This house fronts west 52×44. with vestibule 18×10. and back extensions 116. There are twenty rooms, besides two cottages. 2 barns with stables, ice-house and other out buildings. It was built by Wm. W. Hudson, formerly President of the University. It is a large and excellent house, and beautifully located within less than half a mile from the Campus. By appointment of the Board, the Dean of the Agricultural College now occupies this house, and takes direct charge and control of all the operations on the farm. Just as the President of the University is required to live in the dwelling on the Campus, and is charged with the care of the property thereon, so the Dean of the Agricultural College is required to live in the main dwelling on the farm, and to act the practical farmer.
