This bulletin for the year ending June 30, 1918, contains a list of 45 educational institutions, giving the value of the buildings, regular enroll ment and the approximate value of buildings per student. While Oregon was placed second to last on the av erage value of buildings per student, at the same time only 21 had a larger regular enrollment Oregon Value Small The average value of buildings per student at Oregon was $411, with a building valuation' of $530,609 and an enrollment of 1296. The University of Arizona, in comparison, has a build ing valuation of $653,500 and an en rollment of 477, an average pey stu dent of $1,370*; Delaware College with buildings valued at $819,000 and an enrollment of 336, an average of $2, 435 per student; Michigan Agricul tural College with buildings valued $1,239,650 and an enrollment of 1,140, an average of $1,080 per student; and the University of Virginia with build ing valued $1,504,189 and an enroll ment of 780, an average of $1,925 per student. These figures, picked at ran dom, are from institutions at various parts of the country. The average from the 45 colleges was found to be $994 per student. Rooms Much Needed In showing the need of additional classrooms, Dr. James H. Gilbert speaking in assembly Thursday, stated that if a classroom is occupied 40 per cent of the week, it is occupied the average length of time in most uni versities. Oregon uses her classrooms ^ 70.6* per cent of the time. The aver age amount of floor space required by other universities is 300 square feet per student. Oregon has a little more than half the required amount, with a floor space of 176 square feet per student. Since the publication of the bulletin in 1918, there has been practically no expenditures for buildings on the Ore gon campus. Three small additions have been made to the campus, a ‘ print shop annex to McClure hall, an addition to the men’s gymnasium, and a small building in connection with Friendly hall, all of which are wooden buildings, erected at an approximate cost of $6,000. High Schools Cost More Many public schools throughout the country represent a larger building cost than the buildings on the present campus. Lincoln high school in Port land was erected at a greater expense than the entire University of Oregon. Three more buildings are needed at: least, according to Dr. Gilbert, of the! Economics department. He mentioned a recitation building, a new science building and a new library, costing in all more than one million dollars, among the most pressing needs of the University.
