...CRIMSON'S new building is not a plutocratic, but a practical project. The CRIMSON, as the University daily, has felt the need of expanding its quarters and its size, for some time, and it has decided to erect a permanent home for itself which will permit it to grow.

The report shows that the University in the past year has grown in many ways, and that the device carved on one of its gates, "Enter to Grow in Wisdom" is not an idle one, for increased opportunities for such growth are always being added.

The period, necessarily of considerable length, between the time when the old trees begin to die and the time when other trees of healthy maturity appear to replace them is reduced to a minimum as is the risk of failure...
