VERY HOT EVENING FOR COMMENCEMENT

104 IN THE SHADE IS TODAY’S RECORD

College Thermometer Hits Highest Record and People Are Sweltering in Discomfort, 104 in the shads today That is the record for several years, we believe. The college thermometer had reached that extremely high point before 2 o’clock. People who could afford it have been devoting their attention to finding cool places and not many have succeeded. There is a little breeze stirring but it only seems to strike a few places which have already been pre-empted. Friday the mercury reached almost one-half degree above 101 and that was the hottest tor two years. Today it has climbed to a mark seldom reached even in July or August. * • • * ■ ' • John W. King has a thermometer that registers about the samfe as the government thermometer at the college and before the report from the college had been received he called to say that his registered 103.

Plans For College Changes Received and Approved.

The plans for raising the big gymnasium at the college and for building the addition to be used for a science hall have been approved, aqd the work will be begun shortly. As stated heretofore the gymnasium will be jacked up about twelve feet and a wall constructed beneath. The building was too low in the first place and the basement has never been of much use. The gymnasium will have better light, proper ventilation, and added equipment and new shower baths. On the same floor with the gymnasium and under the new science hall will be constructed a swimming pool with a varying water depth of from Ito 10 feet. The new addition will be 60 feet deep and 85 feet wide. The science hall will consist of two loops, which will eventually he horoughly equipped with laboratories for chemistry, biology and physics. Except by lectures there ms been little science instruction in the course heretofore. There is a demand for it but it will not be made complete for some three years. The cost of the new building and the changes to the gymnasium will be only abdut $40,000 to $45,000. somewhat less than formerly stated n this paper. There will probably be about tne, same attendance at the school the coming year as there was last year. The dormitories were all filled and It would be next to impossible to care for a larger number, and it is not probable that the school will be enlarged with a view to Increasing the attendance for four or five years. Other Improvements are in contemplation for succeeding years and the policy of the college will be One of great progress.
