A Service to the State The average student on the campus has little conception of the impoitance of the University Extension division in the scheme of university education. Incorporated in this division are correspondence study, extension classes, and the bureaus of school service, municipal reference, general information, visual instruction, lectures and lecture courses. All .service to the people of the state is given at low cost. Other activities of the University, about which the average student hears very little, unless he comes in direct contact, are the state services including the Bureau of Child Research, the Biological Survey, the Entomological Survey, Sanitary Engineering Service, Sociology Field Services, the Drug Laboratory, the Chemistry of Foods Laboratory, the Bacteriology of Foods Laboratory, Industrial Research in Chemistry, the Water and Sewage Laboratory, Weather Reports, and Standardization of Weights and Measures.

A Great Building Era THE University of Kansas is going through the greatest period of building and campus improvements in its history. The legislature of 1921 made appropriations for six buildings for the University. This construction work includes the new electrical engineering laboratory to the rear of Marvin Hall, the power and heating plant built at a cost of $91,141.85, exclusive of equipment, which brings the total cost to $290,000, the new hospital building at Rosedale which is to be ready for occupancy this summer, costing when completed about $325,000, the girls ' dormitory, located on North College Hill to cost $129,- 000 and work on the completion of the Administration Building which will cost . ' $229,000. Much paving has also been done. The Mississippi street approach from the end of the city pavement to the new power plant on the opposite slope has been completed as well as the road west of the car line. In order to landscape the space in front of the Adminis- tration building it was necessary to move 10,000 yards of material, 2,500 yards of which were solid stone. Active in supervision of all these changes is John Shea, Superin- tendent of Buildings and Grounds, who in addition to this, directs the upkeep and maintenance of all the buildings. Page 13
