lege is furnishing the money to build a
$4,000 addition to the Medical college at
the corner of Twelfth and Tyler streets.
The announcement of the plans for
the construction OF the addition to the
college building was first made at a
meeting of the faculty last night at the
office Of DR.. J. E. Minney and r. S.
Magee at Seventh and Kansas avenue.
The addition win be built on the
Twelfth street side OF the college build
ing and it will be 24x60 feet in size and
three stories high. The first two floors
will be divided into four large class
rooms, while the upper floor viii be one
large room 24x60 feet to be used as an
anatomical laboratory. It viii be con-
nected by double doors with the present
anatomical laboratory on the top floor
Of the present college building.

orado red sandstone trimmings. A
handsome arched entrance way will be
in the center of the sixty foot front, and
the name of the Institution viii be
carved in the sandstone over the en-
trance. The architecture of the build
ing viii present a pleasing appearance
The interior of the building and the
equipment VIII De GnIE6lY MODERN. A
large central hallway Will connect with
the main hallway of the present build
ing. The Railways will be finished with
brick that have a white tile surface.
The old portion of the building viii

rooms on the east side of the building
on the first floor will be thrown into one
large class room as will the two rooms
on the west side of the second floor.
These large class rooms viii be connect

The present building contains nine
class rooms. The new addition will add
five more, and the removal of the parti-
tons between two of the rooms on the
first floor and two Of the rooms on the
second floor will give the college II large
airy class rooms
The growth of the college has made
the addition imperative. Last year the
attendance for the year was 100, and
the college was crowded and cramped
by reason of this number of students
being in attendance. The coming year
indications point to the fact that about
$50 students will be enrolled on the col
lege register.
The NIedico1 college association owns
the property in the half block bounded
Twelfth street and the alley bounded
by the above streets and Topeka ave
nue..
It is announced that it is the inten-
ton of the college to ultimately build
another addition to the college building
on the west and to also erect lab
oratory for special work on the east OF
the college building, and to eventually
build a hospital in the rear of the col
lege, facing on Huntoon and Tyler
streets.

summer viii be begun about the firsi

building 1t will be completed in tins
