Extracts front Letters '97 Music School: The Music School requires either an entirely new building, or an addition to the Auditorium large enough to provide space for an administrative office, together with studies and rest rooms for the faculty; recital halls of various seating capacities; eight rooms each for piano and voice; three rooms each for stringed and band instruments; three rooms of approximately 5°° square feet each for the theory department, and a room large enough to accommodate one hundred people for the teaching of public school methods. Library: The Senate Library committee report calls for a central library building, with stack capacity for one million volumes, and additional reading room space, etc., as itemized in the report enclosed herewith. College of Science: Dr. Noyes is of the opinion that so far as the department of Chemistry is concerned, the present building can be enlarged to the east so as to provide room for double the number of students now enrolled.

He thinks a glass house 7500 square feet in area would be desirable for vegetable physiology and plant pathology—this to be close to the laboratory. He also suggests a garden of two or three acres for growing plants to be used in the laboratory, but would like a much larger area so that ornamental features could be added. The present Forestry should be preserved and in addition, two or three tracts of one hundred acres each ac quired, variously located in the state.
