has proven one of the most popular and
most democratic Innovations. An even

flocked to the last one.
Both the large and small gymnasiums

The large floor on the east end will be
used for dancing. In the chapel there
will be games, dramatic sketches and
moving pictures. No other university
parties are scheduled for this night, and
the "mixer" will be the means of cele

for the defeat.

Philadelphia, Boston and New York.
Mr. Baskerville plans to beat the record
.e establlnhed last year, when he raised

This sum would defray the running
expenses of the college for thre year
snd thus give htm opportunity to work
cn the endowment fund of IKn.OOO.
Twenty-five thousand dolar of this fund
was raised last year, 210,000 having been
contributed before.
The Presbyterian college board has
u greed to give 115,000, $10,000 of which
depends upon the college's raising the
first 1100,000 of the endowment, and $5,000
of which is contingent upon the second
t'OO.OH). Thus one-quarter of the fund
id already assured.
Since Mr., Baskerville assumed control
of the finances of Bellevue, the Ne
braska constituency, instead of furnish
ing only 15 per cent of the college's In
come, ha more than trebled, both In
the number of donors and In the amount
given. The total number of donor hai
Increased from iflo to 1.500. The tflB.OOO
ra'sed by the financial secretary last
year wa the largest amount raised In
any one year at Belevue since the found
ing of tha school In is. This sura con
sisted of 136.000 contributed to the endow
ment fund, 119,000 collected for current
expenses. 112.000 contributed to complete
the gymnasium and 29,000 In legacies.

Modernizing the Business of Building
The Scleirce of Building Constrnctlon bad, a 1U crnd
beginning, the effort of primitive man to provide & ehelter
from the elements. In cave hewn out of rock, or mud huta
olldtfled by friendly wind and sun.
From the cave and mud-hut dweller day, to thla, to
Indeed a far cry; for during the intervening ageg man's
needs have multiplied, and with hla growing needs, the
science of building, enriched by the architecture of the
many periods, has made wonderful progress from the primi
tive, to Its present phase of commercialism and usefulness.
While It would be exceedingly interesting for us to
trace for you the thoughts of men as they progressed
through the ages, as these thoughts are reflected In the
architecture of the various periods, it would prove of little
practical value to either of us, except to show that the
stream of modern .building thought runs in an entirely dif
ferent direction than ever before.
Now-a-days when people are about to build, they con
sider usefulness and economy flrst, and art second., for the
reason that a large number of economlo conditions compel
them to do so; notable among which are: the Increase tn
the world's population, the facilities for rapid Inter-com-municatlon
and travel, the expansion of commerce, the
growth of cities, the rise of capital, the birth or new In
dustrie, the needs of labor, and the Increasing tendencies
of men to congregate and live and to seek pleasure within
the radius of a few municipal miles.
These conditions, and intensive population In particu
lar, are continually driving up land values, and the higher
the land values become, the more complicated becomes the
problems of providing the kind of building Improvements
that will satisfactorily return a sufficient Inootne on the
money Invested in the land.
This brings us, face to face with the very flrst and very
most important consideration of every prospective build
er, namely the subject of 'Economy" in building construc
tion; and since the economy of building construction hi
dependant upon the efficiency of the building methods em
ployed you will readily understand that the many compli
cated problems of the modern day builder must be con
sidered as a whole, rather than In parts.
It Is a significant fact that, despite the modern tend
ency to centralise great industries, that not nntll recent
years baa there been any effectual attempt made to es
tablish in building construction some semblance of or
ganised control.
Chief among the many reasons for this condition. Is
that the Building Construction Business, taken as a whole,
calls for the services of men in eight or more professions,
for the workmanship of forty-six or more trades and for the
selection and purchase of hundreds of various materials
products and devices.
In spite of the fast that the building professions and
il. 'nd bu,ldln8 material people all, have more or less
allied interests, they are, nevertheless, too diverse to be
welded Into a whole; on the other hand If they are allowed
to operate Independently, each individual Is liable to per
form his individual part of the work without appreciating
its relation to the whole.

tTnLtT? '"buyer' of bulldin service fo ? better
and more business-like methods, that will eliminate th. il
efficiency and uncertainty of the older day system!
As a result of this demand on the part of the prospec
tive building owner, and the complaint of many who are
already building owners who have suffered gross injustices
at the hands of the old time system; and as a result of
efforts, here and there, on the part of those engaged In
the business of building to overcome the faults complained
of, there have sprung up In different parts of the country
during the last few years Institutions who are applying
modern business methods to the building business.
These methods are the product of organisations, espe
cially equipped to handle as many lines of work, as can be
handled, efficiently, direct. They are called "Modern Build
Ing Organisations. "
Most of the modern building organisations ot today,
which are doing business In various parts ot the country
are highly specialised groups of men who specialise In
the work of handling monster building operations In the
country's large cities.
The Bankers Realty Investment Company In building
up a "Modern" Building Orgsnlxatlen" has had to go a
step farther than this
Besides equipping Itself to handle the large and com
plicated building structure. It has provided a method that
will give to the much larger group of smaller building pur
chasers, the same class of efficient building service, as the
large building owner Is commencing to get: In other
words. This Company's "Modem Building Orgsnisstton"
has been especially equipped to handle the problems of
building construction here In Omaha and the Middle West
where w have tinder way, at the present time, various
building operations amounting to many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, ranging In price, per Individual contract,
from 1300,000.00 to $1,900.00; and where we have com
pleted hundreds of thousands ot dollars' worth of building
operations during the past few years.
However, the points of greatest Interest to the pros
pective builder are not so muoh what we have done, or
are doing for others, as what we can do for you; Indi
vidually. We have our own architectural department where you
will receive the Individual attention of men fitted by train

At the time of preparing your plsn the advisory serv

rart of the building operation, and you will have the sb sc
ut assurance of final cost, before work Is started, to
gether with a guarantse of a satisfactory building, bscksd
up by the kind of financial responsibility that meana some
thing. The Bankers Realty Investment Company, In provid
ing organisation that Includes the service of tbe Archi
tect, the Material Purchasing Department, the Building
Contractor, the Mill Owner, together with the eervices of
the Loan Institution, has succeeded In building up th
kind of an organisation, that Is generally admitted among
Architects and Building Contractors, to be necessary, it
the old time system of conducting building operations Is
to be made more businesslike, from the view point of the
Contractors and Architects; as well as more economical
and definite from the view point of the building owner.
On October 12 Mr. H. L. Lewman, president of the
National Association of Builders' Exchangee In an address
to the Omaha Builders' Exchange, gave voice to this senti
ment by urging upon the contractors the use ot a revised
contract form and detailed specifications adopted by the
American Institute of Architects and the National Asso
ciation of Builders Exchanges, which, h stated, were
more specific than formerly and which gives to the owner
the benefit ot less cost and provides against waste and de
lay. He spoke along the llnea of co-operation and organi
sation, and he told tbe contractors. In effect, that a build
ing was a combination ot so many different elements, that
It was only by each individual sub-contractor properly
arranging hla work, as It related to the whole, that satis
factory results were to be obtained for building owners
and contractors alike.
Thle Is, In sffect, an Indorsement of the object, which
this Comsny and other largs building orgsntxstions of Its
kind are seeking to attain, which object Is, the giving to
building owner the ssme opportunity to know whst he is
buying, whsn he Is buying building service, as when he'
buys any sUndsrd article of merchandise.
In other words Our Modem Building Method Is
Imply up-to-date business methods applisd to the bual
naea of building In which we recognise the customer's
right to choose; and to know definitely what he has to
pay, before h buys.
