wise, when there shall be need OF
more room. Whole departments
may, in the future, be removed ia
separate buildings, and in order that
no room may be lost thereby the
apartments have been so arranged
that they can be easily turned to
new uses.
The board of regents have deci-
ded not to complete the whole build
ing at once, but to put - the north
half, that is, all that north of the
stairWays, including them also, be-
cause here are located the apart
ments that can least be dispensed
with, and also because it will cost
less than the south half.
The plan of this building bears a

kind. 1t has been submitted to the
judgment of many able critics, all
whose objections and suggestions
have been carefully considered, so
that we may feel assured that we
have now well on the way to execu-
ton a plan. which, when we take
all things into consideration, it
would be difficult to surpass. In
point of architectural beauty, the
building will present grand and
appearance, such as a citi-

states might point to with pride.
1t will be seen that we are now in

cause of education in this territory.
