1able board and room rent amount to
$40 per month, which is approximately
the cost of maintenance.
The criticisms of the existing arrange
ments are first, they are inadequate to
take care Of more than 80 girls the pres
ent NUMBER, second, they require four
matrons instead of one, thus distribu>
ting instead of centralizing authority over
the girls, and third, the old residences
are not altogether suitable for dormi-
tory purposes. the rooms being too large;
fourth, the distance to the central din
ing hall-200 yards-is too far for the
girls to walk In Indictment weather. The
girls, however, seem to be fairly well
satisfied with the accommodations given
them and there is very little complaint.
The following are the rules and regu-
lations governing the annexes
l. Meals viii be served only during
the regular meal hours.

men. except to or from church exercises

river is forbidden.

ceDt III the annex paflors, or halls, and

Doons and Sunday nights.

stricted on Friday nights.

IL. Exceptions to the foregoing reg

All women students who are boarding

serve the foregoing rules and regula-
tons with the exception that in all

tanned they must apply for such per-
mission to the president or the dean In
stead offs to one OF the rnatrons.
In Morgan hall, the new academic
building, splendid rest room has been
provided for the use of women stu :
dents. During the past year cement
walk has been laid along the west side
or the campus to point near the an
nexes and the various university build
ings are being connected with broad
cement walks. These walks should con-
tribute greatly to the comfort of the
students in disagreeable weather.
Furthering Their Interests
Practically every suggestion that I de-
sire to make that would further the in
terests of the women students calls for
the expenditure of money. To my certain
knowledge the university, with the linn
tied funds at its command, is doing all
within its power to serve the young wom-
en- efficiently and well, and before 1t can
do more adequate funds must be secured
from some source. The university today
needs library building, a gymnasium,
and a chemistry building and needs them
badly, but they cannot be had for want
of money. owing to the exhausted condi-
ton of the state treasury 1T is useless to
look to the Legislature for help. The APP
preparation of 100000 made three years
ago is yet unpaid and is likely to re-
main So Now if the money for the
things so urgently needed cannot be Sc
cured from the legislature, where can it
be had? The only practical answer is,
as | see it. from private sources. con-
