 bold gothic type, with two square towers facing the east. It contains 

 eight large dressing rooms with showers and lavatories attached, and 

 will accommodate 2,000 men. The gymnasium hall is 75 feet by 108 

 feet, with overhead running track.

The Washington University Club, on the corner of Twenty-ninth 

 and Locust Streets, is a splendidly appointed club-house belonging to 

 the university and managed by a committee composed of the dean, one 

 alumnus and one student of each department. Membership is open 

 to all officers, to all male professors and instructors of the university, 

 and to all male students and graduates of the college, the schools of 

 engineering and law and the medical and dental departments. The 

 building is admirably constructed and contains dining-rooms, library, 

 smoking and reading-rooms, billiard-room and bowling alleys. The 

 dues are only $5.00 a year, and meals are furnished to students at 

 $3.50 a week. The club has proved of great value in the social life of 

 the university, by bringing together on a common ground the students 

 of all departments, so keeping all the students in touch and helping to 

 create a true university spirit. 



With a large and productive endowment, with an efficient faculty, 

 with' buildings that will compare favorably with any in the country 

 and with a large enrollment of students in all departments the future 

 growth and usefulness of the university seem to be assured.
