Iowa City, March 10. President G. e.
MacLean, who is in the east visiting
law professors who have been mem
toned for the deanship of the college OF
law, has not been heard from since last
Saturday night, when he WASH Boston,
Until his return the plans for the new
buildings and future work of the medi-
cal college are necessarily indefinite.
There will be no meeting of the board
of regents or executive committee of the
board of regents before April 81, Secre-
tary Haddock having photographed the
members that nothing could be donesi
before that time. 1t is probable that
temporary two-story structure will be
erected on the foundation of the old
South hall. This at least was the talk
today among the professors Of the dis
placed chairs. The temporary structure
could be built for $1,000, which could
probably be obtained from the emer-
gency fund of the state executive COM
mittee upon proper representation by
the board of regents. THE building
could be built in fifteen days, said Pro-
lessor Sims. 1T would have room in
the first story for the medical college
classes and two rooms for the engineer
ing department Upstairs there could he
rooms for each of the three forensic So
cieties and one room for the college of
medicine"
The new building for the college Of
medicine which will havesto be built as
soon as the general assembly can pro-
vide for it. will probably not be located
on the university campus The facul-
ties of both collegiate and medical coll
leges are unanimous 40 far as expressed
lin favor OF locating the building on the
odd city park, just north of the new uni
versty hospital. 1t will be much more
convenient for the medical students to-
be near the hospital, and the room
where the burned buildings stood can be
used for fine site for the fireprouf liz
brary and museum building which is
demanded in order to place the yalua
BILE scientific collection and the general
library In quarters where they will not.
be in danger of destruction by fire.
Three amphitheaters and three labora
tories. besides a dissecting room. are re-
lquired in the new medical building Its
cost will be about $4,000. The new nlu-
scum and library building will cost
from 500. 600 to S150000. The money for
these buildings will have to be asked
from the next legislature, as an appro-s
priation for immediate building pur-
poses. The amounts realized from the
building tax of one-tenth of mill Will
be required for some years to pay for
1.-the new hall of liberal arts After that
lis paid for. the auditorium. armory and
Gymnasium has been placed mex: on
the list of buildings to be constructed.
This. however, Will he impossible before
1903 a least.
