Conraittee of the University was appointed h:^ the President and charged with the responsihility for making recommendatioas concerning the construction of new "buildings j the remodeling and recondition- ing of present "buildings, the providing of adequate heating, lighting, power and water systems on the carajjuses in TJrh ana- Champaign and Chicago and the general improvement of these campuses^ During the past several months, the Committee has^ "been actively studying the present needs of the various Colleges, Schools and Departments and the probahle needs during the post-war period, as well as in the more distant future. It has heen provided with reports on this subject hy the "building committees or individuals representing the various administrative units. In order to provide the desired information and to "be reasona"bly uniform in character, these were prepared according to certain general speci- fications provided "by the Committee, The reports are included in this "In- ventory of Building and Related Needs" essentially as they were received. The committee or person under whose direction each was prepared is noted at the end of that report. The comments, opinions and recommendations included in these reports are made for the information and guidance of the Building Program Committee but are, in no sense, expressions of opinions or recommen- dations of the Committee, This inventory, supplemented by n-umerous conferences with those concerned, is for the use of the Committee as a basis of recommendations of projects to be undertaken during the post-war period. These recommendations are not included in this report but are to be submitted separately. ■■<■".'•; 0^ V XT'T; •O-'iVf :■■■:: ■i-.- .;.•■' 7 ^'V.^...;; ix.,'rrj;. xf VT^-; :.• j .•; Q'Onoral Introduction Sec, 1 — 2 It is expected, that the information included in this inventory will "be useful, for many years to come, in preparing recommendations for future "biennial "budgets, ITe'.v needs will develop and present ideas will chani=;e to suit chenginp conditions "but the fundamental program of the Uni- versity will continue. Consequently, "buildings axe "being so designed that they can "be adapted to new uses. The requests which have heen received are arranged in Sections according to Colleges and Schools, Certain projects which are general in character and provide for the use of all "branches of the University are grouped in one Section entitled "General University Projects", The order of arrangement of the Sections has no signif Icajice so far as relative -urgency or importance are concerned. Also, the arrangement of Projects within a Section has no "bearing on their importance or the construction priority which should "be assigned to then. Many of the Projects are interx'el-:/:ede The construction of a new "building called for in one Project might result in the vacation of space in a present "building v/hich could "be remodeled and reconditioned to provide for one or more other Projects, In other words, the total requirement for new space is considerably less than the sura of the space requirements of the in- dividual Projects, The members of the Building Prorram Committee appreciate the ex- cellent cooperation which has "been given them "by the "building committees of the various Colleges and Schools and by individuals within these organiza- tions. Their task has "been a difficult one and it is hoped that the final result of their studies will far more than justify their efforts.

