Escondita Cottage and other university buildings, fraternity houses, and student athletics (football, baseball, and golf).
Images of note include a horse cab on University Avenue, Palo Alto; David S. Jordan at a cornerstone laying (probably the
1898 library); Encina dining hall; and the teaching skeleton in a dress.
