Description
This map of WCUU was evidentially created in the 1930s, judging by the buildings that are included. The buildings have been numbered in the order in which they were built, which gives a good idea of the growth pattern of the campus.

Concerning the location where pandas lived on campus, David Crockett Graham is thought to have lived in the Baptist houses at 64,65,66 or 67. Pandora, Pandee and Pandah lived with the Grahams there. The Dickinsons, Agnews and other Canadians lived on "Canadian Row," at numbers 36-44 and 92-97. Pandora, Pan, Lien Ho, Happy, and other of Floyd Tangier Smith's pandas lived there.
Commentary
The annotations show the three houses that remained standing c. 2016. P = President's House; B-S = house occupied by Homer and Muriel Brown and later by Walter and Lottie Small. W = Willmott house in Canadian Row.
Creator
Unknown original creator. The annotations on the map were created by Donald Willmott in 2016.
