Its construction has been placed in capable hands, and the finished structure will be ready for occupancy in the fall of 1910. As has been the rule throughout. the most modern equipment will be used. Xo expense will be spared to provide in every sense the highest state of efficiency possible.

The architectural idea of the completed University will Ik much nearer fulfillment with the addition of these two units, and while the present aspect may be disappointing. it is well to await what the future will bring forth. Not until then can be understood the magnificence of the selected plan. With the construction of the third and fourth buildings new links will be forged in the chain binding the institution together. A firmer organization of the student hotly, a far-reaching grasp of the various facilities offered, a greater conception of the capacity of the school —all these will assist in the final realization of the hope and expectations of the friends of the University.
