tories for Home Economics, Biology, and Chemistry with the lecture room, store rooms, dark rooms, etc. The attic is used for games, lunches, and social activities incident to the school. Space is provided on the north of the building for a wing similar to that facing on University Avenue. This completes the number of University buildings of large size occupied during the last biennium. In addition to these are a number of small buildings for the College of Agriculture, including a laboratory for the production of hog cholera serum, constructed at a cost of $2,083.00; two Hog Barns for Experimental Work, at $5,085.00; a Plant Pathology Greenhouse adjacent to the Horticultural Greenhouse, at $1,649.00; a fireproof Book Room adjacent to Agricultural Hall, at $4,444.00. Also Agricultural Station Buildings in various parts of the state as follows: There were constructed also two buildings in the Service Department consisting of the Electric Sub-station in the Central Heating Station, costing $927.00; the Central Kitchen adjacent to Chadbourne, Barnard, and Lathrop Halls, costing $10,975.00, from which the dining rooms in these halls are supplied with cooked food. The northwest wing of the State Historical Library was put under construction in July, 1912, and occupied in September, 1914. The dimensions of this building are 66 feet by 56 feet. It consists of a basement and six tiers of book stacks, above which is a museum. The building has a floor area of 20,000 square feet. The cost was about $65,000, or 23c per cubic foot, exclusive of book shelves, electric lighting, stairs, elevators, etc. The building is faced with Bedford stone and constructed with steel beams and tile floors in the most approved fireproof manner. The architectural treatment corresponds with the general style of the present building. In the design and construction of buildings undertaken during the past two years, the intention of the general design has been studiously followed especially as regards architectural treatment and the materials of construction. Buildings located on the eastern portion of the University grounds have been faced with Madison stone and made to harmonize with the rather free Italian style of the existing buildings, and at the same time have been given such variety as desirable. In buildings located further west, the same color scheme and architectural design has been conserved at somewhat lower cost by the use of buff vitreous brick with stone trimmings. In the Agricultural Department brown brick and Bedford stone have been adopted as fulfilling all aesthetic requirements in a harmonious and economical way. In the construction of these buildings due regard has been given to wise expenditure of money without sacrificing durability or fireproof character. In interior finishing and fittings the use of wood has been steadily diminished in favor of more durable and less expensive materials so that at present the buildings represent a practical minimum as to cost. This has been demonstrated in the contract prices of the several buildings where substantial value has been secured without increase of expense and that in the face of an increase in the price of labor and materials throughout the country. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR PEABODY, Architect. APPENDIX À The Attendance at The University of Wisconsin 1.

These courses are so interwoven with the other courses of the College of Letters and Science that they cannot well be separated. 2 This apparent decrease in the number of music students is due to a different method of classification. 3 Not included in the totals. 4 This large number is due to the fact that many persons who were present at the summer session were also present in the regular sessions of the University. 2.

This requirement, however, applies only to the University fellows; consequently the above enumeration does not include the fellows provided for by private generosity. 6 Lecturers give part time service and are classified separately for the first time in 1912-13. 7 Assistants average half time.
