the group of buildings to be devoted
to this purpose is finished, although
homely and temporary, the accom
modations will be ample and un
usual. Chemistry, which has for
years been inadequately housed, is
to have some relief in a like tempor
ary building, which, although 100
by 135 feet, with an amphitheatre
accommodating at least 600, will be
still inadequate for its needs. For
estry is also housed in a temporary
wooden building.
The Library has outgrown its
accommodations, but we confident
ly expect that provision for its
present accommodation and future
growth will be made by the generous
friend who provided the means for
the present building.
The athletic grounds are to be re
moved, and grading upon them is
now being done, to a point back of
the reservoir, which it is said will
give us one of the best and most
complete athletic fields in the
country.
In mathematics, language and
literature, history,and social and po
litical science, we are crowded be
yond the possibility of accommoda
tions for lecture rooms. Our dormi
tories are also crowded. The short
course men who come for the winter,
if we can accommodate them, must
be cared for upon cots in temporary
quarters.
One of your number, in addition
to other munificent gifts, has, at his
own expense, employed a landscape
architect who has laid out our camp
us with a view to future growth in
such a way as to make it one of the
most striking and handsome in the
country.
The legislative and executive
authorities of the state made more
generous provision for maintenance
during the past year than ever be
fore, but this provision does not
keep pace with our growth. To
whom shall we turn in dire need but
to our own sons?
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
Where shall I begin to enumerate
our needs? The Physical Director
would say, we need first the gym
nasium on the new athletic field,
plans for which have already been
prepared and which will cost—say
$200,000. Second, a baseball cage
for indoor exercises which will cost
anywhere from $30,000 to $50,000.
We need additions to the present
grand stand, which can be removed,
and bleachers which will accommo
date many more spectators than our
present grounds, which are already
invaded by the extension of the de
partment of Chemistry.
If we were to name the greatest
need just now, it would be an alumni
hall to occupy the most prominent
place in the grand ellipse on the
Main avenue just above the Audi
torium and Library, around which
the future development of the Col
lege is to be made. This should
contain anywhere from 40 to 80
recitation and lecture rooms and
should house all the departments
which do not need special laboratory
space. If a concerted effort were
made by the alumni, beginning, say
at Pittsburg, where the largest num
ber is concentrated, I believe this
could be done. It should cost at
least $150,000. Provision could be
made in it for alumni headquarters,
with secretary's office, etc., and, if
