The Hygiene and Education building had four identical fronts with four columns each. The ornamentation on each front varied with statuary on Oratory, Philosophy, History, Science, and Medicine. The west entrance of the building was ornamented with flags from several nations. One section of the building was dedicated to the progress of higher education. In the northwest corner of the building, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville had three x-ray machines on display. Additionally, there was a fully operational laboratory, a collection of surgical and medical instruments, and an exhibit of the latest modern methods of sanitary plumbing. |
