new school building on Monday, which
has just been completed, through the
generosity of Miss Florence Child. The

in the state and is believed to be very

as nearly fre-proof as is possible with
the appropriation. The building is con-

SHOULD INTEREST SENIORS
They Could Experiment With
Lifting Power of Planes
and Propellers.
SHOULD INTEREST SENIORS

Il do not believe that a special
course in aeronautics, or upon any
special line of aeronautics, such as is
being contemplated by the University
OF Wisconsin, is advisable" said Prof.
H. W. Hibbard. of the School of En-
gineering of the University OF Mis-
souri, yesterday.
The science of aeronautics is not
advanced far enough to take up the
teaching of it, but believe that there
is no better place for experimental
work on the details OF the aeroplane
than in the engineering schools OF the
universities.
Il should be very happy if some OF
the seniors in the School of Engineer
ing should take up experiments with
aerial propellers or the lifting power
OF planes. It is within the limits OF
their facilities and their time"
Prof Hibbard says the statement
that he intended TO build an aeroplane
was incorrect.
What l did say was that it is pos
sible TO build one here" he said today.
Well. don't you really intend TO
build an acceptance" ne was asked
He smiled.
Regarding that, l have nothing TO
say" was his only reply.
