DR.. G. z. Fellows, president of the
University of Maine, in reply to ques-
tiOns concerning the appropriation
which Will be asked for the University
at the next session of the Legislature,
recently said:
The immediate needs of the Univer-
-sity of Maine are so many that it
would not he eXpcGient to ask for all
at the next session of the Legislature.
The university is in great need of new
dorrnitories. At present, the total
number of students that can find ac-
commodations on the campus is less
than One-third of the entire number in
attendance at the university. But
there are other wants more immediate
than new dormitOrieS, and as long as
students can find living place either
in Orono or on the campus. we must iV
view of the other needs of a growing
umes that are being put in the lab9-
college, inconvenience them until the
more pressing necessities can be AIS
fed.
'Our library building is also i'suf'ic-
lent for the accommodation ofthe stu
dents. The reading room istoo small
and room is needed for ADDITIONAL vol
umes that are being put y the library
The library is the labfatory Of al
students, who are Tot pursuing
technical courses
What. in your option. is the most
urgent need OF the ,niversity?' asked
the reporter.
"a building to c)ntain heating and
power plant, a sop and an engineering
laboratory is absolutely necessary. At
present. the leating plant is made
ouate and d,ring one of the most Sc
we're DAYS q this month it was neces-
sary to practically suspend recitations
on acco,,lt of The rooms being cold.
With a proper heating plant the State
co1,Id De saved an annual expense of
nacry $1,000.
.'Jfle machine shop is now far too
small to give students in the engineer
lg courses the proper practical train
ing tina; they should have. When the
present shop was built. 10 years ago.
there were II students taking the me-
ckanical engineering course. Now lag
are depending upon the shop for the
practical work. and only a very small
part of these can be accommodated at
one time.
1.-THE practical training obtained
from shop work is incomplete without
better laboratory facilities; hence.
with the construction of the shop.
there should, at the same time, be
erected complete laboratories. AT
present the machinery is so crowded in
the shop as to cripple its usefulness
besides being insufficiently protected
from possible destruction by fire.
''What amount does the college pro-
pose to ask of the Legislature, this
W inter-
Il should think about 100000 would
build such a building as | have de-
scribed. including the equipment for
our present needs.
