DescriptionThe exterior of Hodgin Hall at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico with a group of students and faculty gathered outside its doorway. The building is brick and stone with a dark door set into the entry arch. The group, mixed ages and genders, stands on the front steps and on the dirt ground beneath. The boy and men wear three- piece suits and ties, some in the lounge or sack suit style. Half of the young women are dressed in the shirtwaist style, with unpleated and unpattern long skirts and white tailored blouses with bows or frills along the rounded neck line. The other half wear the princess line style, long-sleeved and high-necked dresses with long pleated skirts and gigot puffed sleeves. Due to vertical stem corsets, they have a S-shaped silhouettes and hourglass figures. On the right side of the group, two young women hold hands while another two have their arms draped over each other’s shoulders, and lean their heads together.
