Textile Building % 15 s e y W is-mi-iAS N THIS building may be found a typical textile mill of accepted type of modern construction. On the first floor is the machinery necessary for cord¬ ing, spinning and warp-preparation, while the sec¬ ond floor is occupied by weaving and cloth finish¬ ing machinery, the designing and class-rooms, and the instructor’s offices. The whole equipment is modeled after the arrangement of an ideal cotton mill, and even the heating and fire protection are of the highest approved types. This is as yet a young but growing industry in Texas, and in this building one has the best opportunity for studying what is destined to become the South’s most flour¬ ishing manufacturing industry. v-. iji: 19

Agricultural and Horticultural Building HE Agricultural and Horticultural Department have outgrown this building and are now trying to get a legislative appropriation to cover the cost of a structure which will be a credit to these most important courses. This building now ac¬ commodates both branches with the exception of the Extension Department which had to resort to the temporary shelter of tents. In the build- ding are rooms for class instruction, laboratory investigations, museum purposes, butter and cheese making, pasteurizing milk, seed store room, and the necessary offices for the accommo¬ dation of the heads of the departments. 18