DEP.\P.IIIMT LOAD Justification for the hospital additions rests chiefly uixDn the fact that present clinical teaching; facilities are inadequate for the larf"j student "body which the University now has in the Colloj-e of ItedicinSo Staiis- tical .justification of this conclusion appears in section II, Certain features of student enrollment do have a hearing on the need for hospital additions. At tho present tine the Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry have a capacity enrollment and would, therefore, he xmahle to accommodate an increased student "body after the v;ar. The College of Pharmacy now has approximately one-third the students it can accommodate and will,_ therefore, he cajjahle of absorhing the remaining two- thirds after the war. An increase of the student hody after the war would place upon the academic and clinical teaching facilities and upon the present staff a teach- ing load which neither of these is designed to carrj-. Since the College of Medicine is already the largest in the United States, it is our judgment that no great increase in student enrollment should he anticipated or provided for hy the University of Illinois, at least until adequate clinical hospital teaching facilities have heen provided for the present teaching requirements. Special emphasis should he given the fact that the hospital addi- tions are proposed primarily to improve the general services for medicine, ohstetrics and g;/necology, and pediatrics. It is recognized that the inte- grated teaching program should he strong in these four hasic departments. The present assignment of hospital heds leaves a relative deficiency for these ^ general services and gives a disproportionate allotment to certain specialtieso Genoral Hospital - -pago 2 See. 2 — 6 Correctin--; this discrepancy will f^ive a curriculun nore nearly in talance and stren^^then the "basic inte/^rated teaching facilities, II. PRESENT SPACE The present General Hospital, built in 1923 with six stories and hasenent, has a ^ross floor area of 191,000 square feet and a net f seahle floor area of l60,900 square feet, Tlie Iruildin^ is reinforced concrete frane, fireproof construction. In the twenty years of its life it has experienced the maxirnun of depreciation as well as functional ©"bsolescence. The program contemplates nodernization of the greater portion of the present space as well as the addition of new space. Special emphasis should he placed on the depreciation of the mechanical services. The condition of the pipin^:^ and electrical wiring is such that practical replacement of piping, conduit, duct work, valves, pumps, fans, cut-out hoxes, and all such related items will "be necessary to permit the present "building to continue as a functioning hospital and to "bring its services up to date. Such a prpgran of modernization is essential even without the addition of new sj^aceo The present hospital provides 2^0 hospital "beds. This, when added to the "beds availa"ble in other University-controlled hospitals and institutes, gives a total of 56? hospital "beds, or 1,6, for each third-and-fourth-year medical student. This figure is "below the average of 2,0 for the lowest ten medical schools listed in the American Medical Association report titled "Medical Education in the United States, 193^-1939'', When added to the 3,9 "beds per student availa"ble to the University for teaching in the affiliated hospitals, Cook County and Fres"byterian, this figure gives a total of 5,5 which is still "below the average of all schools covered in this report. The average of the ten highest schools listed in the report was 10,3, / f J > c^r I Grer.eral Hospitr.l - page 3 S®°" ^ — 7 The shortage of clinical teaching facilities is in a measure a reflection of the general conditionB in this area, Tho total of hospital beds available in tho several general public hospitals under Cook County administration is 3,U00. New York City with a population approximately twice that of Cook County has a total of 11,000 public hospital bedPo By comparison, Cook County should have 5t500 such beds imtead of the ;,U00 existing. Trom these statistics it can be seen that the clinical teaching facilities at the present time are well bolow standard, iTi. post--t;a:^ devi:t.,o?ment As implied in I and II, the program proposes to bring the University teaching facilities up to a le\-cl near or slightly above the standard for the coiintry. Changes in post-war teaching will be reflected in distribution of students among the three colleges and in chani^-es in teaching tech- niques made possible by adeqmte clinical facilities. An increase is anticipated in tho service staff, including nursing, dietary, and so forth, and in tho teaching staff as a resa].t of the additional hospital beds, IV. PHOPOSED HSW SCHEJ>W The proposed scheme adds a total of 210,000 square feet and 300 hospital beds and will cost an estimated $3,000,000.00, The building is to adjoin the east end of the present hospital and to be connected to the present building and to the present academic building, Tlie construc- tion will be fireproof with a concrete frame. It is the intent of the r General Hospital - page k Sec. 2 — 8 design to provide a building in which not only the requ."' i )d hospital servicos can bo given but in which it will r.lso bo possible to sot iip experimental conditions requiring special control of heat, ventilation, light, or other physical conditions for treatment and study. The concept is of a building which will be a teaching ard clinical research labo.c.tory as well as an efficient service hospital. In addition „o such provision for ail hospital space, certain space areas will be equipped with facili'- tios for an even greater range of temperature and pressure control. Th'j present out-patient space is inadequate and results in congestion and unsatisfactory teaching facilities in connection with treat- ment given ambulatory patients. The proposed additions will provide adequate space and permi': sati ^factory leaching -'.s well as some increase in service to out-patients. The proposed scheme permits centralization of laboratory and other adjunct services to give higher efficiency and better service, Tlie proposed scheme also p.-.-.TidCb an emergencjr surgery unit, facilities for atmospheric research, includ ng aviation medicine, improved physical medicine therapy and occupational therapy departments, improved radiology and improved food servico and adeq-uate biiilding ser- vice areas for the combined existing and proposed ►.^.meral hospital space. Ooiapletion of this project will bring the clinical teaching facilities of the University up to an acceptable f^tandard and will put the Chicago Colleges in a position to consider forward-looking plans for improvement.

SUl/iMARY 1. The Chicago Colleges of Dentistry, Medicine and Pharmacy do not anticipate large increases of enrollment in tho post-war period. The principal need is for provision of adequate clinical teaching facili- ties for the numher of students now enrolled and anticipated in the future, 2, The present clinical teaching space is inadequate in size and ohsolete.

