WHY DOES THE (Continued from page one) NALISM is the newest in the Uni versity and has had to find a place for itself in a plant that was already crowded before the department was created. It is one of those that is destined to be moved to the new building when the latter is com pleted. At present the department’s offices and class room are in the baseemnt of McClure Hall, one open ing into another, and when the main class room is in use. the occupants of the offices have to climb in and out through the windows. Aside from the lack of space, the installa tion of a noisy printing plant is im possible at present because the jour nalism quarters are under the large lecture rooms of the chemistry and psychology departments, and quiet is essential. In the new location, it, would be possible to arrange that any machinery installed would not interfere with lecture work. In Dressing Rooms. THE DEAN OF WOMEN has to use for her office the little dressing room at one side of the platform in the main auditorium of Villard Hall. THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SPEAKING AND DEBATE is crowd ed into the corresponding dressing room at the other side of the plat form. Library Also Crowded. THE LIBRARY furnishes probably the only instance in the country where students stand in line for a chance to sit down to study. This Is not a daily occurrence, but can be seen frequently towards the end of semesters when students are review ing their work preparatory to ex aminations. At all times the LIBRA RY is at least well filled. THE GYMNASIUM is one of the most creditable in the Northwest, but the WOMEN’S GYMNASIUM is far too small for the proper exercise of the students and for the physical examinations which are a part of the duties of the women’s physical di rector. Im to Double Up. THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOL OGY still occupies room No. 3, Vil lard Hall, In which Professor Condon used to teach. In this room, 30x50 feet, the famous Condon cabinet is stored and all ttf# Work of the Geol ogy Department is done. The mu seum contains not only the very val uable material collected by Prof. Condon, but specimens from many other sources, which have been add . ed from time to time, and all of which would be a total loss in case of fire. As it stands at present the collection is very much crowded and no specimen can be well displayed, though something over half the floor j space is occupied. Last year one of the clases meeting in this room, con sisted of over SO students and this year it has been found necessary to move the class to the general assem bly hall. The ■work of the depart ment '•onaists of teaching by lectures and laboratory methods, such sub jects as Geology. Physiography, Pe trology, Mineralogy, etc. The urg ent needs of this department are: A fireproof museum room at least 30x 50 feet for the safe housing and dis play of the geological collections now on handr a lecture room at least 30x50 feet; a mineralogy laboratory at least 20x30 feet a petrography lab oratory at least 20x30 feet and one or 2 office rooms.—A. J. Collier, pro fessor; (3. J. Mitchell, instructor. Experiments Held Back. THE DEPARTMENT OP PHY SICS has room for only a moderate amount of equipment of apparatus with which it has been able to meet the needs of comparatively small classes in work of comparatively ele mentary grade. For this work it has, as it ought, undoubtedly the best equipment in the state. The space at its disposal is entirely inadequate, to meet immediate needs, however, and ought to be two or three timee as great. There is no place where delicate apparatus set up for advanced experimental work may be safely left from one period of work to the next. The increase in the number of students demands a con tinual increase in the amount of space and the development of ad vanced work is already calling for more room for experiments.—W. P. BOYNTON, professor. Labs Overcrowded. THE CIVIL ENGINEERING DE PARTMENT needs more room and more equipment in its laboratories. The cement and concrete laboratory can comfortably accommodate only about half the number of men at present enrolled in the class, and during the last semester the main lpboratory, devoted to testing the strength of materials, was eqvally overcrowded. The laboratories were ample at the time they were built, but the fact that the University has been pre vented from erecting new buildings for several years has made a grow ing difficulty in the matter of over crowding. Additional equipment is needed in both the laboratories men tioned and in hydraulics, but not much equipment can be bought until room is provided where it can be used.—E. H. McAL'STER, professor. Class Rooms Too Small. IN THE DEPARTMENT OF PSY CHOLOGY the burden of overwork has been relieved by the addition of Dr. Dellenbach to the teaching force. The lecture room is too small, how ever, 83 in one division must occupy a room designed for 40. Teacuers iu the department are obliged to give up their offices for laboratory purposes and more room is badly needed for laboratory work. The laboratory j also needs a dark room. The labora tory is at present located in the chemistry building and is conse quently seriously hampered by the disturbance from pumps, and by the ! odors from the chemical laboratory, j Considerable apparatus for labora tory and demonstrational purposes is needed.—EDMUND C. CONKLIN, professor. Space Is Lacking. THE DEPARTMENTS OF THE CLASSICS is hampered in its work! by the need of opportunity to dis- j play lantern slides and photographs. ! A well-equipped department should ; have at least several thousand slides | and pictures, illustrative of ancient times and ancient institutions. Ro- ; man and Greek coins should be available, also maps, charts, photo-; graphic reproductions of classic; manuscripts, complete sets of the classic libraries, replicas of antique statuary, at least a few “first edi tions,” and some “squeeses” of an cient inscriptions.—F.

Dr. F. G. G. Schmidt, head of the lepartment of Germanic languages, tas the following to say about the •ondition in his department: "The classes in this department ire inconvenienced considerably on iccount of the overcrowded condi ions at present. The students <re neing moved from room to room to cee>p the classes going. As soon as he temporary building is completed ve will be given the use of rooms in the basement of Deady Hall, but even itthe best, these quarters will be in adequate to handle the large classes, rhe ventilation and lighting facili ties are poor and need immediate at tention.
