Work Description:
This shows the west stands of Gamble Field. The old medical school building is in back of the stands. Note the tents, etc. at right. This shows the center two-story part of the old medical was built in 1884 and the west wing which was added in 1898. The whole building was torn down in 1955 when the University Memorial Center was constructed. The nature of the purpose of the athletic event can't be determined, and the purpose of the tents is not clear. The large crowd suggests football; the tents don't show in 2-4 and 2-5, the 1902 Nebraska game, so the tents may be a development after 1902. When 14-1 is printed with a very great over exposure one can see the peak of a tent outside the window --which would be toward the south end of the Gamble Field west stands. 14-1 is clearly dated as February 1893 which is before Gamble Field was developed.
