A BUSY SUMMER ON MOUNT OREAD
MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE ON THE CAMPUS.
New Lighting System Installed Natural Pavement Removed From Front of Fraser Hall.
Many improvements about the campus were made during the summer. The results of the summer's work are more noticeable this year than formerly, as they are above ground. Last year the improvement was mostly tunnel work.
Light-clusters have been placed near the entrance of the several buildings and along the walk from the gym to the engineering building. Each cluster contains five Tungsten lamps of 225 candle power. They are on every evening from 7 to 11 and can be seen from Sibley, a small town about eight miles southeast of Lawrence.
New cement walks have been built north of the museum and around the gym.
Much work has been done on and about Fraser hall. About 600 square feet of solid rock to the depth of 18 inches were taken from in front of Fraser. Soil was added and sodded. The cornice was painted for the first time since 1872. Hardwood floors were laid in all the halls. A double vault was built in the north end. The basement vault is to be used for the seismograph and the standard weights and measures. The vault in the business office is fitted with steel fixtures for the vouchers and records of the secretary's and registrar's office. The rooms in the south basement have been fitted up for the home economic department. The outside stairway will be used as a regular exit from Fraser hall when the doors are completed and the steel work is approved.
In the Engineering building the electrical laboratory is being equipped with seven new generators and motors having sixty-five kilo watt capacity. When completed the laboratory will equal the laboratory of any university or factory.
A safety vault was built north of the chemistry building near the street car tracks for the purpose of storing explosive or dangerous chemicals. The west end of the basement of the Chemistry building was divided into six rooms for the industrial fellows.
The woodwork in the interior of North College, Green hall and Snow hall has been painted. A new slate roof is being placed on Snow hall.
The coal bins have been enlarged so that about 450 tons, or about twelve cars of coal can be stored.
Faculty Ladies' Reception. The annual reception of the ladies of the faculty to new students was held last Saturday evening on the upper floor of Robinson gymnasium. Assisting Dr. and Mrs. Strong in receiving the guests were Professor and Mrs. W. H. Carruth, and Professor and Mrs. W. E. Higgins. Ladies of the faculty presided at the punch bowls, and many others of the faculty with their wives helped to welcome the first year students Upper classmen were also present to enjoy the occasion and assist in introducing the first year students.
