Bondurant Graduate School, constructed in 1929, was named after Dean Alexander Bondurant. It was home to the graduate dean's office for many years, and currently houses the departments of English and Modern Languages. Notice the similarity in design with Farley Hall pictured below (formerly Lamar Law Building) also designed by Gates during the same time period.

The window style and arch over doorways at Bondurant is pictured above, and the two pictures below are the arch over doorways and the window style at Lamar. While there are distinct differences, they also share similarities.

Bondurant still bears the designation Graduate School at the rear entrance. Notice the grill work on the windows, and then the same design on the windows (and around the portico) of Lamar Hall, pictured below.

A building on each side of Bondurant is joined by a covered walk.
Bondurant still bears the plaque designating graduate school, and Gates' name.
