Regent Reinstein and President Kellogg
held a conference to-day, when it was de-
cided to give the students another day and
a half.
The greatest part of the uncompleted
work is that of excavating around North
Hall. 1t will be the purpose of the student
laborers to finish what further digging is
found to be necessary in this region, and
then to cover the hard clay through which
they have been cutting with a layer of
soft earth, SO that flowers and vines may
be planted around the building.
The half-finished walk through Lovers
Lane will also be completed. The neces-
sary grading and part of the stone laying
has been done on it, but the fine rock and
gravel is yet TO be put down. 1t is under
stood that more implements will be on
hand so that every one who wishes can
work.
President Kellogg, Regent Reinstein and
Professors Hilgard and Randall spent
considerable time to-day in looking over
the half-completed work and devising
ways of undertaking the remainder so
that it might be entirely finished by Satur-
day noon.
