1904.] OF THE SENATE. 45
In order to remedy this defect and get the full ad-
vantage from the Morrill fund the last General As-

which will permit the accomodation of double the
number of students and thereby double the usefulness
of the most important department of the college. The
amount now available for this building is insufficient
and an appropriation should be made to complete the
building according to the plans proposed.
OTHER COLLEGES.
It is encouraging to note the increased patronage of

are severely taxed to find suitable accommodations for
all who are anxious to take advantage of its opportu-

most excellent work, and its success is gratifying.
