NEW BUILDINGS FOR STATE.
Department of Home Eeonomies in Four
Story Brick Ballding — Addition to
Chemlionl Laboratory,
The friends of the Pennsylvania
Btate College feel very much gratified
over the announcement of the erection
of two new buildings. The plans
have been prepared by J. Herbert
Hall, of Huntingdon, and bids are be.
ing asked for. The department of
home economics, which wag but re.
cently created by an appropriation by
the last legislature, will be housed in a
four story brick building, 40x50 feet,
The first floor will be fitted up with
lecture and work rooms for the co-eds,
The upper floors will contain the
dormitories. The young wom-n will
thus have the advantage of being en-
tirely housed in one building. Al
ti ough this department is a new one,
it received a generous support from
the young women of the state, The
cost of the new bullding, without fur.
nishiogs, will be $15,000,
The chemical laboratory ie to have
an addition, which will comst $20,000,
This will a frame superstructure
over a cement basement, with an
amphitheatre having a capacity of
seating 500 students.
Io addition to these two buildings
there is to be an improvement made
in the training quarters, These
chapges provide for a gymnasiom-—
which will be the finest in the coun-
try—a baseball cage and a new athletic
field, work on which has already been
begun. The contemplated improve
ments will cost thousands of dollars,
much of which has already been con
tributed and the balance provided for.
