Campus for University.
Governor Cummins and State superin-
tendent R. c. Barrett, ex-oficio members
Of the Board of Regents OF the State uni
versity, have returned from Iowa City,
where they attended the meeting yesterday.
Superintendent Barrett was much elated
with the plans revealed at the meeting as
to the future OF the university In the way
Of securing a campus adapted to the growth
Of the school. Briefly stated, this consists
Of securing all the grounds between the
main buildings and the river, dammlng the
latter and parking both sides.
The main building of the university Is
about eighty rods from the river and the
regents already have holdings Of several
lots between those points. There is an in
cline of about seventy-hve feet between the
buildings and the river and it is planned to
terrace this with a broad boulevard ex-
tending through. This ground now is we'll
built up, but the buildings Are not OF a
substantial character and 1t is believed can
be had at reasonable rates. The board yes
terday took action by instructing the ex-
~ecutive committee to get options on the
premises.
- It has developed that II was the reveal
ing of these plans that caused the death OF
the rumors at the last session OF the leg
~islature that the university would eventu-
ally be forced to move beyond the corpor-
| ate limits of the city for the location of all
buildings erected in the future. The plan
as now stated is regarded as ideal by all
who have seen the plat prepared.
So far as the new medical buildings are
concerned 1t is practically decided that
these will be built in the rear Of the main
buildings on the block and one-half donated
} by the city ana on which the hospital
buildings are now situated. It is consid-
cred desirable that the medical building,
and the hospitals be In proximity to each
; other. Instead of one large building the
indications are that three will be erected,
the total cost being about $125, 900. Plans
will be made by the building ac-
cordingly. The chemical and dissectIuR de.
partments will be in one and the other de-
partments distributed between the other
, two. This is in accordance with the modern
idea OF what a college Of medicine should
be. The committee in charge consists ~

: VISIT State Institutions.
Chairman Cownie and Judge Kline. the
other members Of the State Board OF Con-
troll. visited all OF the state institutions
within the last fortnight. They devoted
some time to the purchase Of the new land
authorized by the state legislature at the
last session. They were only able to make
contracts at Davenport and Clarinda. Al
Glenwood and Mount Pleasant It was found
that the owners Of land near the instftu-
tions had taken advantage Of the time in
tervening between the public announce
ment OF the authority to purchase given
the board by the legislature. with the re-
suit that prices have been raised. The
members Of the board state they will not
allow the state to be bled and that the own
ers will come to their prices or keep their
land. Inasmuch as It is not necessary for
the land to be adjacent to the farm, II Is
believed the state can get reasonable
prices.
Contracts were entered into for eighty
acres OF land at Davenport, making a total
OF 262 acres at that place. Land was also
purchased at ClariHda. One hundred acres
were bought at SIS and 2O6 and a fraction
over at 500 an acre. This will make a
farm at that institution Of a fraction over
1858 acres. as the farm originally consisted
OF 551h acres.
The high standard OF perfection OF state
schools for the deaf and dumb and the fee
BILE minded attained under the Board OF
Control system Is having a serious draw
back. So great a reputation for proficiency
has been made that eastern schools are
coming to Iowa In search OF teachers and
Offering greater salaries than the state au-
thorizes the board to pay. Considerable
d~ifnculty has been had in holding many OF
the best teachers, three having departed
for the east in the last year.
While the board was. at Council Bluns
President Gallandet OF the Gallandet Col
lege for the Deaf at Washington, which is
recognized as the foremost college OF its
kind In the country, was there. After in
vestigating the Iowa school thoroughly
Prof. Gallandet pronounced Il one of the
best in the country.
