...track is progressing finely and we are promised the 'best track in America." This is capital, but with our new track we must have a grand stand suitable to it. According to the plans and specifications approved by the athletic committee of the faculty and shown, by the kindness of Prof. Norton, to a representative body of students and athletes last spring, such a grand stand would cost about $10,000. Enough money was raised before the summer vacation to level the field and to build the track and have perhaps $1000 to $2000 over. Now at least $8000 must...

Besides all this the association should...