EEPi^P.TI^NT LOAD The present program of Atmospheric Environmental Reseorch hrs demonstrated the opportunities which exist for research in this field. The present program is only a heginning, II, PRE3E17T SPAC3 The research experiments are now housed in a section of the General Hoepital, occupying approximately lJ-,500 square feet. A portion of this space has heen equipped with equipment for special atmospheric control needed for the research. An attempt to develop further research projects within the present hospital "building would result in a conflict "between the research and hospital fujictions. It has also heen necessary to encroach upon the mechanical service space of the hospital to provide equipment required "by the experiment. Further expansion of the mechani- cal units would also he difficult. Space limitations make imperative plans for housing Atmospheric Environmental Research in a separate space. III. POST-WAR rfSTE-LOPivENT It is anticipated that the development of air transportation in the post-war period will call for continued Atmospheric Environmental Research of the type already undertaken and extension of the program to other related fields. The over-all University program of teaching and research in aeronautics will center most of the iiiiportant "biological research phases of aviation medicine and related subjects in the Illinois Medical Center.

PROPOSED NEW SPACE It is proposed that special research projects he housed in a separate space as closely connected to the General Hospital as may he possible, [;,'he general plan for development will he better served if such research can be housed in a separate building but the desired relation of the research to hospital patients implies a relatively close physical condition. The huilding proposed will contain approximately 20,000 square feet of floor area and the project will cost an estimated $500,000,004 Special provision is to be made for control of temperature, pressure, air movement, humidity, air cleanliness, and probably other factors which will appear as the research progresses. Provision for special space for Atmos- pheric Environmental Research will free the section of the hospital now devoted to that project. The plans for the hospital additions presiime that this space will be available for hospital use. V. FUTURE DSVSLOPI^NT One of the factors which suggests most strongly the housing of Atmospheric Environmental Research in a separate building is the opportunity in such cases to plan for expansion in the distant future. Development of the present land around the Gteneral Hospital and proposed additions is of relatively high degree of land coverage. This, in turn, will make it more difficult to provide for future expansion than would ii?-2-- Atmos, Envir.

DEPARTIIEi^T LOAD The present power plant, "built in I925 and extended in 1937 and 19^1 1 provides steam for the present academic "building and for the Research and Educational Hospitals, It is oDvious that increase in size of the huildings in the Illinois Medical Center will at some point require an increase in power plant facilities, II. PHESSira SPACE Oonsideration has "been given to the possibility of inproving and expanding the present power plant. The size and condition of this plant arc such tliat additions and improvements would be difficiJ.t to make without loss of efficiency in layout and in operation. Its location relative to the future development of tho Illinois Medical Center also discourages development of the present building. Calculations show that the proposed hospital additions can be carried with the present plant provided new auxiliary services are in- stalled. If any other building project is undertahen, a new power plant will be needed. Ill, POST-WAR DE^/FlLOKvENT Increase of load as indicated under paragraph 1, lY.

Estimated cost of Power Plant <- page 2 Sec. 2 — I5 the entira project is $1,500,000.00. The location proposed is on the south side of Taylor Street, east of Hermitage and west of the Elevated, This location was selected to free the central section of the proposed campus for academic and hos- pital huildinss and to permit securing coal "by rail if arrangements can "bo made with the Elevated for doing so.

