MRS. SAGE GIVES
TRACT TO N. Y. U.
Engineering Building Will Be
Erected on It, Chancellor
Brown Announces.

The great need for trained engineers
not only for war work but during the
mighty task of reconstruction which Is
to come after the allied victory was
dwelt upon yesterday by Chancellor FL
mer L. Brown of New York University
in announcing a gift of a tract by Mrs.
Russell Sage as the site of new ensi-
neering building which the university Is
about to erect.
"As Secretary OF War Baker recently
pointed out" said Chancellor Brown,
The day OF the engineer will be the big
day The United States needs 100000
more engineers to-day and the need will
increase. Every activity OF the univer-
sity that can be used in the vigorous
prosecution of the war Is devoted to that
purpose.
Not only the War Department but
the entire Administration at Washington
realizes the seriousness of a shortage OF
engineers, and President Wilson has
written that it is not only Immediately
necessary that as many students as pos
sible should prepare themselves for en-
gineering duties in the army and navy.
but that it is also OF first Importance
to the country that there should be an
adequate supply of engineers for the
the termination of hostilities."
The new engineering building about to
be built is to be provided by special
committee, It was announced at the uni
versity, The site for the building, which
was acquired through the generosity OF
Mrs. Sage. is on University Heights. The
new engineering plant is particularly
needed inasmuch as the university has
outgrown its present equipment in this
engineering instruction will also permit
of a big expansion in the department OF
chemistry.
Owing to the hard and persistent work
of the alumni teams, who are laboring to
raise a fund of s450000 TO enable the
university to meet the abnormal strain
Of war conditions. the fund has now
reached proportions which give promise
that by the opening OF the fall session
the institution will be able to go ahead
with several projects for which tho
money Is being raised.
