The Lower Division Tin- has la-t-n tin- first year i the cxist- i the Lower Division. Organized in . ' 2i). it has not yet been in operation enoni;ii to demonstrate to what degree it fuhill the expectations of its creators. Un- ihi- new plan a freshman does not have to ect a major subject at once, but simply en- Is in the University for two years. . t the ml of that time he selects a department for mder the nld i lan. Duriuij the two years in the Ixjwer Divi- ion. certain general requirements must be ful- illed which are designecl to assure some ac- laimaiuT with fundamental fields of human iKa ' ii- pii, ,r to specialization in one sub- .KtML.hM Kx, , .,,- ,Mi,MK j . j These retiuirements provide for a certain distribution of work among different groups of departments, and also insist upon the completion of a certain minimum amount of work in foreign languages, his- tory, science, English composition, and social science. ' l ' new lourses are given as a result of this organization; one in General Biolog and one in Citizenship. The administrative duties are performed by a committee of the faculty which has taken over the functions formerly performed by the several departments. These duties cover the approval of study-cards, adjustment and enforcement of the requirements, provision of the necessary courses, and the adjustment of the schedule. The relation between the Lower Division and the several departments will not develop fully for another year at least. . t present there is no indication that there will be serious difficulties in this respect and there is every reason to believe that departmental re(|uirements will be met. The accomplishments discerTiible at this time are !ioi many or great, but they are encouraging. Atove all. however, the s|)irii of cn.ipcration wiiich has been evident, and the willingness of the student- to fnllow the plan- adojited by the I ' acultv of the I ' niver-ity. all au nr well for the ultimate -ucce-s ..i the policy.

The present Men ' s I ' nion was completed in 1913 and the Wom- en ' s Club House in the same year. In I ' U ' ), -Mr. W. II. ' osl.nr-h and -Mr. II. M. Proctor presented to the President of the University an excellent prospectus showing the threat need for additional campus eating facili- les, and outlining a plan for financing and man- aging a University Commons. .Mthough this plan has not been followed in all its details, it ' ' ' ' ■ ' ' ' ' did furui li the inuneiliate inspiration for the construction of the additional dining hall now under construction. . n . lumnus of the University has anonymously contributed $100,000 toward the cost of the new building and the remaining $150,000 has been appropriated by the I ' .oard of Trustees, liakewell P.rown of San I ' Vancisco. who designed the new Stanford Library, are the architects for the new building. They have followed a sugges- tion presented in a preliminary sketch by Mr. Birge Clark, Stanford ' 14, and when completed, the new building, together with the Men ' s Union and the Wom- en ' s Club Plouse, will form a group connected by arcades alxiut a central court. The three buildings will constitute a real P ' niversity L ' nion. The first floor of the new building will be given over to the kitchen and dining halls. The second and third floors will be used as dormitories and will furnish accommodations for approximately 140 men. A portion of the second floor is arranged in suites to accommodate guests of the University. The rooms are so arranged that, if desired, they can be used in suites of three rooms for two men ; the center room as a study and living room and the two adjoining rooms as bedrooms. The contract for the construction of the new building, whicli has been awarded to Mr. George Wagner of San I ' rancisco. calls for completion before the opening of the . utumn Quarter of l ' )21. p Roth.
