New Building. Early in the year five new building were ready for occupancy and this Increaaed the room apace o that the university ran accommodate the Increased number of atudent. The new bulldlnga are: the William M. Stewart Memorial building, which houne the training school; the medical building which makes It possible to have the entire medical achool In one building; the metallurgical building which la used by the mining school nd the If. 8. bureau of mine; the dining hall which gives ample room for excellent cafeteria service three meals a day; and the greenhouse which le used for early cultivation of plants. As the training school moved to the new building, another building was made available for collegiate work proper. The old training school building was renamed the Industrial education building and houses the achool of commerce and ftnande and the department of domestic art and science. Both of these are growing schools and eventually will occupy buildings inby themselves if their growth creases at the rate shown In the past few years. Preventive Medicine.
