Campos for I'nlrerslty.
Governor Cummins and Stat Superln
tendent R. C. Barrett, ex-ofnelo members
of the Board of Regents of the State unl
verslty, have returned from Iowa City,
where they attended the meeting yesterday.
Superintendent Barrett was much elated
with the plans revealed at the meeting as
to tho future of the university in the way
of securing a campus adapted to the growth
of the school. Briefly stated, this consists
of securing all ths grounds between the
main buildings and the river, damming the
latter and parking both side.
The main building of the university is
about eighty rods from the river and the
regents already have holdings of several
lots between those points. There is an in
cllne of about seventy-lire feet between the
buildings and the river and it is planned to
terrace this with a broad boulevard ex
tending through. This ground now la well
built up, but the buildings are not of a
substantial character and It is believed can
be had at reasonable rates. The board yes
terday took action by instructing the ex
ecutlve committee to get options on the
premiers.
It has developed that it waa th reveal
Ing of these plans that caused the death of
the rumors at the last session of the leg
is la tur tbst the university .would eventu
ally be forced to move beyond the corner
, ate limits of the city for the location of ail
buildings erected In' the future. The plsa
as now stated 1 regarded as Ideal by all
woo have seen the plat prepared.
So far aa the new medical buildings are
concerned It is practically decided that
these will be built In the rear of the main
buildings on the block and one-half donated
by the city and on which the hospital
Duuainga are now situated. It Is consld
ered desirable that the medical building
and the hospital be In proximity to each
other. Instead of one large building the
indications are that three will be erected,
me total cost being about $125,000. Plan
will bo made by the building committee sc
cordlngly. The chemical and dissecting de
psnmenis win De in one and the other de
partment distributed between the other
two. Thla Is in accordance with the modern
idea or what a college of medicine ahnnM
be. The committee In charge consists of

Visit State Institutions.
Chairman Cownl and Judge Kinae. the
oiner memner of th State Board of Con
trol, visited all of the state Institutions
witnin th last fortnight. They devoted
some time to the purchase of the new land
authorized by the state legislature at th
last session. They were only able te make
contracts at Davenport and Clarinda. At
Olenwood aad Mount Pleasant It was found
mat tne owner of land near the InstHu
lions had taken advantage of th time In
tervening between the public announce
ment of the authority to purchase given
me ooara py the legislature, with the re
suit that prices hsvs been raised. The
members of the bosrd state they will not
anew tne state to be bled and that the own
en will come to their prices or keep their
lend. Inasmuch ss It is not necessary for
the land to be adjacent to th farm, it I
oeuevea th state ran get reasonabi
prices.
Contracts wer entered into for eighty
acre of land at Davenport, making a total
of 262 acres at that place. Land was also
purchased at Clarlada. On hundred acre
were bought at $75 and 206 and a fraction
over at $96 aa acre. This will make a
farm at that .institution of a fraction over
858 acres, as the farm originally consisted
or 661H seres.
The high standard of perfection of ststs
schools for th deaf and dumb and th fee
ble minded attained under the Board of
Control system Is having a serious draw
back. 6 great a reputation for proficiency
has been mad that' eastern schools ar
coming to Iowa in search of teschers and
offering greater salaries than ths stat au
thorizes th board to pay. Considerable
difficulty has been had in holding many of
the best teachers, three having departed
for the east in the last year.
While the board was. at Council Bluffs
President Gallandet of the Gallandet Col
lego for the Deaf at Washington, which Is
recognized as the foremost college of Its
kind in ths country, was there. After In
vestigating th Iowa school thoroughly
Prof. Gallandet pronounced it on ef th
