engineering to messrs wm h gangewere and m t j ochs of allentown who will commence work on the structure at once the experience from the burning of the physical laboratory a couple of years ago dictated that the new building should be as proof against fire as possible consistent with cost and to this end it will be of mill or slow burning construction throughout while all stairways will be of iron and slate all partitions will be fire proof an efficient sys tem of fire mains with hose reels will extend throughout the build ing and furnish ample water for fire fighting in case of emergency two fire escapes are provided in addi tion to the iron stairways the plans call for a structure of 186 feet front and 70 feet in depth covering a ground area of about twelve thousand square

of stone in ce ment and the superstructure of con crete and brick a great deal of molded brick will be used on the exterior and the imposing entrance will be further set off by richly carved stonework

college year the board wishes to make a few an nouncements in another part of the paper will be found the prizes offered for literary and artistic work the competition for which is open to all lehigh students and it is earnestly hoped that every man who has any talent at all along these lines will respond to this appeal it is the desire of the board to make the literary portion of the book es pecially strong and to do this it will be necessary to have a large amount and wide variety of material from which to select undoubtedly there are plenty of men in college who possess either literary or artis tic ability and it is the duty of these men to contribute something to the annual and thereby make it repre sent the work of the entire college the prizes will be awarded fairly and justly the merit of the work submitted being the sole considera tion it is preferable that all literary articles should be as in previous years of a humorous nature either in poetry or prose drawings should be from two to three times as large as the repro ductions and all lettering should be symmetrical and neat any contri butors desiring any advice or more complete directions see talley or bernstein 04 who will furnish all the assistance in their power articles can be given to any member of the board or placed in the gag box in the east entrance of packer hall to receive consideration in adjudging awards all material must be in not later than february 11 the an nouncement is made at this early date in t order to give every one ample time in which to work and so that there need be no delay in hand ing in promptly all articles or sketches this year the gag box in packer hall will be made use of and the students are asked to write on a slip of paper and drop into the box all roasts college jokes — in brief everything that comes under the term gags this is another fea ture of the book for the success of which the board must rely upon the college it will be very little trouble for the students to hand in all continued on second page notice at the last meeting of the brown and white board it was decided to make a reduction of 50 cents in the subscription price of the brown and white
