BUILDINGS.

The University building is a beautiful structure that would honor any institution or city in the United States. It faces the west, and is about 150 feet in length and fifty feet in breadth, having three stories above the basement. The material used in its construction is native sandstone. The rooms, twenty-eight in number, as well as all the corridors, are heated by steam and lighted by electricity. Water is supplied from the city mains, and there is a standpipe running from the basement through the roof, with hose attached on all the floors, for protection against fire. The auditorium in the second story is the finest assembly hall in the state, and will seat with comfort 500 people.

The University Club House and Military Hall is a beautiful building located on University Avenue, and will be the headquarters of the Military School and its Armory, and furnish a home for some twenty-five young men.

MUSEUM.

The Museum is now being fitted up with beautiful cases in which John D. Conley, Professor of Geology in the University, is placing his choice private collection of fossils, minerals, and Indian and Mound-builders' relics,the result of over twenty years collecting.

While Wyoming is one of the richest regions in the world for mesozoic fossils, a region from which Professors Marsh, Cope, and others have taken fragmentary remains of many gigantic saurians and other fossils, yet in order to make the geological story comprehensive, including the ancient as well as the medieval and recent history, more than Wyoming fossils are necessary. Thus the private collection of Professor Conley prepares the way for the later history revealed in the Wyoming fossils.

This private collection has been pronounced one of the

best working cabinets in the West, having enough of the typical fossils of each geological age and epoch to awaken an interest and stimulate enthusiasm in the student.

There is a fine case set apart for donations of specimens to the University. Each article will contain a label, giving the name of the specimen and the donor.

A book will also be kept, containing the names of donors and the specimens presented.
