Chicken House
Ties between the poultry research of the Station and the needs of the School prompted the College to offer the first summer-school "special course," in poultry husbandry. The rigorous 4-week offering ran for 12 hours a day, beginning at 6 a.m., and included classes in zoology, anatomy, physiology, plus practical instruction in carpentry, food chemistry, caponizing, and breeding. It was the first practical summertime education program of its kind in the country. The poultry course was later expanded into a four-year curriculum.

College Hall after the fire.
On Sunday, January 27, 1895, College Hall caught on fire. Fanned by 40 miles an hour winds, the flames consumed the building in forty-five minutes. All that remained after the fire was the front façade and parts of the side walls of the Hall. In this photograph the right side wall of the building is propped up by wooden planks. College Hall was rebuilt and renamed Davis Hall in honor of Governor John W. Davis.

Construction of Davis Hall
Workmen had to use horse drawn carts and wagons to clear the rubble of College Hall before construction could begin on Davis Hall. In the background to the left stands the Watson farmhouse, which was converted to a girl’s dormitory that same year (1895). To the right is Taft Hall, and the center area where the wooden out-buildings appear is now the site of the University Library.

Dairy Barns
The Dairy Barns were located on West Alumni Avenue across from Burnside Dormitory and behind Heathman Dormitory. The barns were first built under the direction of the State Agricultural School's first president, Dr. John H. Washburn, then expanded in the 1930's. By the mid-1970's, use of the barns were discontinued and they were finally torn down in 2002.

Green Hall
Green Hall was built and named for Governor Theodore Francis Green in 1937. This stately granite Georgian Revival building was the University's first full-fledged library.

Ladd Laboratory
Built in 1891 near the present day greenhouses and the Resource Development Laboratory, Ladd Laboratory was originally called the Veterinary Building. The building featured a lecture room twenty-five feet square, described as "well ventilated, and lighted by a skylight eight by ten feet." Renamed Ladd Laboratory in 1892 in honor of Governor Herbert Ladd, the laboratory was transferred to the Engineering Department, and then served as an extension of Edwards library(1934). In later years the building served as the offices of the superintendent of farms, then as workshops and storage for the Buildings and Grounds Department. Photographs and maps dating from the early 1960's no longer featured the Ladd building.

Lippitt Hall
In January 1897, URI (then Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts) was in need of a drill hall-gymnasium. Funds were obtained for the building that became Lippitt Hall. The third floor housed the drill hall-gymnasium, which was one of the largest in any learning institution. Today, the building houses the URI Honors Program Office, which offers special opportunities to academically talented students.

Rodman Hall
Designed and built in 1928 by Bigelow, Kent, Willard and Company, Rodman Hall first served as an armory and then as a gymnasium. Called Hammond Hall, in honor of Captain Hammond, commandant of the first Reserved Officers Training Corps (ROTC) unit based in the building, Rodman Hall was renamed in 1938 for Thomas Rodman. Hired in 1890, Rodman was a professor of mechanical engineering, physics, and the college’s building superintendent who oversaw much of the campus construction. As a gymnasium, Rodman Hall was home to the Rhode Island Running Rams basketball team and the legendary Coach Frank Keaney. It was here that Keaney developed the fast break that changed the face of basketball. Today Rodman Hall is home to the Graduate School of Library and Information Services and the Community Planning and Landscape Architecture Department.

The Campus Shuttle
The campus shuttle, a large horse drawn wagon with plank seats, carried students from the train station up to Kingston Hill. The driver, William “Billy” Henry Potter began working for the school in 1896 as a beekeeper before becoming the bus driver. While transporting new students from the train station to the campus, Billy often regaled his young charges about the day he “whipped his horses into a lather” to get to the scene after hearing a “lad shout that the college was burning down.” Upon arriving at the burning College Hall, Billy learned that his brother, who was a janitor in College Hall, had been the last man out of the building. Billy retired in 1949 after 53 years of service to the College.

Anne Lucy Bosworth Focke
Anne Bosworth was born in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. She received her B.S. from Wellesley College in 1890 and was hired by Rhode Island State College (now URI) on March 23, 1892 for a one year appointment as math instructor. By April, she was appointed the college's first Professor of Mathematics and Physics. Bosworth attended the University of Chicago in the summers of 1894 and 1896 and received her Master's Degree in 1896. In 1899, she took a leave of absence to study at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen in Germany from which she received her Ph.D. in 1900. Bosworth married Theodore Focke in 1901. Like so many women of her day, it appears that she left her position at the college to marry. President Washburn wrote in the 1902 Annual Report: "It is with regret that the institution loses Miss Bosworth from the faculty. Her conscientious work has been, from the beginning, highly appreciated by every member of the institution."
