Greater Washington By PRESIDENT KANE. The term, Greater Washington, suggests, first, at the close of the Exposi- tion, the increased number of buildings. While we could not regard this the lirst element of the Greater Washington in point of importance, it is a necessity to the University's growth and development. Five buildings were constructed out of the appropriation of l5600,000 made directly to the University: the Auditorium Building, the Chemistry Building, the Engineering Building, the new Power House and the Foundry Building: the new Power l-louse, in turn, releasing the building previously used as a Power House to be used as a building for the School of Mines. Nine regular Exposition buildings have been adapted to direct university uses: The Washington State Building as a library: the Forestry Building for the School of Forestry and museum purposes: the Educational Building for the depart- ments of Education and Journalism: the Good Roads Building for Good Roads and Engineering work: the Oregon Building for the Law School and general class-rooms: the California Building for the Niuseum: the Philippine Building for the Mines Rescue Training Station Laboratories: the Criental Building for an Armory: the Administration Building for the University Administrative Uflices. Besides these, eleven buildings have been made available for subsi- diary university purposes: The New York Building for the President's resi- dence: the Hoo l-loo l-louse for a Faculty Club: the Arctic Building for the Men's Club: the Womenis State Building for the Womenis Club: the Michi- gan Building for a residence for the University engineer: the Womenis League and Baptist Buildings for residences: the Dairy Building for a carpenter shop and machinery: the Model Dairy Barn for a University barn: the Life-Saving Station Building for the use of the crew, and the Masonic Building to be used for University purposes not now definitely assigned. Q In connection with the buildings should be mentioned the improvements on the grounds, amounting to about il5300,000,fand especially the paved streets and walks and, likewise, the natural theater and music pavilion and the greenhouses. These additional buildings are to help provide room for the rapidly increas- ing enrollment of the University, which for the present year, i909-l 0, is l,870 for the regular and 285 for the summer session, making a total enrollment for I3
