be built for less than S900,D00 today.
DePauw University at Gfeencaatle,
Indiana, has 750 men students but
their gymnasium cost Sl0s,000 In
1916, which translated into present
building costs means $lS5,000. This
smaller institution with no rich state
behind 1t but depending upon private
endowment is able TO give its men a
far better gymnasium than Illinois,
with almost ten times the number Of
students.
Columbia university. New York, for
gymnasium and land spent ST.
100, 900 some years ago.
Illinois gym, costing $4,000 IN
1902, could be replaced for $4,000
today, plus about $4,000 which has
been expended for remodelings TO
extract the last possible inch Of floor
space.
Ask State for New Gymnasium.
Illinois, with far larger student
body Of men, expends for gymnas-
ium far less than these and other ias
stitutions. 1t is the pride of the state
that its university completes in every
way with the foremost institutions Of
learning in the land. But 1t Is try
ing to provide athletic facilities for
6,0l7 students with a gymnasium that
was hardly adequate for It's student
body way back in 1902.
The board Of trustees has included
In the request for appropriations
$4,000 0for rev gymnasium. This
is far from being an excessive sum
considering the number Of students 10
be served. II will not build magni-
fcent structure by any means. But
il will erect a substantial building
that will accommodate athletic actiyi-
ties of the increasing student body
and lend a new stimulus 10 the slogan
of President Kinley and Director
George Athletics for AL"
What about the women Isn't
their physical welfare just as inn
portant as that Of the menu
This question may be asked. The
answer Is that the board Of trustees
has just spent more than 100000 to
enlarge the gymnasium in the Wom-
ans Building. With the facilities
already available the 2,154 women OF
the university are temporarily pro-
vided for.
Two Million Gift to State.
Just one thing more. Illinois alumni
and students have pledged nearly two
million dollars for a memorial sta
dunn for athletic events and for q
+ future center Of all recreational ac
/ tivities. Because Of their generosity
it will be possible for thousands Of
citizens to see the big football gamel
who otherwise could not have hopet

will become the property Of the stat
/ Of Illinois.
These subscribers to the stadium
live in every town and city in In
