Friday, April 4, 1941 DAILY NEBRASKAN Bancroft may house engineering units . . . 0 ' .; ! V t 4 IV, 0 . srif rr '2 i tinmen Shown above are pictures of liancroft school at 14th and Vine streets which has been the topic of discussion before the appropriations committee of tlic legislature. The board of repents have appeared before the group and presented a plan to purchase the unit to house parts of the cngineeiiny: college. To purchase the school, which is across the street from the north mall, the regents are requesting the legislature to appropriate $75,000 now in the testing fund. This surplus arose thru fees received for testing work done by the engineering college. The property worth $281,000 according to R. W Devoe, president of the board of re Rents, could be purchased for $77,000 from the Lincoln school board. If this request is granted, the school will be remodeled for the use of the engineering college. Directly above is a picture made from the east entrance to Morrill and shows the prox imity of the school to the campus. The picture to the right above shows the steps which lead from the school to the coliseum. At right, by contrast, is shown the facilities engineering stu dents are now offered. It is the drive behind U hall and shows the crumbling foundation of the electrical engineering building and in the background the mechanical arts annex. w 1!
