CAMPUS LAKE ASSURED.
Friend Of Iowa State College to Bear
Expense Of Improvement.

Expense Of Improvement.
Ames, Aug. 19-Oficial announce
ment was made Yesterday afternoon
from the presidents office that a large
lake covering most of the low land be-
tween the WEIGH street entrance to the
campus and the interurban tracks will
be constructed at once.
The proposition has been under con-
sideration for some time. 1t was the
wish of the donor of the Improvement
who wishes, for reasons of his own,
to remain anonymous-that the main
entrance to the campus be made at
Lynn avenue. and that the property
in that vicinity be improved in a fit
ting manner. Arrangements for this
part of the program are being made
and il is quite possible that things
which are not arranged now will be
arranged later It was the intention
TO secure property or options on prop
cry which might possibly be built
upon later. and TO restrict the district
10 residences. The college feels that
stores would be out of place at the en-
trance which is proposed.
The lake, however, will be built as
the first step in this program, and the
work is 10 start Immediately. The creek
will be damned, excavations made, and
banks shaped. so that the lake will
soon be a reality.
This is undoubtedly one Of the big
gest improvements to be made on the
campus since the systematic planning
of the grounds has been started With
the pine trees on the hill to the south
and the concrete drive to the north,
the bridge to the west and the main
entrance-when il comes-to the east
the spot of water will be one of the
most beautiful sights on the campus.
According to the plan the lake will
be at least 400 feet in length, and
bout $50 feet wide.
