Years later, the need for further expansion became acute and by popular subscription funds were raised for the construction of the Memorial Stadium in 1922 and Stephens Union in 1923. A State referendum was taken in 1926 to allocate funds for the Life Sciences Building, erected on a site that had for years been the football practice field.
