1916

Birdseye view of campus by H.D. Nichols, published by W.T. Littig & Co., New York. Littig was known for panoramic views of college campuses. Nichols's signature with the date "1917" appears in the lower right corner. The Bascom Hall dome is visible in the illustration — though it burned October 10, 1916. It appears that this map was based on a 1907 version that shows only buildings such as Birge Hall (1912) and Wisconsin High School (1914) have been added. This would account for the presence of the lost dome.