DEPARTMENT LOAD Tlie "building plan for this project is to house the three re- lated groups named in the title. Of these, the library is the only- group on which data covering operations at the University are available. Data for the Museum and Auditorium use are, therefore, being calc\ilated from standards which are available, Grreat progress has been evident in the use of visijal materials as educational aids in the past decade. Experience which we are now gaining in the armed services will acctierate the growth of visual edu- cation and it will result in post-war requirements for visual aids beyond anything we have had or now anticipate. The need for this building, therefore, results from a known growth in the Library portion and a practically certain increase in the need for the Museum and Auditori-um facilities. All three facilities are to be coordinated, both physically and administratively, so far as their effective functioning will permit. II. PRESEIJT SPACE 1, Library : The present library contains 80,000 volumes and occupies 17,500 square feet of floor area. This area is located at one point on the basement and first floors of the Dental, Medical, and Phar- macy building. It serves a total reading group of approximately 2,000, including 1200 students and 800 staff members. '-> .. • ■ . . Li"b, , Mus,, & Aud. - page 2 Soc, 2 — 17 Tho central location of tho library represents a real advantago. Limitations of construction and function prevent adoqu'ito expansion of tho library service within tho present building. Hie expansion which has been witnessed tlirough the past ten years has already resulted in a spreading of the library service which not only causes inefficient lib- rary operation but represents an encroachment upon the space designed for other use. An actua]. physical 1-mitation v/as reached in 19^0 beyond which expansion in the present space is iinpossible, 2, Museum ? Tne University possesses a considerable volume of display material which cannot well be combined with the library nia-' terial. This is in the form of drawings, models, wet sections, micro- scopic sections, photographs, and micro-films. At the present time, it is displayed at two rooms in the D,Ivi,P. Euilding and installed in a few corridor display cases. Material is also being used in certain hos- pital units including obstetrics in which the cabinet displays are simply placed in the hospital corridors. This gives tho desired closeness to the clinical teaching material but produces an undesirable physical con- dition since the corridors v;ere not designed for this use, A liberal estimate of the present floor space devoted to museum use is U,300 square feet. It is proposed that the museums now existing be continued at least until it has beon demonstrated that they no lon^-er serve a useful purpose and that the new Visual Education Building be designed to take care of a very much greater number of exliibits which the University poss- esses or which are available to the University but for which no display space now exists. Housing the exhibits in the Visual Education Building Lib., Mus, , & Aud. - p.age 3 Sec. 2 — 18 will free a certain rjnount of stora^-e space in the propent 'buildingB and it may evontiially release some of the present mv.sotim space, 3. A-udi t ori-u;n : The University now possesses six lecture rooms with a total floor area of 10,200 sq-oare feet and a total niJinber of 957 seats. Available in the Illinois He-oropsychiatric Institute and in the Institute for Juvenile Research are two additional lecture rooms with a total floor area of 2,^00 sqi:iare feet and a total n-omber of 175 seats. This gives a grand total for the Illinois Medical Center of 8 lecture rooms with a floor area of 12,600 square feet and 1132 seats. The lar- gest of the lecture rooms is located in the D. M.P. Building and contains 390 seats. There is thus available no auditori-um for such functions as Commencements and larger publ:c meetings. The location of the lecture rooms within the school building malies them difficult of access for the public, especially at night. For that reason, the proposed building in- cludes an auditorium seatirig I5OO which will be so located that public use, as well as University use, will be possible. It is probable that a lecture room seating 25O people will bo specially equipped for the use of visual materials. These provisions will not replace any of the existing lecture rooms but will permit, in the one case, the housing of large assemblies at the University instead of in Public Halls remote from the University as at present and, in the other case, the display of material not now shown in the University lecture rooms. At no point in the Medical Center District is there an auditor- ium satisfactory for public meetings and for meetings of scientific and professional associations. Such an auditoritim might well serve as a community assembly center for the entire Medical Center District as well as for the smaller group known as the Illinois Medical Center. Such ser- .;-. (' I- r •■••.^^H■^ Li"b,, Mns,, & Aud. - page k Sec. 2 — 19 vice would be in addition to the service it would render the University of Illinois teaching program which in itself is felt to justify the "build- ing, ht Miscella neous; The space no^v devoted to library and musouin administration and to the illustration studios and photographic sti^dios is inadequate. It is proposed that all such work he coordinated in the new building and directed tov/ards erpansion of the museum function. This re-location will free certain space in the "basement of the D.M.P. Building for storage or other academic use, III. POST-WAT. DSVELOPLENT The plans for post-vvar development in Visual Education under the three general functions are as follows i 1, Library ; Increased use of printed material in connection with other visxial material is anticipated. It is hoped tliat the new building will encourage such coordinated use and make existing library material more used than it is at present, 2, Museum : Extensive expansion of display material is proposed. This will require the development of the present illustration stiidios, photographic studios , and display spaces into a unified working department. The "Jniversity of Illinois now enjoys energetic leadership in the field of Medical Illustration and related graphic materials. Expan- sion of the present studio and work space to take full advantage of the existing University personnel is contenrplated as part of the program, 3« Auditorium : The increase in community activity which is anticipated as part of the development program for the Illinois Medical Center and for the larger Medical Center District calls for a public Lib*, Mus., & Aud, - page 5 Sec. 2 — 20 meeting room in which modern visual materials can he ur-su. Tho develop- ment of a coiniminity health service, envisioned as part of the program, would justify such an assemhly liall, IV. PROPOSED KEW SPACE 1. Library : The proposed library portion of the Visual Edu- cation Building is designed to accommodate about 300*000 vol-umes and will require approximately 58,000 square feet of floor area. It is estimated that the present rate of accession of 20^ for each five years plus 1,000 gift volumes per year will result, at the end of thirty years, in a library of 300,000 vol-umes. Tlie estimated increase in the "reading group for the 30 year period brings the total to 2S00, including 1800 students and 1000 staff members. The building is to contain a Reading Rooia, a Reserve Reading Room, a Browsing Room, adequate stock space, Circulation Desk and Lobby space. Cataloging and other work rooms, and the necessary service areas. 2, Ivluseum: The plan of the museiora space is predicated upon a series of seminars approximately 20 x 26' which will contain unit cases with visual displays on related subjects. The proposed museum space will require 28,000 square feet. The building is to be located on the prop- erty south of Polk Street and between Wolcott Avenue and Winchester Street. The elements will be related to the present academic and hospital buildings to permit a maximum of accessibility for students as well as to give the proper orientation. Provisions for futuro expansion will be made. Pro- vision will also be made in the semiiiars for storing books if desired. Popular displays will be located in corridors and other public spaces so as to attract the public attention as well as serve the students. Work u •■'■.jy4 Lit),, Mur,., & Aui, - pa/;e 6 Sec. 2 — 21 space will be assigned to the illustration st-udios, ph'^i-;:)graphic stxadios, carpentry shop, plaster shop, and other service functions* The unit dis- play case is designed to permit intor-changing any and all material, thus giving a flexibility which it is hoped will he used to keep the displays up to date and functioning. Special provision will he made for projection of visual material and for the viewing of micro-films. The arrangement of the teaching mviseura seminars and the library reading rooms will be such that a close relationship between these two functions can be developed if desired without loss of essential privacy. 3o Auditorium ; The proposed auditorium is to adjoin the library museum space sufficiently close to serve for student assembly as much as required but sufficiently remote to permit piibllc assembly without inter- ference of student activity in the library and museum. The auditorium will be designed with 1,500 seats for the particular use of visual mater- ials. Emphasis will be placed on projection rather than upon traditional stage activity. The resultant building requires a gross floor area of 13U,000 square feet and will cost an estimated $1,750,000,00, V. FUTURE EGVSLOPIvlElIT The plans for this project contemplate a development for the next 30 year period, IBecause of the experimental character, however, of the museum portion of the project, no definite measure of its future growth can be established at this time. It is, therefore, proposed that the plan be sufficiently flexible to permit changes within the structure and, if necessary, future expansion of the structure to accommodate chang- ing requirements as they occur.

