EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
Extracts from Letters 191 I am sending this to you at Washington, as I am sure you will be glad to see it. I have indicated on Green Street, between the two entrances to the campus, a site for possibly a monument to Doctor Gregory. This could take the form of either a statue or an exedra and would not involve serious expense. I will report this also to the meeting of the Trustees. It is not clear from your letter whether or not you want me to be there at Champaign. If you do, let me know as much ahead as you can. C H. B lac kail to President James January 4, 1906: . . . . I know the suggested treatment of grounds is radical, but the effects are radical also and I feel that a campus such as I have suggested, which would be far ahead of that possessed by any university I know of, is worth some pretty radical treatment. I had the curiosity to get some figures for moving the Main Building, by the way, and I find it could be moved to the new position for something in the neighborhood of twenty thousand dollars. Those are eastern figures and I should think Chicago contractors ought to do better than this. There would be not the slightest difficulty about moving it with perfect safety.
