The photograph above shows Frandsen Humanities in the early 20th century, when it was was Frandsen Agriculture. Built in 1917, it was named for Peter Frandsen, professor of Zoology. The basement rooms on its north side had served as an abbatoir, its drainage gutters unused but intact in the building's later incarnations when it was home to the departments of English, Philosophy, and Foreign Languages. Frandsen Humanities was renovated thoroughly and reopened in 2000 as the new quarters of the English Department.
