OAN 70 VII ~fNNN Cftt$1 -
A great many changes are being
made in the recitation rooms at the
University on the completion OF
the new buildings. Old students
returning to the University this fall
will need chart to find the various
departments, class officers, registrar,
book store, etc.
Several of teachers will be found
in the new Mechanical building after
September 18th next, and a read
justment OF the congested conditions
in the old building IS already TAX
ing place.
The book store has already been
moved from the section of The pas
sageway in University Hail to the
registrars office in the same build
ing, the cosy little room used by
Prof Barbe the past year.
Prof. Hare is now registrar, and
will have the Office in the old com
mandant's office in Martin Hall,
known to the old boys as "Prep
Hail." The military department
and Commandant' office have been
removed to the handsome. new AR
mory on the eastern edge of the
campus. Sergeant St Clair will
have charge of the offices in the
building. His den In the basement
of Martin Hall has been vacated,
and is being fitted.up for recitation
room. 1t will make a very fine one
Prof. Hare, who is principal OF
the Preparatory school will have his
office in the room vacated by the
military department, first door to
the left as you enter Martin Hall
from the center of the campus.
Prof. Jones who is in charge of
the mechanical engineering depart
ment will occupy portion OF the
new Mechanical Hall, He has re
moved The machinery and equipment
of this department from the Fife
cottage, which was used as make
shift last year.
Prof. Morris, teacher of engineer
ing, will also have his recitation
room, models, surveying instru-
ments, etc. in the new Mechanical
Hall, and the room formerly oeca
pied by him in Science Hall, first
floor, will be used as a recitation
room by Prof. Hodges of the de
partment of Physics. This depart
ment as well as the civil engineer
ing department has been crowded
for room in the quarters formerly
available. They will now he pro
vided with ample room.
The mechanical engineering de
partment had been worst crippled
on account of restricted quarters.
The new Mechanical Hall will cause
a great revival of interest in the
engineering department of the Uni
versity, which has been seriously
handicapped since the burning of
the old Mechanical Hall on the river
bank in the winter OF 189S-99.
When the new library is complet-
ed and the transfer of books and
made from the old libra
ry, it will be reftted and used as the
Art Studio. 1t will make very
fine light airy room for the depart
ment of drawing and painting which
has heretofore been rather poorly
in the way of room apd
light
The interior of the library is now
being finished, but it can not be
predicted definitely just when it
will be ready for the books to be
transferred to it.
When the University opens Sep
TENDER 10Th, one of the first things
students will have to do is to take
chart, make tour of the buildings
and see where they are and where
the teachers are.