Provisions will be made for separate sections assigna"ble to student and graduate nujrses, if tha,t separation is foiind desirable. It is presumed that the feeding of student nurses will be provided for in the General Hospital instead of in the llurscs' Home, Lounges and other service space will be provided but more specialized recreation facilities will not be included since it is estimated they will be available in the student Union B^^ilding or in the gyranasi-um recreation building proposed. Nursos' Home pogo 3 Sec, 2 — 25 V. FUTUHE DEVELOriF.IIT The plans contemplate provision for development for the next fifteen years. It is anticipated that increases of later date can "be provided for "by expansion of the Nurses' Home in its proposed locationo VI. SUMMAEY 1, The present ITiirses' Home accommodates SO of the I30 grad-uate nurses. Completion of the proposed General Hospital additions will in- crease the total of graduate nurses to 200, Esta"blishment of a School of Nursing will add an ultimate I50 student nurses, giving a gross esti- mated future total of 350, 2, The present space; is inadequate for such a total and its location suggests conversion to hospital use instead of residential use, 3» The post-war development includes expansion of the existing graduate nursing service and establishment of a whole new department, a School of Nursing, h. The proposed "building is planned to accommodate 3OO of the estimated 35^ total nurses. Certain graduate nurses prefer to live away from the institute, 5, Additional development "beyond I5 years post-war has not been estimated. Site planning will permit building expansion if it becomes necessary. Prepared by Building Committee of Chicago Colleges. Sec, 2—26 PROJECT MED. 6 WOMEN'S HOSPITAL I. DEPASTlvElJT LOAD Tho present hospital services in Otstetrics and G;/7iecology are rendered in the General Hospital under a single department head. It is anticipated that the expansion of the General Hospital proposed will he reflected in an increase of hospital "beds assignahle to the women* s ser- vices from ^-7 (plus 3U "bassinets) to I30 (plus 60 bassinets). A farther gradual increase of these services to an estimated total of I5O beds will ultimately j\i.stify the building of a separate hospital for women, II. PEEssrT spag:^ The women's services are now located in the General Hospital building in space originally designed for general medicine. Additions to the hospital will provide for expansion of Obstetrics and Gynecology into space originally designed for Psychiatry. Even with proposed improvement of these spaces no completely satisfactory arrangement can be made in the present building to take care of the women's services, III. POST-WAR DEVSLOPISNT It is therefore proposed that a separate hospital be erected de- voted exclusively to the women's services. It is possible that this project may be carried out in cooper- ation with other agencies interested in maternal welfare. If this is done, there will be a sharing of cost of development as well as use of services. Women's Ho3pJ*-,al - v^QO 2 Soc. 2 — 27 IV.

