revision and perfecting of the Bernard

won by international competition to
the architect submitting the best and
most beautiful plans for a greater
university. The prize was won by
H. j. M. E. Bernard, an architect of
Paris. In drawing his plans, however,
he worked from descriptions of the
lands. Professor Howard has made
these plans fit the lay of the land The
cost up to date has been $4,000. The
dormitories and commons will face
oxford street instead of being placed
on the other extremity Of the grounds
in the hills. Two ways leading from
University and Center streets converge
on the main drive, which continues to
be the axis of the entire scheme.
Buildings devoted to the studies of
similar subjects are placed in close
proximity.
