A new heating plant is being erected |
on the back campus. Steam will be gen
Grated by two No. 81, 254 horse power
horizontal return tubular boilers. Pro-
vision is being made for installing two
additional boilers. One end of the build
ing, 70x40 feet, is designed for an engine
room, in which an electric lighting plant
may be installed sometime in the future.
Flue gases will discharge into a Custodis
radial brick stack, 12O feet high. con-
crete tunnel will run from the new
boiler plant and connect with all of the
buildings All steam pipes and eletric
wires will be located i'll this tunnel. The
College buildings will be heated by the
Webster Vacuum System. In order to
install this new system, many changes
have been made necessary i'll the piping
of the buildings. Many new radiators
have been installed. The main contract
for the work has been awarded to the
Manufacturers Contracting Co., of Will
mington, Del, and the work is under
the personal supervision of Mr.. Hough,
who planned the layout. The need of
an adequate heating plant has been felt
for years With the completion of this I
plant i'll October, every building on the J
will be comfortable even in the /
most extreme weather.
The new course in Arts and Science, l
by the Faculty in 1912, having
been in operation one year. shows a q
marked improvement over the old divis- $
ion of the field into Classical, Latin, Sci Y
entifc, and General Science Courses. a

dents have but few restrictions i'll the Il
choice of studies, and are thus able to a
begin early special work in any chosen c
