SCHOOL OF D E S I G N . Total for two years For green house and botany laboratory senate The success thus far attending our efforts to introduce industrial drawing and designing, induces me to ask that this department of our work be ranked as a district school, under the title of the " school of design," and that a separate course of studies for such school, be prepared and published in the next catalogue. There are now two teachers whose time is given to studies properly belonging to this school, Mr. Roos, the teacher of industrial drawing and designing, and Mr. Kenis, the teacher of clay modeling and architectural ornamentation. A large number of students are taking these studies, and the progress made is full of promise for the future. The public utility of this work can only be understood by those who have been led to consider the great importance given to drawing and designing, in the highest manufactories of Europe and America. T H E DORMITORY BUILDING. The chief dormitory building has been a source of much solicitude from the difficulty of securing the proper supervision over a building occupied by so large a number of young men alone. I wish to suggest the propriety of securing, if possible, a suitable family to take charge of the building, and perhaps to be allowed to provide board for such as may wish it. If the proper parties can be obtained, the building would be rendered much safer, as well as more home like and comfortable, and with no more expense than at present except, perhaps, some refitting of rooms for the family.
