L. D. Ikenberry surveys land with students, possibly for the frame gym.

L. D. Ikenberry was an architect and responsible for much of the rebuilding and remodeling on the early campus during the presidency of Otho Winger.  In this photo the Bible Building and Bumgerdner Hall had not yet been connected.  It appears that L. D. Ikenberry and most-likely, students, are surveying in preparation to construct another building.  The construction of the gym was planned and announced by Winger to the Board of Trustees on 25 September 1911. 

Excerpt from "A Century of Faith. Learning and Service," pg. 51, quoting Winger:

We planned the building (gym) within the small resources we had.  Professor L. D. Ikenberry acted as architect and manager.  Students couldn't give much money, but they did pledge their work; and when finally the building got under way, we had a vacation now and then for half a day.  Boys used th saw and pounded nails.  The girls were on hand to do anything they could, even if they could only hand nails to the boys. All that added enthusiasmn, and the outcome was the old frame gymnasium.
