1910
Since 1900 WRU added 8 buildings to its campus. In 1910 Adelbert saw the addition of the Morley Chemistry Laboratory, located next to Eldred Hall. The College for Women added a new gym, Harkness Chapel, and Haydn Hall.
Case was the beneficiary of a gift from oil baron John D. Rockefeller and built the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy Building and the Rockefeller Physics Building. Its first athletic field, Van Horn Field, was also completed. Case moved its summer surveying camp off campus for the first time in 1907. This and subsequent summer surveying camps were known as Camp Case.
Number of buildings in use by Case in 1910: 10.
Number of buildings in use by WRU in 1910: 25.
