Transcription

[front of the postcard] This is the Main College Building for the girls. I will mark #1, 2 [and] 3. #1 will be the entrance #2 a little farther up the walk and #3 the college. This building is the same. [back of the postcard] We have three separate buildings: Main (or College Building), Conservatory for Music, and Science Hall. There are girls that room in all three. The main building is nearly one block long and about as wide. The Campus is very beautiful. If I can I will get one of our catalogues of the college and send to you for I couldn't begin to tell you about the college. They have a college for boys about a quarter of a mile from here on the same campus. I will send you a postal of it. [sic]
