college mokes visible progress. . . Progress in higher education is not always as visible as it has been during the past year at Kansas State College of Pittsburg. With a large increase in enrollment, an increase in the size of the faculty, and the construction of two buildings and an addi- tion to another, it has become apparent that the for- mer 'cteachers collegei' is growing up. The Education building, a three-story brick struc- ture costing some S475,000, is to contain fourteen class rooms, twenty double offices, one main de- partment office, two conference rooms, one cur- riculum laboratory, one psychology laboratory, a research room, storage room, a faculty lounge, and a student lounge. The building, which is to be the location of the Education and Psychology depart- ment, will face south on Cleveland street, ninety- six feet north of the sidewalk, and will extend back for one hundred and twenty-five feet. The three-story, 3B700,000 addition to the Stu- dent Center will enable the Grill to hold a capacity of four hundred persons in comparison with the present eighty-five person capacity. The addition will also house more student offices and meeting rooms, additional cafeteria conveniences, a small ballroom, additional game areas, more small lounges and dining rooms, a browsing library, a music 'listening room, more entrances, and the Col- lege Book Store. The structure will extend sixty-six feet east of the present building and will bring the size of the Student Center to two hundred and thirty- six feet in length. The serious student housing problem of recent years will be somewhat reduced with the opening of Nation Hall. The four-story, 3450,000 dormi- tory will, upon completion, house one hundred and twenty-six women and is being constructed south of East Hall. The building is being named for Odella Nation, former College faculty member. ..... if e .....rse-t1 , .1-' ' A Q g i f Y! ' c ' ii 5 1 ff- if V,,. W Q' or ' 's r. .gn t EQ as ft'
