedish botanist, Karl von Linnaeus, and
the builder was Joshua Pierce.
