BUIIiDINGS. 



New buildings have been completed and appropriately dedicated 

 by a number of the agricultural colleges. xVt Tuskegee Institute a 

 new agricultural building, Millbank Hall (Fl. XII, fig. 1), has been 

 completed. This is a gift from Mrs. Elizabeth M. Anderson, of 

 New York City, and was dedicated February 23, 1910. 



The departments of zoology and entomology at the Massachusetts 

 Agricultural College now occupy a new $80,000 fireproof laboratory 

 building (PI. XII, fig. 2). 



The New Mexico college has recently erected quite a number of 

 new buildings, among them an administration building, which, to- 

 gether with a group of farmers who visited the college on " demon- 

 stration day," is shown in Flate XIII, figure 1, an agricultural build- 

 ing known as Wilson Hall (PL XIII, fig. 2), a boys' dormitory 

 (Fl. XV, fig. 1), and a Y. M. C. A. building (Fl. XIV, fig. 2) 



At the North Dakota college two new buildings have been com- 

 pleted, a home-economics building known as Ceres Hall (Fl. XV, 

 fig. 1), and a veterinary building (Fl. XV, fig. 2). The latter is so 

 constructed as to form essentially three separate structures, the dis- 

 secting room and the hospital being connected with the main portion 

 by inclosing corridors. The interiors are very largely of metal and 

 concrete, and the dissecting room is so arranged as to admit light 

 from all directions. A special feature is the killing room, which is 

 equipped with all the appliances of a modem slaughterhouse. 



The Indiana college has completed a farm-mechanics building, a 

 brick structure, stone trimmed, 70 by 130 feet. It contains two 

 laboratories each 57 feet square, one of which will be used for heavy 

 machinery and the other for light machinery. There are also two 

 large classrooms, a drafting room, offices, a cement laboratory, tool 

 and supply rooms, and miscellaneous laboratories. 



A new agricultural building for the Oregon college and a build- 

 ing for civil and irrigation engineering at the Colorado college are 

 in process of construction.
