PATTERSON HALL.  .
This Hall, a home for the young women of the College, is a large and i
handsome three-story structure of about a hundred and fifty feet front, built j
- on a fine site of more than three acres lying along the electric railway on  V
South Limestone Street. Within a quarter of a mile of the College on the ,  
south, a half mile of the Court House, the Phoenix Hotel and the Post·office Z
on the north, and distant not more than ten minutes by rail from the princi-  v_
pal churches of the city, Patterson Hall is, for all purposes, admirably _
located. The building is heated by steam, lighted by gas and electricity,  
and supplied with the purest of water. It has a roomy front porch of 12 by  {
70 feet, wide halls, a closet in every bed room, and thirteen bath rooms.  .
\Vith walks, drives and numerous old forest trees, the spacious front lawn is ~
an inviting place for exercise, for which ample provision has also been made ;
on the extensive grounds, with a tennis court, in the rear, as well as in the ,
large gymnasium. 1 
Sixty-two commodious and well-furnished rooms afford accommoda—  
tion fora hundred and twenty-four occupants for whom the careful and
judicious matron will provide lodging free, and excellent board for $3 a /
week, the inmates furnishing their own napkins and towels, and their own =
bedding, except mattresses and pillows, and paying their laundry bills. `
Built durably of stone, brick, wood and iron, and made practically fire-
proof, at a cost of $60,000; with adequate provision for heat, light, ventila- ’
tion, bathing and exercise, this Hall offers all the comforts and conveniences .
l of a well-appointed l1o111e. Q
County appointees are first supplied with rooms, and these, by act of the  
Legislature, are assigned by lot.  L
Probably no educational institution in the South affords a more attract-  
ive home for young women; and those who are favored with a county ap- 3
pointment, the mode of obtaining which is set forth elsewhere in this cata-  V
logue, will find that residence at The State College is brought within the  ·
means of any young woman \Vl1O earnestly desires to fit herself for a life of
usefulness. Q
