The New Science Hall

The New Science Hall

Regents asked to build it on Smith property.

And to put the new homeopathic hospital on the campus at their meeting tomorrow.

The deed of the Smith homestead at the corner of S. University and Washtenaw Ave. will be given to the regents tomorrow. There is a project on foot among some of the good people of that section to ask the regents to put the new science building upon this site and place the hospital upon the campus, between the medical building and the gymnasium on the site picked out for the science hall. The argument used is that the science hall is to cost $200,000. It is to be the most pretentious building on the campus and if placed between the gymnasium and the medical building it can only been seen from E. University Ave. The big gymnaisium will hide the N. University Ave. side. Its magnificent proportions will be lost while if placed upon the Smith property where three streets come together, it will stand forth in all its grandeur. This is the argument used by the advocates of the change of buildings to be placed upon the new site.
