'l'lll H RIS lum. rooms. The top floor is devoted entirely to the Junior and Senior drafting rooms. Special attention has been paid to the matter of illumination of the drafting rooms in view of which a skylight of large area has been p1'ovided at the peak ol llle I'Uof. l'rof. XY. D. Pence, head of the Department, has given his personal attention to the design and construction of the building. The new Civil Building will do much to relieve the pres- ent crowded condition of the Engineering Laboratory, but something must be done to relieve the congestion of the Department of Practical Mechanics. In other words the 3100000 requested from the state in 1905 must soon be forthcoming if the work of instruction is to go on with any- thing like the past standard of efficiency. XX'ith the 360,000 appropriation for the new Chemical Building, a most promising structure is contemplated, both architecturally and in its equipment. The present plans from which the building is to be constructed, provide for a three-story building to contain a large lecture room and numerous spacious and conveniently appointed laboratories. Preparations are being made for the improvement of the Electrical Laboratory, to the extent that plans have been drawn for the addition of a large lecture room on the ground floor and for greatly increased laboratory space. The crowded condition of the Electrical Building has been the cause of much inconvenience, to say nothing of the conse- quent detriment to the research work which has been car- ried on in spite of the adverse conditions. The total attendance at the University during the past year was 2,0273 1,688 at the LaFayette Institution and 339 at the Medical School at Indianapolis. The 1,688 at the LaFayette school was sub-divided as follows: Freshemn, 478, Sophomores, 4095 juniors, 312g Seniors, 221: Phar- macy, 1013 Special, 365 Graduate, 31, 1Vinter Course in Agriculture, 102. The Class of 1905 was graduated on June 7, at which time 203 Bachelors Degrees were granted, distributed as follows: In Science, 19: in Agriculture, 6, in Mechanical Engineering, 635 in Civil Engineering, 495 in Electrical Engineering, 6-l. Graduate degrees were conferred as fol- lows: Master of Science, lg Mechanical Engineer, 1, Civil Engineer, 3: Electrical Engineer, 2: Twenty-seven were graduated from the School of Pharmacy.
