First five buildings?
According to this page: http://www.usm.edu/about/history.html the first five original buildings were College Hall, Forrest County Hall, Hattiesburg Hall, the industrial cottage, and what is now the Alumni House. It looks like the buildings pictured are (from left to right) College Hall, Southern Hall, Forrest County Hall, Hattiesburg Hall, and Mississippi Hall. The Alumni House is probably nearby to the right of where this picture was taken.
