state university is owe and all stu
dents are out of the way, the work of
~renovating and changing is going on
rapidly. No new buildings will be
erected; the cut by the last legislature
in the appropriation asked for making
that impossible.
Carpenters Are Busy.
To get room in which the rapidly ex-
panding work may be done expedients
have been resOrted to. For the medi-
cal department a new floor has been
put into the shop building half way
between the old floor and the ceiling.
The pac obtained is considerable.
Moving the medical work from the
museum building has left space there
10 divide between the departments of
botany and zoology. To make such d.
vision carpenters are at work pulling
down and putting up partitions and
building desks and cabinets. Some new
furniture is also to be received.
In the library building the main
change is that of charging Secretary
Aliens office to make room for the
new book store, which is to be ready
TO handle the book business of the stu
dents by next fall.
Another change will transfer the
Chronicle office to the physical science
building and install Professor Mar
SHALL, head of the department of Eng
l1sh, in the room in the library build
ing thus vacated. Still another chang
by shifting TO the attic a good MANY
dead books" books that are not often
consulted, will result in providing a
new and m~uch-needed class room.
Grounds Being Cared For.
Outside the grounds continue to show
the results of the care they have been
getting. They are as green and free
from dust as if they were a public
park. The trees are already shade
trees. and the lawns are well sodded.
Men are at work constantly sprinkling
and moving and raking. The univer-
sfty teams are kept busy moving the
lucern and hauling in the cured hay
and the vegetables from the training
school garden. Before students now
registered get their degrees the univer-
sity grounds will be among the most
beautiful places in the city.

New Teachers Coming.
Securing new professors for the uni
Nerslty in anatomy and civil engineer
ing is now a matter of selection. MANY
applications have been received for the
TWO positions, both from technically
trained men without practical eype-
renee and from men with actual ex-
perience- h policy of the university
administration seems to favor the man
VIVA has had the technical training
and much outside experience as we'll.
Securing a fit successor for James A.
Stane, the popular foreman of the ma
chine shops. who was dorwned in the
Minnesota river recently, will be very
difficult. Mr.. Strane combined tech
meal skill in iron working. with ability
10 teach and to get on with his stu
dents. The combination is very rare.
Gods to Have Dean.
The university next year is to have
a dean of the women students. The
need of such an officer has been long
felt The advice which growing wo-
men need she can give if she is tact
ful. as well as present the needs of the
