Curving L., the road passes the PRESIDENT'S HOUSE (R), a spacious Georgian Colonial brick residence. Next is MACNIE HALL, a cooperative men's residence hall, named for John Macnie, for 20 years a member of the faculty, and composer of the university _Alma Mater_. Vine-covered CHANDLER HALL (R), named for Elwin Chandler, dean emeritus of the school of engineering, is headquarters during Engineers' Day held the last Friday in April each year. DAVIS HALL (R), women's dormitory, is the second oldest building on the campus, erected in 1887. It houses the home economics department. ENGLISH COULEE (R), so-called because an Englishman is said to have drowned in it, borders the campus on the W. Between Davis Hall and the WOMEN'S GYMNASIUM the stream curves, creating the impression that the opposite bank is a wooded island. This far bank is the stage of the BANKSIDE THEATER, and the concave bank facing it is used to seat the audience. The theater is the scene of an Interfraternity Sing held the last week in May. The original Bankside Theater, about one block N. of the present site, was dedicated in 1914 and is said to have been the first open air theater to make use of the natural curve of a stream to separate the stage from the auditorium. The initial performance given here, _A Pageant of the Northwest_, was written by students of the Sock and Buskin Society (now the Dakota Playmakers) under the direction of Prof. Frederick Koch, who is distinguished for his work in American folk drama. The banks of English Coulee have fostered both drama and romance. College sweethearts spend their evenings by this stream, admiring the reflection of the moon in the water. The custom is known locally as "coulee-banking." Thirteen social fraternities, including 11 national groups, are represented at the university, and there are 10 sororities, 9 of them national. The houses along Fraternity Row on University Avenue and the other streets near the campus present the architecture of many nations and periods. A French chateau shouldering a stucco cottage, a graceful Georgian Colonial residence standing between an English country house and an Italian mansion, and houses of Spanish and English design form a quaint architectural democracy that is, perhaps, a fitting background for the social life of a student body representing various nations. 12. WESLEY COLLEGE, N. of University Ave. opposite the University of North Dakota, is the first of the Methodist schools in the United States designated by that name and the first church school to affiliate with a State university. Its residence halls are open to students of all church affiliations, as are the classes in religion, music, and expression. Work in any department of Wesley College is credited toward university degrees.
