Since the commencement exercises
the Normal building and premises haYe
been SO generally improved as to greatly
enhance the appearance OF that lBstitn-
ton. Approaching The building the
first noticeable change is, that the old
fence fronting the building is apparently
new, made 50 by fresh coat of paint
The yard has also been cleared OF weeds
and the campus now has better look,
as the flowers and small trees are much
more prominent.
The building has been reprinted in
side and out. from basement to tower,
the doors aud castings are handsomely
grained 10 imitation of black walnut,
while the panels are grained in imita
ton OF French walnut Tie wainscot-
ing and framework are covered with a
light oak graining. giving to each room
neat aud polished look. The doors OF
the rooms were to-day lettered and num-
bered. which completes the inside work.
The roof, which has been repaired, is
being repainted with mineral red and
the guards haye been strengthened and
painted light stone color:
One of the mosI important changes,
and the one which the student will wei
come most. is the enlarg :ment OF the
library and reading room, and the fur
nishing of the same with handsome
new walnut bookcase.
In addition to the old library room
No. 20, has been fitted up and covered
with mating; the folding doors which
connected the two rooms have been
| thrown open and the TWO make ont
large and neat apartment The cases il
the old room reach all al ing the north
