Across a broad lawn, the domed and columned main building of Iowa State College stands behind a drive where a few early automobiles are parked. A tall flagpole rises at the left and a water tower at the right. The scene shows the campus of Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in Ames, a land-grant school known for agricultural and engineering instruction. The cars on the drive point to the growing presence of automobiles on campus in the early 1900s.
