UNIVERSITY, OF I L L I N O I S .

[April 18,

Since my statement to you December 11, 1899, work has been carried forward as rapidly as the weather permitted, the work being done with the temperature below twenty degrees. Bad weather interfered with the work very much during February. At the present time the walls of D and C buildings are well advanced and workmen are setting the cornice on D. The walls of A building are up to the level of the window sills or top of stone die course. The cut stone work, with the exception of the ashlars of areas, is practically complete. Material is on the ground and with good weather, work should move rapidly from this time on. , Below I hand you statements on which the last certificates were based:
