  • DISCOVERING PART OF WCU'S PAST "I wish to do more than merely get by for I have the desire and ambition to make the very utmost of my opportunity." - E. S. Draper 0»,a Iraper designed in 1926 a terrace design 11* il^T1 and a brick pathway for the front of Moore Building, used as a women's dormitory in 1927. Only part of his plan was implemented. „ he brick wall (pictured under ^construction), extending from Joyner Plaza to Central Drive, was also a part of Draper's overall plan for Western's early campus.

(Completed in 1923, the Training School served as a public school for sixteen years. Here CNS students did their practice teaching. The building was razed in 1957 and replaced by Brown Cafeteria.) The brick pathway still remains. onoring the founder, Robert L. Madison, and listing the members of the original board of trustees, this plaque is attached to the stone marker that marks the site of WCU's first school building. i tudents and fac- ^ulty welcomed the addition of the steps leading from the classroom buildings to Davies Hall, a men's dormitory, dining room, and faculty residence in 1927.

Buildings shown (from left to right) are Moore, Joyner, Davies, and the Training School. Qlulinutlf^ fflM Neighborly Call from the Hills to Kindred Spirits Everywhere No 10 Landscape Engineer Praises Cullowhee Mr. E. S. Draper, thr larul.M.-iipfc engineer from Charlotte, recently made ;i visit to C. S. N. with a view to in- >pectinjr the landscape work that is being dime on the campus and consulting with authorities about future development of the institution along the line of beautifiuition and the placement of future buildings. Mr. Draper had previously made a complete survey ami had drawn up plans as to development with especial reference to the laying out of walk>, location of buildings, planting of shrubbery, etc He seemed to be delighted with the progress that is being made in carrying out his plans. Mr. Draper says that by following an intelligent plan of development the 'lowhee campus can be made one of beautiful campuses in A design fit for an estate Upon the recommendation of Hunter, the Alumni Association of Western Carolina Teachers College hired Draper in 1930 for $270 to design a memorial honoring the founder, Professor Robert L. Madison. Dedicated in 1934, the Rock Garden Memorial contained the curvilinear pathways, the native plants, and the rough stone walls that have become Draper's trademark. Preserved in WCU's archives, this blueprint most resembles the private estate work for which Draper has become famous. The plan consisted of a fountain, stone benches, flagstone walkways, and thirty-five different native plants, surrounding a stone marker, designating the site of the original schoolhouse. Because alumni funds for the project were lost when the Tuckaseegee Bank failed during the Depression, the design was only partially implemented. Doan R. Ogden of the Asheville Farm School, later himself a notable landscape architect, was hired to supervise the part that was completed because Draper by 1934 had been appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as the first land planner of the Tennessee Valley Authority. By the summer of 1990 the memorial area, located behind the steam plant parking lot, will have a new face-lift, according to James Culp, director of the physical plant. "This area has needed attention for the past ten years, but this is the first time that we have had funds earmarked for this kind of project," Culp says. "We will try to preserve as much of the original design as possible. Our intention is to make this spot more appealing by adding shrubs, benches, and architectural lighting." Five of Draper's blueprints are preserved in WCU's archives: the 1927 master campus plan, the 1926 terrace treatment and brick walk for the front of Moore, the 1926 paved path design between Joyner and Moore Hall, the 1930 blueprint for the Madison Memorial, and the 1931 planting plan for the front of Robertson Residence Hall.
