be observed. Most important will be
the change in the engineering courses.

for such a move was caused by the
increase in the enrolment of this de-

civil and electrical engineering will be
accommodated there.
The department OF Hygiene will be
transferred from it's present quarter
and will occupy the building now in
use as the Mineralogy Department The
