===Memorial Art Gallery=== {{main|Memorial Art Gallery}} The university's first permanent campus was at the former farm of [[Azariah Boody]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Rochester Review :: University of Rochester |url=http://www.rochester.edu/pr/Review/V71N6/feature1.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170414010342/https://www.rochester.edu/pr/Review/V71N6/feature1.html |archive-date=April 14, 2017 |access-date=May 1, 2018 |website=www.rochester.edu}}</ref> While a number of buildings still stand including Anderson Hall, the Eastman Laboratories, and a number of student dormitories, these buildings have been absorbed by private companies or the Rochester School of the Arts. The university retains control of a few acres of land including the land under the Sibley Library (razed), old campus gates, the Memorial Art Gallery's old and new wings, and the Cutler Union, a prime example of the [[Collegiate Gothic]] style of 20th-century architecture. The Memorial Art Gallery was founded in 1913 as a part of the University of Rochester through a gift from [[Emily Sibley Watson]] as a memorial to her son, James George Averell.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/magnumopusstoryo00bray|title=Magnum opus: the story of the Memorial Art Gallery, 1913-1988|last=Elizabeth.|first=Brayer|date=1988|publisher=The Gallery|isbn=978-0-918098-02-3|edition=1st|location=Rochester, N.Y.|oclc=18496839|url-access=registration}}</ref> It was designed by the prominent American architectural firm [[McKim, Mead & White|McKim, Mead, and White]] and occupies the southern half of the university's Prince Street campus.<ref>{{Cite book|url=http://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000606566|title=College architecture in America and its part in the development of the campus|last1=Klauder|first1=Charles Zeller|last2=Wise|first2=Herbert Clifton|date=1929|publisher=C.
