Building.
The building committee has received
bids for screening the new dairy build
ing. which is now completed, from
three fims--The willer Manufacturing
Co. of Milwaukee, Wis: the u. L
Burrowes Co., of Portland, Me. and
the Phoeger Company of Chicago. The
contract has not yet been awarded but
will probably be let today.
The contract for placing an eleva-
tor in the new dairy building was let
to Kimball Bros. Company of Coun-
Gil Bluffs. Iowa, for $1,l00.
owing to the lack of funds the CEN
trail heating plant cannot be built at
this time and arrangements have been
made to tap the tunnel running to
the engineering hall. A new boiler
will be placed in the power station
to furnish the additional heat. The
contract for this boiler was let to the
Sterling company Of Chicago, and the
contract for digging the tunnel to
James Horrabin Of Des Moines. The
Hoolbrook Mantel company, also of
Des Moines, got the contract, for mar
BILE work in the new central building
at $4,000 This building is not yet COM
pleted, but the work Is being pushed
along on 1t and authorities hope
to get into it by the first of the year.
H. w. Schleuter, the contractor in
charge, will be on the campus tomor-
row and will hold meeting with the

A number Of items to come up to-
day, such as salary new profess
sorships, improvements and furniture
for the new central building, will con-

Storms Report.
In part, President Storms says in his
annual report.
The past year has been one of UNI
precedented prosperity and of increas-
| ing facilities for our educational work.
We are particularly gratified at the
offer OF cooperation which comes to
us from the United States department
Of agriculture, placing two experts in
| our dairy laboratories for continued
and important Investigation, to extend
over the next five years at least 1t is
| needless at this time for me to re-
mind the board of the extreme embar-
| rassment which still exists in an in
creasing degree In the cramped quar-
ters of our library, its imperfect cat
alleging, and the danger of losing our
valuable collection of books and docu-
ments by fire. This, and the need Of a
women's building, the need of veter-
mary building. the need of new hos
pital, the need of an auditorium, and
of an armory and gymnasium are all
| well known to the members of the
board. The college this year graduated
the largest class in it's history, num-
bering ia, and in addition to this eight
young women received certificates up
, on the completion of the two years
course in domestic science. The re-
quirements for admission have been
steadily advanced until the institution
stands on par with the best institu-
tions of the country. While the rails
ing of the requirements for admission
and the standards of graduation of
necessity bar the admission to the
school of the poorly prepared or unpre-
pared students, and so would seem to
promise a lessening in attendance, yet
the experience Of other institutions has
proven that the raising of the stand
ards will bring an increase in attend
ance because raised standards mean an
increasingly valuable course.
