Well, that's the third scalp.
GIVING
We are told to learn to give while wc are young. As a re
minder we may suggest that there are various ways of giving.

Football games and picnics were scheduled and then it
rained.
NAMES FOE BUILDINGS
Many names have been suggested for the various new build
ings to be placed upon the extended University campus. Some
have suggested the names of living professors, others those of de
ceased members of the faculty- in passing it might be stated that
Chancellor Avery's article on "Bessey Hall," appearing in this
issue, thoroughly answers that question in the second paragraph.
Excessive speed is going faster than any sensible fellow wants
to ride.
THE "MIXER"
Rain or shine, it seems that the. "Mixers" can be nothing but
a real success. Even the drinking fountains m Memorial Hall
were in excellent workinc ondition last Friday night, but the elec
tric fans are still to be placed. Must the student body send special
representatives. to the authorities in order to arrange for a better
air circulation in Memorial Hall during the "Mixers?
Punch" is just plain, every-day "Horse-sense" with a "kick
in it.

PLANS OF BESSEY
HALL DESCRIBED

be utilized tor lockers, toilet rooms,
store rooms, constant temperature
rooms and other features of a modern
laboratory of natural science. The
entire space of the building will be
divided almost equally between the de
partments of Botany and Zoology.
Commodious offices and a number of
special rooms for the use and com
fort of the occupants will be pro
vided. The building will be 235 feet
long and 75 feet wide in its widest
part. The center of the building fac
ing south will open upon the space
reserved for greenhouses. The build
ing Itself is to be of brick, hard
burnt, of a reddish brown color, se
lected with a certain roughness and
bloom on the surface. The mortar

for their growth for many years to
come. When the number of ttudents
of Botany becomes to large for the
new Quarters, we can build a separate
building for Zoology, leaving the en
tire space of the Bessey building to
Botany.
Completion of the Building
The building will cost approximate
ly $200,000 when completed and fin
ished. The Unherslty considers It
self fortunate in the fact that the low
est bid was made by a firm which has
not only the reputation of doing excel
lent work but of doing its work
promptly. This firm agrees to com
plete the general construction In 120
working days. Assuming, then, that
there is not too much cold and stormy
weather during the spring and sum
mer following, there 'should be no dif
ficulty in having the building ready for
use at the beginning of the next school
year. The ground is now ready so
that the excavation may begin at any
time.
A Memorial Tablet
For a few hundred dollars a beautiful
memorial tablet could be placed in the
principal hall of the new building.
Some- of the former students of Dr.
Bessey have attained wealth. Would
not some one of them like to volunteer
to place a memorial worthy of his be
loved teacher where the thousands of
students tliat will throng tnis building
in the years to come may look upon
his features cast in enduring bronze
by some skilled workman after the
clay model of some great artist? The
Regents of the University will be
pleased to accept and place n a suit
able place such a tribute.

joints will be wide and raked. The
trimming will be of Bedford stone.
This material will also form the fac
ing of the building as high as the
base of the windows on the first floor.
The building itself is to be of the
steel wall-bearing type and will be
thoroughly fireproof. In this type of
structure the masonry of the walls
carries part of the weight of the
! frame while the frame itself supports
the floors, partitions and roof.
In harmony with all the new build
ings of the University the building will
be of classic architecture. It will
depond for Its beauty on graceful lines
and symmetry rather than on expen
sive ornamentation. In harmony with
Dr. Bessey's character we shall try
to make the building just as perma
nent as the building skill of the times
through the use of brick, steel and
concrete will permit. It ought to
stand for R00 years at least. Further,
in keeping with Dr. Bessey's char
acter it will be attractive without os
tentation, built for permanence and
usefulness rather than show.
Uses of the Building
Aside from the sentiment connected
with its erection It will be a build
ing much needed by the University.
Botany and Zoology have never had
adequate quarters here. This will
house them in a way worthy of a
great University. While these depart
ments will have considerably more
space than they have at present, we
are not building large enough to care
