Excerpt from The Gleaner: June, 1924
This, the next new building, is the Hirsh Botanical Laboratory, which you see connects directly with our greenhouses.
After this beautiful 'gem' of a building had been completed, we began the erection of this battery of modern poultry houses; and we feel quite complimented at our apparent success, because poultry men come from various parts of the United States, to see and get ideas from our modern equipment.

Excerpt from The Gleaner: June, 1924
On our approaching the almost completed Ulman Dormitories, I spoke of our first misfortune. The original home, planned and built by Dr. Krauskopf at the very start of the school and known as Pioneer Hall, containing most of the dormitories for the boys, burned to the ground on April 12, 1923. With Dr. Krauskopf and Mr. Harry B. Hirsh, now President of the Institution, I stood by in sadness and saw this initial building crumble to its foundation.
Undoubtedly, there was an all-seeing Providence protecting our interests, for right in the midst of our sorrow, at the loss of this building, Mr. Abraham Erlanger, who had been appointed executor of the estate of Miss Rosetta M. Ulman, of Williamsport, Pa., with powers to act as to the placing of her funds at the disposal of any institution he found most worthy, gave us a real thrill in announcing that the bulk of her estate would go to the National Farm School.
The necessity of housing our boys made us work all the faster, and with the assistance of Messrs. Sauer and Silverman, our architects, we planned this beautiful Rosetta M. Ulman Dormitory Building. Working fast did not preclude our intensively studying various dormitory build ings throughout the State,-and after looking through some half dozen larger colleges besides, we settled upon a plan, part of the motif coming from the beautiful Princeton Dormitories and part from our own Uni versity of Pennsylvania Dorms. We feel no hesitancy in saying that our building, when completed, will be even superior to theirs, not only in fireproof construction, but in beauty as well.
