The new building in the rear of the late President Atherton's home will be used to temporarily provide for the overcrowded condition of the engineer ing building. It is fast nearing com pletion, and in about a month will be ready for use. The entire first floor will be partitioned off in glass and will be devoted to the electrical laboratories and a recitation room for descriptive geometry. The second floor will be used for freshman drawing and descrip tive geometry. This building will be plain weather board finish, measuring 150 by 42 feet, and will have triple windows. The money for the work has been do nated by two prominent alumni and Mr. Schwab, and its out of the way location is not intended to interfere with the extension of the main En gineering Building. In the present high potential laboratory will be placed the machinery for testing materials, and in the rooms under the carpentry shop will be placed the laboratories for current testing and for road materials. These changes are all steps . / toward the arrangement which will be completed only when the new engineering building is finished. ALUMNI NOTES. W. E. Plankenhorn, 'O7, and F. G.
