i tcg Q l}t Nnu Agrintltural Iml tug The continued rowth of the College, and the increase in the enrollment of students desiring to study agriculture, have long since rendered the present facilities and quarters of the Agricultural Department inadequate. A separate and modern Agricultural I ' uilding has, therefore, become one of the pressing needs of the College. The new Agricultural Ijuilding now being constructed at a cost of nearly v i 70,000 is, when completed, to be u]) to date and modern in every respect. It is to be a three-story, iire])roof structure of brick and stone, and will be situated between the Engineering Building and the Boulevard, and in line with the Chemical and Engineering Buildings. The building forms an H, with a large auditorium constituting the horizontal. It will furnish adequate accommodations for the teaching of all phases of agriculture, and includes a large stock-judging pavilion, which may also be used as a drill hall and temporary gymnasium. It is to be hoped that this is but the first of many buildings that will be erected on the camjjus in the near future. 20
