The Q3tt11m1'D lltttrcb of the State llttivctsittt The University management is very greatly encouraged this year by the gen- erous appropriation of the state legislature which provides for many needed addi- tions to the equipment. The high ideal of scholarship and thorough mastery of subjects taught, which the University tries to attain requires the best equipment possible and this is being provided by the state with a fairness that shows how the work of the institution is recognized and commended. The most seriously needed building for which the apprcpriation is designed is that for the library. Students and faculty have long felt the imperative need for such a building and are rejoiced that it is now assured. The library. at present, is in rooms of the Dormitory much too crowded to be of the greatest usefulness. While the library room itself is inadequate, the Dormitory is thus encroached upon and several rooms that otherwise could well be used in the Dormitory are occupied as reading rooms. The new building, besides library and reading rooms will, for a time, relieve the demand for class rooms which for the past few years has been urgent and somewhat embarassing. The music studios now in the Dormitory will probably be more conveniently situated in the Library building, thus leaving the Dormitory free from class or library work of any kind. As the Library increases all the rooms in the building will be required for it, but in the meantime they may serve many helpful purposes. In proportion as it has been a long desired addition to the campus it will be a highly appreciated one. 28
