    A NEW WALK FROM THE MAIN ENTRANCE
Contributed,
For a number of years Dr. Atherton and the faculty
have made every effort to prevent the students taking a
short cut across the campus, to and from the postoffice, but
without avail. The grass has been trampled down and the
wire fence so badly broken that it has become an eyesore.
There seems to be but one remedy, a walk straight across
the campus from the main entrance to the street. Such a
walk would put an end to the necessity of anyone climbing
the fence, and would at the same time be very convenient
for these students rooming in the central part of town to go
back and forth to their recitations.
THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION.
The dedication of the Pan-American Exposition on
May, 20, was marked by imposing ceremonies befitting the
importance of the event. The successful completion of the
work of construction render it possible to present for the
inspection of the world an exposition which is worthy of the
opening of the twentieth century. Although ground was
first broken on the 26th of September, 1899, it was not until
last June that the first timber was raised as the beginning
of the first building. Since that day a city of more than
one hundred buildings has sprung into existence.
The Electrical, Mechanical and Civil sections of the Jun
ior class have made arrangements to spend the latter part
of June and the beginning of July in Buffalo. The heads of
the respective departments will accompany them, and six
days will be spent in purely technical work, after that the
boys will be free to go where they please.
