Important Changes On The Campus

It has been the common supposition ever since the project was suggested, that the new Science building, which will be constructed at a cost of $200,000 next year, would be placed on E. University Ave., between the gymnasium and the medical building.

That seemed to be the only available space on the campus. And it would be if vacant spots only were to be taken into account. But those in charge have recognized the fact that to crowd in the massive building between two other large buildings with no elbow room would mean a great detraction from its architectural beauty. They have likewise taken into consideration the fact that N. University ave. does not present a very inviting appearance from the fact that from the stretch of nearly a quarter of a mile from State st. to the gymnasium, there is nothing but unoccupied space or antiquated buildings.

Consequently, there is a movement on foot among the university authorities that has been taken so seriously that Architect Spiers has made plans for the utilization of the present homeopathy and dental department buildings into a development of the new Science hall.

In other words. the greatest building on the campus, University hall not excepted, is very more than likely to be located on N. University ave. on the present site of the above departments.

What is to become of the dental college? Why, transfer it to the present medical building on E.University ave. Where are the medics going to secure their lectures and instructions? Why, the plans of the new Science hall will be made to sufficiently accommodate them for years to come. Where are the homeops going? Why, the new Homeopathie hospital will contain an amphitheatre and lecture rooms so that they will be instructed in a building where it will be most accommodating to those students.

For 50 years the medical students have had the occupancy of the old building on E. University ave. They have outgrown it. The Science hall will be arranged so that they will not be obliged to trot from one building to another. Everything will be arranged in compact form so that they can go from the lecture amphitheatre to the several laboratories peculiar to the medical profession. It is certainly a great scheme. It will boom N. University ave. But then that is not the scheme.
