Work on three more academic build­ ings with an estimated cost of $2,225,- 000 was started on the campus late in September. Completion of the three pro­ jects, physics, electrical engineering, and agricultural engineering, will do much to alleviate existing shortages of class­ room and laboratory space. Ground was broken September 17 for the new physics buliding, largest of the three. Costing an estimated $1,000,000, it will be two stories high with base­ ment, and will contain 1,000,000 cubic feet of space. It is to be located immedi­ ately east of the anatomy building in the eastern section of the main campus.
