The University has seen the creation of more than three and one-fourth million dollars worth of buildings during the past eleven years as a result of the ten-year building plan initiated by Chancellor E. H. Lindley. This figure does not include the $150,000 hospital, now under construction, which was donated to the University by Mrs. J. B. Watkins.
Five-sixths of the three and one-fourth million was in gifts outside of legislative tax appropriations. The Union building, the Stormfront, Watkins dormitory, and Henley hall were made possible by these gift funds.
Six new buildings were added by the regular appropriation. They include: parts of the Administration building, the Auditorium, Sawyer hall, Corbin hall, Watson library, and the Electrical laboratory.
