There are many arguments in favor
of a new building for the law college'
according to Mr.. EneiX. Continuing,
he said: "One good one is that 1t will
aid in relieving congestion in the col

voted to the arts and science lecture

would give another wing to the arts
college and relieve the congestion now
being suffered. and 1t would enable the
University authorities TO keep the arts

tically in one building. When the new
I medical building was completed the
medical school was moved and it was
thought that this would relieve con il