No estimates have "been made of later expansion. The location of the Women's Hospital on the huilding site will permit expansion of the "building if future requirements .justify, 1, Additions to the General Hospital will result in expanded load for the V/omen's Hospital. A slight increase in succeeding years is also anticipated, 2, Present facilities are obsolete and inadequate.

KSPARTlffiFT LOAD The present Research and Educational Hospitals do not provide a separate unit for contagious diseases. Such cases when discovered are isolated within individual hospital "bedrooms until they can "be trans- ferred to other hospitals. Fnile the City and County maintain contag- ious hospital services which are used for teaching purposes, they do not fully meet the demand in this area. As the growth of the Illinois Medical Center approaches its ultimate total of 1,000 hospital "beds, a uiait for contagious diseases located within the Center hecomes more essential. In a Medical Center of the size contemplated all knov/n standards call for the inclusion of a contagious disease unit to permit efficient hospital service operation and to support the teaching program. II. PHESEIIT SPACE No space is now assigned to an isolation unit in the Research and Educational Hospitals, III. POST-Y^AR DEVELOPMENT It is anticipated that the post-war period will see not only the normal requirements for a contagious disease hospital hut also alinormal requirements resulting from the transplanting to this country of certain foreign contagious diseases hrotight by returning soldiers. In spite of the extreme efforts which are "being made to avoid such transferring of diseases, it is likely that the load of contagious cases will "be considerably larger. .'K. Isolation Hospital - page 2 Soc. 2—29 The University has already developed a war-time program of teachiiig and research in tropical medicine.

DEPAE5I.ENT LOAD Tlie present recreation program is carried on in the Chicajio mini Union Biiilding which provides a gyianasium, an exercise room, shower and locker rooms, for physical education, and meeting rooms for other parts of the recreation program. Vacant property at the south- west corner of Wolcott Avenue and Polk Street has "been surfaced with crushed stone and is used as an athletic field and drill field. Great improvements have "been made in the physical education program since it was started in 19^1 but considerable further development is needed and is anticipated for the post-wr.r period. Such development will require added pliysical facilities. II. PBES31TT SPICE The present space in the Chicago Illini Bioilding is inadequate for the over-all program anticipated. The gymnasium is too small for a satisfactory haskefball game and "becomes, therefore, principally a drill or exercise room. There is no swimming pool accominodation nor provision for small athletic rooms such as wrestling rooms, hoxir^, fencing, and so forth. The playing field is too small to permit more than one prin- cipal activity at a time which is a defini1;d drawback in college intra- mural sports. The present program is entirely intra-mural in character, I lie POST-WAH nSVELOPIvENT A slight increase in the student body is anticipated in the post-war period and further development of the program itself.

