WHEN the students return to the Institute next September, more improvements will be noted in its physical appearance than have marked any previous six months in its history. Machinery Hall will be completed, containing the power plant in the basement, the laboratories, class-rooms and offices of the electrical engineering department in the north half of the building, those of the mechanical department in the south half, and space for the power machinery operation course of the School of Applied Industries. The present center section of the Design Building will be done, and plans for the two wings are being studied. A 40 x 100 ft. one-story temporary structure for an hydraulic laboratory will be up, attached to the west end of the Science Building. The city budget contains an appropriation for sidewalk improvements in the road through the campus, and the quadrangle will be further improved by the elimination of the temporary affair that has been used as a restaurant, if room can be found for it in Machinery Hall. In addition to the above construction work, the Building Bureau is now engaged on plans for a tower-shaped Central Building, to house a lunch-room and students’ club-room in the basement, administration offices on the first, second and third floors, accommodations for a teachers’ college on the fourth and fifth floors, faculty rooms on the sixth floor, and a small observatory on the roof. Plans arc also being studied for a new M. M. C. S. building to be erected to the rear of the present building, forming an interior court facing the athletic field. A gymnasium, locker-rooms and a swimming pool would come under the terrace. When these projects are completed the Institute will have made a long step forward in its architectural attractiveness.

Nay. even more! The citadel of art for miles around. Spectators? Indeed there were. From everywhere they came in droves to view the spectacle. Real nobility was present, stamping up and down the campus in worried frenzy for a better view. Aye. splendid it was in every sense of the word. Not a temporary thing, of limited duration, but to last for all eternity. Hereafter shall we hear it talked of. resurrected when all other show and tinsel are forgotten. I-ong live the memory of the pageant, and long life to the school that it presages. WHAT an array of color! Such gorgeous splendor! What unrestrained magnificence! The dusky Egyptian, the subtle Greek, the haughty Roman -all were there. Even Adam and his gentle Eve walked side by side with bronzed Hindus and sober Saracens. Pardon a smile, when one thinks of spindle-shanked architects clad in lavender tights, loosely dangling about their legs like half-inflated balloons. Tis also quite a pleasant memory to think of the coy and demure—the gentle decorators, as flounced and ruifled ladies of the court. And those latter-day geniuses. the illustrators—‘ti not with regret that we recall the vision of them, with kingly heads arrayed in tinsel, and with much-bedecked and embroidered doublets. Oh! the lady painters, did you say? Ahem! Yes. they were there with charming color scheme of marvelous
