Twenty-five hundred days work
has been pledged by the young men
students of OAC on a new armory
or drill shed, in case the board of

"talk," but as is well known the ar
mory now inuae had long been too
small to meet the requirements, the
college having experienced such re
markable growth ainoe the struc
ture was planned and erected.

in the air it is learned that the new
armerv will haye 33000 square feet
of floor space, with regimental and
battalion rooms, company store
roems'and various other rooms that
are needed in such a building. While
it is, aa first stated, only a talked
of building, there is hope that it
may become a reality and that the
young men students may have th
pleasure of working out their
pledges of time and energy.

successful sooial affair given in col

credit is due those who planned it.
