A great deal has been done through the aid of the Works Prog-
ress Administration.  Many of the buildings have been painted in-
side and out, the University furnishing the materials and the
Works Progress Administration furnishing the labor.  There are
now buildings that have grown dingy--and are not attractive to
students--there are probably not more than half a dozen.  McVey
Hall has never been decorated.  It should be painted inside at
an early date.   The roof on the building which houses the Depart-
ment of Buildings and Grounds has been patched and repatched, and
has now reached such a state that it will have to i replaced.
This is particularly true of the part of the building used as an
annex to the gymnasium _- water on the playing floors makes it
especially dangerous to students using this gymnasium.

     Much has been done in the care of trees and shrubs and in
the care of lawns,the development of walks and roads.   For sev-
eral years this work has been in the care of a committee composed
of Mr. M. J. Crutcher, Professor N. R. Elliott, and Professor
D. V. Terrell.  The work of the committee has been largely con-
cerned in developing a plan for the future, and to systematize
the work on the campus.  The committee has prepared a plan for
walks and roadways, and in my opinion, this plan should be followed
under the general direction of the committee.   Some attempts have
been urged to take care of the trees, many of which are now reach-
ing a dotage stage.   There is need for the removal of some of
them and the planting of new ones.   The University might well use
several thousand dollars in carrying out this plan, but has been
unable to do so, due to the need for funds elsewhere.   New build-
ings should have planting around about them, if they are to ave
a proper setting.   It should be said at this juncture that the
Works Progress Administration has been of the greatest assistance.
I doubt if what has been done in the last five years with its help
could have been done with the ordinary procedure in less than
twenty years.

     The University has a fairly good equipment, taking the campus
as a whole.   The College of Engineering has been rejuvenated, and
looks like a different place with the new equipment that has been
secured.  The Department of Physics now occupies the building it
formerly shared with the Department of Civil Engineering, and has
fairly satisfactory equipment.   In Kastle Hall, where the Chem-
istry Department is located, a number of things have been done,
yet that building should have additional money for the reorganiza-
tion of and painting.   The School of Education is asking for an
enlargement of its basement for recreation space for children in
the elementary and high schools during rainy and cold weather.

     The Experiment Station is now housed in a building that was
extended several years ago, through the agency of the Works Prog-
ress Administration.   The equipment there is on the whole, ade-
quate.   The farm has been well cared for, the buildings painted
and kept in good condition, yet the farm needs a large modern
dairy building.   Satisfactory work can no longer be carried on
in the old structure that has done service for a third of a cen-
tury.
