Work in erecting the new stands will not begin until after the Oxford-Cambridge-Harvard-Yale track meet on Soldiers Field in July. It is expected that the steel girders and other materials used in the construction of the stands, will be factory-made and that the putting together of the individual parts will not occupy much time. Should an earlier start be necessary, however, Mr. Bingham feels that it can be undertaken without interfering with the track meet...
Plans for the new structure are not yet far advanced as to details, except that there will be a tunnel through which the track straightaway will run. Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott, the University architects, will draw the plans for the new stands which will accommodate about the same number as the old wooden structure. Though no exact figures are available as to the cost of this improvement on Soldiers Field, it is understood that the sum will be in the vicinity of $175,000. When completed, the stands will be left in position permanently, or until such a time...

These seats are permanent inasmuch as they will remain intact as long as the Stadium itself is in a serviceable state of repair. At the end of that time, however, they may prove further usefulness by accommodating spectators at baseball games. But as long as they remain an integral part of the Stadium...

Last year, the football team made a gross income of $773, 698.93, a net profit of $476,88.12. greatest in the University's history. All other sports showed losses. Track cost more than $20,000, basketball $12,000, baseball $10,000. As President Little desired, the football money is being spent to pay for the new football stadium, for a women's athletic building, for the Intramural Sports building, for the Michigan hockey rink, for the golf course...
