A t the last m eeting of the B oard of
R egents, forty acres of land was p u r­
chased and added to the cam pus of the
U niversity. T h is m ore th an doubles
the original size of the cam pus. T h ir­
ty four acres of the new ly acquired
land is located on the west side of the
car line along U n iv ersity A venue. It
is know n as the G ross A ddition, is all
high, sightly land and im m ediately a d ­
joins the cam pus on the south. K in ­
caid Field, the scene of so m any foot­
ball and track victories' was also p u r­
chased. \\ hen this is needed for b u ild ­

the last-nam ed lots was absolutely e s­

A Big Brass Band.
( bice m ore a m ovem ent is on foot
for the establishm ent of a U niversity

and every year an a tte m p t has been
m ade to establish one. T h is y ear the
dem and is stro n g e r than ever, and
those in terested are confident of su c­
cess. It is claim ed th a t th ere is a b u n ­
dant talen t in the U n iv ersity for a
tw en ty piece brass band.
Such an
