STATE COLLEGE GROWS RAPIDLY
Board of Regents Authorizes treC.
ton OF New Building.

Pullman, Wash, Dec. 13.-The
board of regents, which has been in
session here several days, has ad-
journed. All members of the board
We're present.
The board transacted much routine
business and did some special work.
The most important of the new work
was the authorization of the erection
of temporary frame building for
class rooms. The building will CON
tain four rooms, which will be used
for classes, as there is an insufficient
number of rooms in the ten buildings
for all the classes of the school. The
new building will be built as cheaply
as possible, as it is intended to be used
only until the next Legislature can pass
an appropriation for large brick build
ings necessary for the rapid growth of
the school. The site of the new build
ing is to. be selected by President
Bryan.
