been accomplished since September is the best evidence of that. And though it is a little premature I might add that your baseball Man ager and Captain voluntarily made up their budget for supplies for this spring so that it will cost a third less than last year’s equipment. This is the spirit that we want; the spirit that is satisfied with what we can afford. The statement of the Football Department and Track House ac count below are for your careful study. And, remember, if there is anything that you do not understand or anything that is not stated quite as fully as you would like to see it write me and I will be glad to give you whatever information I can. I want you to feel that any informa tion the Graduate Manager has is yours for the asking, and that tnere is nothing to cover up or conjure with in the conduct of your Asso ciation. It is the purpose to publish the statement for the basketball season very soon and then complete track and baseball so that you may have them, together with the entire year’s business at Commencement time. In other words the Advisory Com mittee deems it more satisfactory to make the yearly accounting in June or the first week in September of each year for the reason that in January there is so much business pending always that a perfectly re liable statement of conditions is al most impossible. Trusting that the report will prove both gratifying and satisfactory to you, I am, Very sincerely Geo. R. Meek, Graduate Manager Football Account, 1908 EXPENDITURES Voucher No 1 P. B.

WELLINGTON WOOD Who will speak Sunday The Seattle Exposition Work on its grounds that would have taken the University of Wash ington at Seattle ten years to accom plish, has been done in two years by the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex position, in preparation for the great World’s Fair which is to be held on the University campus during the summer of 1909. Approximately $1,600,000 is being expended for permanent buildings and in further beautifying the campus. The Exposition has spent more than $300,000 in work on the grounds exclusive of buildings. Five miles of roads and avenues have been graded and paved with aspha’t. A complete sewerage sys tem embracing three miles of pipe has been laid. With this goes the seven miles of water mains that cover the entire campus. After the Exposition is over the University will find it has a natural amphitheatre staged and seated, able at least to care for 25,000 per sons. Besides these things two subways have been constructed un der the Northern Pacific railroad tracks which cross the lower cam- 123 75 128 75 pus. Another $lOO,OOO has been spent in parking the grounds in terraces, slnubs and trees and in every way possible to beautify the University campus on which the Exposition stands. The new athletic stadium, to be used duiing the exposition, will be held dear by the students of the University for several leasons Not onlj will they witness upon it the struggles of their own favorites in intercollegiate contests, but theirs will be the satisfaction of knowing that their assistance greatly aided and forwarded the movement for its erection.
