that the conditions are actually
restrictive to growth. The col
lege Is being taxed to its capacity
now and does not have room for
nny more students. Tentative
plans have been drawn ir for a
new engineering building that will
fac: Twelfth street and will head
vp the west end of the so-called
mnll of the proposed campus plan.
The building will house classrooms
and laboratories for the electrical
pnglneers, the civil engineers, the
npplied mechanics, the engineer
ing drawers, and the architects.

Dean Ferguson holds no hopes
for the new building for some
time. AHho the engineering col
lege Is at the head of the building
list It has been there for the last
tn vonm and vrrv little has ever
been done. The regents realize the
situation or the couege dui nv
been unable to relieve It.
Library Is Inadequat.
The library is also very inade
quate. When new books are
brought into the library old ones
have to be taken out and stored in
order to mske room for the new
volumes. The library is now com
nosed of about 26.000 volumes but
should be mad much larger. The
space is so restricted inai n is im
possible to keep up to date with
purchases of new books. The de
partment of architecture Is espe
cially needy In this respect.
A number of new instructors
should also be added to the staff
according to Dean Ferguson. Many
of the classes are twice as large as
thev should be. esneciallv the
drafting departments. The staff as
a whole is Drettv well balanced
and there are no very serious holes
in the organization. But the burden
on each instructor is particularly
heavy and the students are not
able to get suitable personal con
tact with them.
Ag Engineering Is Best.
Despite the many other deficien
cies of the college It may well be
proud of the agricultural engineer
ing building located on the Ag col
lege campus. This building Is class
ed as one of the finest engineering
buildings In the country and has
been used as a model for many
other structures at other schools.

(Continued from Page 1.)
1911 class planned a suitable gate
for Purdue's athletic field, and
gathered their money to that end.
But, when the class of 1912 con
ceived the idea of a union building,
the original $5 assessment was
diverted to the student union fund.
A constitution for a union build
ing fund was submitted to the uni
versity in 1912, and was adopted.
It provided that for the time being
the management of the proposed
union would be in the hands of a
financial campaign committee,
composed of four members of the
class of 1913, the junior class that
year, three faculty members, three
alumni members, the president of
the university, and one other trus
tee. Fund O wi.
RV ion J7 100 had been raised.
The fund continued to grow with
the coming of eacn ciass unui uii,
when the United States entered
th. WnrM war. At the. close of the
war, a broader scope was given
the union building, and it was ae
i,ih tn riu fund for the erec
UUCU fcVF -
tlon of an activity building dedl-
tn atnrisnt enternrtae as a
memorial to those who had lost
their lives in the war.
With this purpose in mind, a
namnaiirn was launched in 1920
among students, alumni, and
friends of Purdue for pledges to
th. atmirture. An executive
...tim and a committee of
three, including the dean of the
annotated bv the
board of trustees to draft articles
of organization for tne ruroue
Memorial Union. Alumni were

associations, and field workers
were sent out to collect alumni
subscriptions. Students were or
ganized into their respective class
es and sections within the classes,
and were asked to pledge to the
union.
1800,000 by 1920.
This campaign resulted In a
subscription of approximately
$800,000 by the end of 1920. A
constitution was adopted in 1921,
nrntrh nrovidud for two boards.
I one of directors and one of gov-
4 a M.MMAlm carried An
during: 1921 raised . subscription of
$83,000 additional funds, which
made the total amount subscribed
$883,000. Of this total, 3,114 stu
dents gave $440,350 and 3.078
alumni subscribed $423,686.75.
About $20,000 had previously been
subscribed by special assesments
on grading classes.
Ground for the building was bro
ken June 13, 1922. Its construction
was put to use in 1924 on a tem
porary basis. Students continued
to subscribe to the building, with
the 1928 and 1927 classes adding
$41,300 and $50,175 respectively,
making the grand total subscrip
tion some $990,956.78.

The building is now used for un

Amonsr the many rooms pro
vided In the building is the cafe
teria, which takes care of 341 per
sons at a time. Nearly a thousand
students have been served lunch
eons there during a single noon
hour. Students can board at tne
cafeteria for $4.50 each week.
More than thirty students are em
ployed in the cafeteria during rush
hours.
Use Hall for Dancing.
Assembly hall, the central room
on the Ilrst rioor, accommoaaiee
350 couples for dancing. It is also
used for banquets of 450 or more
persons, and for gatherings which
number more than 900. Other
rooms in the structure take care of
smaller crowds.
Two reception rooms adjoin the
main hall, one for men and one for
women. A serving room also is
attached. These reception rooms
are used for conference and com
mittee rooms by practically all
student organizations. Separate
smaller banquet rooms are pro
vided for club dinners, which aver
age more than two each week.
General Lounge is Popular.
The reneral lounge, where men
and women students may meet to
talk or pass time is the most gen
erally used room in the building.
It is also used by couples at dances
on Saturday evening. The lounge
provides a place where students
and alumni may sit ana reaa De
fore a large cozy fireplace. Maga
zines and newspapers are fur
nished free of charge.
All students are entitled to use
the building. Student registration
cards are membership cards In the
memorial union. Also, all alumni
and friends of the university who
have pledged and paid up to date a
life membership $100, payable in
five installments of $20 each.)
Alumni, former students, and at
taches of the university who are
not life members are entitled to use
the union building upon payment
of $4 per semester.
Houses 28 Activities.
The building houses twenty
eight separate and distinct student
activities. As the articles of organ
ization set out, "the purpose of the
Purdue Memorial union are to or
ganize the activities of undergrad
uates, alumni and faculty; to fur
nish a social, recreational, and ed
ucatlonal center for Purdue men
and women and to provide accom
modations for educational, scienti
fic, and Industrial conferences and
meetings, to the end that Purdue
men and women may be brought in
intimate touch with problems, lea
ders, and workers in a wide range
of activities."
All this is planned, "to the end
that students, faculty and alumni
may have facilities which tend to
ward the development of broader
culture, initiative of a democratic
sDirit. cenerous rivalry and
zealous love of alma mater; all of
which purposes and activities shal;
be educational in character and are
intended solely to supplement the
education furnish by the univer
sity and prescribed in its curricu
lum."

ultra-violet ray he lost no time in
making the most of the instru
ment. At last Dr. Philbrick, in a
spirit of rebellion, told him he
should read Moliere's "Imaginary
Invalid." Needless to say, the
pointed suggestion did not Impress
Itself very favorably, and the boy
has not been seen since.
"Our greatest difficulty is with
students who come up here in
tending to move heaven and earth,
if necessary, to obtain a perman
ent reprieve from military drill,"
said Dr. Lyman. "Most of these, of
course, are not genuine, although
I sometimes wonder if the boys
themselves realize that fact.
Boy Thinks Self III.
"At one time a boy with abso
lutely nothing whatsover the mat
ter with him convinced himself he
had all kinds of imaginary dis
eases. He even went to the trouble
of collecting recommendations for
his excuse from every chiropractor,
osteopaht or physician with whom
he was at all acquainted. Of course
he wasn't excused. Later, I found
he was a premed student.
"One of the most unique things
I have ever seen in my experience
in this department of the univer
sity was a letter from some newly
regiestered boy asking if medical
fee noted on his receipt was pay
able every day, and why he had to
pay so much for a course for
which he had never registered.
Such letters, however, are rather
rare, because this department is
too far from the main current of
campus activity to have very many
experiences of that type."
The usual run of complaints, ac
cording to Dr. Lyman, is reduced
this year, probably due to the lim
ited registration. A special de
crease is noted in the contagions,
such as scarlet fever. Colds, as al
ways, form the bulk of the cases.
