the day the students labored in over

efforts was the completion of large
section of the boulevard which Is to
lead from Bancroft way across the col
lege grounds to Co Ed canyon. Be-
sides this several roads were widened
and new sidewalks laid about the col
lege gounds The work was done un-
der the supervision of the departments

the project was first broached the stu
