In 1912, by the time of the visit of 'Abdu-l-Bahá the physical plant university consisted primarily of the first building, Jonas Clark Hall the science building, and the library (now Jefferson Academic Center).

'Abdu-l-Bahá's talk was given in the gymnasium that was locate in the basement of Jonas Clark Hall.  Eventually this became the women's gym when men got a larger facility.  Nowadays some structure of the old gym (poles) can be seen when you enter the building through the front door (room 001).

The president's house (on the Northeast of Jonas Clark Hall; where the current library is located).  This might have been the place for the reception after the talk.

This house was torn down in the 1960's to make space for the new Goddard Library.

Modern day Jonas Clark Hall and campus green.  Can you find Eugenio in the picture? (hint: I used to teach there 2001-2006)  Can you also find Sigmund Freud?

Sincere thanks to Fordyce Williams, Coordinator of Archives and Special Collections of Goddard Library for her help and making available these great images.
