The building proposed Is to be two stories and will be large enough to fully accommodate tho weather bureau In Macor^and tho department which Is fo be added to the University. This will csrry with tt the necessity of erecting a building which will have lecture room and laboratory. A choice spot on the campus naai the Y. M. C.
