A beauty spot was added to the

vicinity of the dairy department,

to the stock barns, and 3,000 feet
of 4 inch pipe in irrigation proj
ects. The bull pen was fixed up
with concrete posts and boiler
flues. Six stall garages, the gift
of the government, were erected
for the Aggies. A coal pit was
built for the Ag heating plant to
enable the school to use a loco
motive crane in unloading its coal
and save the hand labor.
The sidewalk entrance to the
Student Union building was laid
this summer and the fine grading
and seeding on the lawn also. New
steps and sidewalk were put in
adjacent the coliseum. The tennis

Endowment, Grants
Finance Halls
Work will start this fall on two
new residence halls for women ad
joining Carrie Belle Raymond hall,
according to a recent announce
ment by University officials.
The first new building will be
known as the Julia L. Love Me
morial residence In honor of the
wife of Don L. Love, former mayor
and prominent citizen of Lincoln,
who has given S55,000 toward
erection of the hall. This will be
Supplemented by a grant recently
approved by the PWA.
Fronting on 16th st flush with
the west front of Raymond hall,
the structure will house 96 girls.
It will be attached to the present
unit by means of the existing
porch on the north. Similar in de
sign to the present hall, it will be
three stories in height, of red brick
construction trimmed In stone, and
carrying out the present modified
colonial design. It is not intended
that the new building lose Its iden
tity in the larger unit of Raymond
hall, but it will be distinctive in
itself. A suitable bronze tablet will
be erected in it as a memorial to
Mrs. Love.
Structures House 100.
The second residence hall will be
erected at the northeast corner of
Raymond hall, according to pres
ent plans, and it too will be con
nected to the latter structure by a
porch. It will be financed by a
PWA grant and the University
dormitory corporation.
In stating why he made the gift
of $55,000 to the University, Mr.
Love said that "Nebraska and the
city of Lincoln have done much
for me and I am happy in being
able to show my appreciation in
this way. I have been here so long
and have been so closely asso
ciated with Chancellor Burnett and
many faculty members of former
years that the University of Ne
braska seems more like my own
university.'' Mrs. Love and Mrs.
Burnett were close friends, and it
was largely through Dr. Burnett's
efforts that the gift was secured.
Expressing his appreciation for
Mr. Love's generosity, former
Chancellor Burnett said, "The Uni
versity Is under lasting obligations
to Mr. Love for this beautiful resi
dence hall which will make a de
lightful home for approximately
100 University girls throughout
their college years."

Summer Meets Keep
Campus Highlighted

Enrollment reached 2.215, nearly
200 ahead of last year's 2.017 reg
istrants. Professors from nine uni
versities worked on the summer
faculty as well as a number of
superintendents ' and supervisor
from various cities throughout the
state.
One of the biggest events .held
on the campus during the summer
was the University's educational
conference, June 22-25. Dr. W. E.
Blatz. psychologist for the Dionne
quintuplets artd-a. ynember of the
St, George s school for child study
at Toronto, Canada, . was among
the principal speakers. Other
speakers from out of the state in
cluded Dr. H. L. Caswell of Co
lumbia university, and Dr. Clyde
M. Hill of Yale. More than 500

ence.
Successful Boys' State.
Two hundred and fifty-four
boys, high school juniors from all
over the state, moved into Lincoln
last June to set up the first Corn
