About this postcard

The picture shows the Administration Building of the University Camp for Boys, a long, low rustic structure with dark siding, a broad open porch, and a large roof, set among tall trees. Several boys in light summer clothing are gathered on and near the porch, and a flagpole rises at the right. The printed caption identifies the building as the camp's administrative center.
