When I was at A&M, I lived in Law Hall. If you remember, Law and Puryear were two L-shaped dorms around a central courtyard. In my time it was just a nasty grass and mud morass (they tore down the dorms 2 years after I left). But if you watch in the video, about 15 seconds in, you can see the courtyard was once very beautifully lanscaped. These dorms were built in 1927, so they were still relatively new. It's fascinating to see beautiful plants in the area that we played "grodeball" in the early 90s.
In fact, if you pause the film at 15, right over the guy's left shoulder is the window to my dorm room.
