Page Ten 4 --I I i NEW HOYT HALL The new Women ' s dormitory constructed on the campus is as large as the old Hoyt and Woman ' s Buildings together. It is designed to accommodate about 125 young women students, making the combined dormitory facilities of the University capable of accommo- datmg nearly 250 women students. New Hoyt is the first building in a series, which, when all completed, will make the University of Wyoming the best-equipped university in the world for the number of students attending. Degree of progress is not to be measured by the number of new buildings and their value, but a greater university plant is certainly a manifestation of progress; and if we may judge by that standard our Alma Mater is grow ing by leaps and bounds. All hail to a greater Wyoming. A GREATER WYOMING UNIVERSITY A.11 complete: Annex to Hoyt Hall at cost of about $100,000. Heating Plant costing about $35,000.