ARBORETUIjI DEP.^TMENT LOAD The College of Pharmacy working chiefly through its Department of Phariiiacognosy, makes extensive and continued stixlies of the prol)j.ems Connected With dl-xigs. This includes studying the development and im- provement of domestic plants for use in drug manufacturing. Wartime limitations on transportation have stimulated research in this field, and experiments heive already teen made leading toward greater production of domestic drug plants, II, PRESENT SPACE The College has enjoyed the cooperative use of facilities of the University of Illinois College of Agricul.ture at their experimental farm located southwest of DesPlaines, Illinois, For several years approximately two acres have oesn under c^altivation for drugs, No facilities exist on this farm for satisfactory drying of drugs, and the arrangement does not give complete facilities either to the College of Pharmacy or to the College of Agriculture, Development of the Dodge Aircraft Factory has produced a land condition in the district which prevents satisfactory expansion of the present farm. Analyses show a].so that the soil in tliat locality is not the "best for dr-ag research. For these and other reasons, it has "been concluded that a separate experi- mental unit will "be more satisfactory to all parties concerned than the expansion of the present combined unit. Arboretxim - page 2 Sec, 2 — 3^ III. POST~V/AS DEVELOPIffiUT It is anticipated that tlie research on domestic drug plants will "be continued and expanded after the war and for many years to come. Development of this research is one of the items in the future program of the College of Pharmacy. IV. PROPOSED NEW SPACE The proposed project contemplates leasing from the Morton Arljoretum, located southwest of Glen Ellyn, kk acres for a long term with provisions for erecting necessary "buildings on the property and development of the land for drug research. Tlie Morton Arboretum has indicated its willingness to entering into such an arrangement with the University of Illinois, and the College of Pharnaacy expects to suTd- mit at an early date a detailed report covering the suhject more fully, Tor the ptirpose of these estimates it was anticipated that a laboratory building, space for drying, storing, handling, and other manufacturing operations, and some housing for caretakers woixld be provided. The estimated cost of the project is $l60,000,00, V. EUTUHE DEVELOPIvENT The plans proposed should provide facilities for development of tliis service for thirty years after the war.

It is anticipated tliat the future v/ill see a continued f~rowth of the close working relationship between this unit of the Department of Public Welfare and the University of Illinois, It is hoped that such relationship can be developed further by the in- clusion of a new building for the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary as part of the general development plan for the Illinois Medical Center, III. PRESENT SPACE The Illinois Bye and Ear Infirmary nov/ occupies its own building on Adams and Sangamon Streets in Chicago, containing approximately I50 beds. It is anticipated that moving the infirmary to the Illinois Medi- cal Center will free this building for other medical or welfare use. Since the infirmary is not closely identified with the General Hospital the services rendered its patients are not as well balanced as they would otherwise be. 111.

The University is concerned with the building project, however, since it will want to maintain con- trol over the residence hall operations and riay assist in acquiring necessary land. The arrangement proposed is similar to that now in effect on the Urbana caucus, II. DEPARTlffiNT LOAD The normal student body, totalling approximately 1,250, is pro- vided with a very limited amount of organized housing. The five medical fraternitios have accommodations for lOS students in their houses lo- cated along Ashland Boulevard about three blocks east of the University. The professional Y, U. C,A, with JOO roous offers modern housing facilities to individ-ual students. This housing, however, is sliared with other pro- fessional people in the area and lacks the desired element of student control. All other students live either in rented rooms or a.parthients throtxghout the city or live at homo. It is estimated that there will bo a slight increase in the total enrollment in the post-war period but the principal need is for organized housing to take care of a reasonable portion of the students.

It is likely, however, tliat the provision of student residence halls on the campus itself would not result in elimination of the fraternity "buildings, at least during the early stages of the residence hall development. Taking all housing facilities together still provides total facilities which are not adequate, IV. POST-WAR DEVSL0P1.ENT The general development of the plan for the Illinois Medical Center in the post-war period calls for building student residence hall units at the same time as other htiildings. V. PROPOSSD 1I3\7 SPACE The program for recidence liall development contemplates an ultimate provision of Q\k heds , costing a total of $3,500,000,00, The provision of centralized organized housing is e:cpected to aid in devel- oping a greater consciousness of University unity among the students. The total cost includes a disproportionate amo\int of food service cost and provides some service for transient guests. The ostimatod cost of the Student Union Building will he reduced hy the incliision of these services in the cost of the proposed residence halls, VI. FUTUR?.

POST-WAR DEVELOPlvENT It is not anticipated that the post-war period will see a marked increase in the requirements on this service. IV. PROPOSED IIM SPACE The proposal made is for minor detailed improvements to the present "building. This includes installation of curtain separations in certain wards; installation of a dividing partition in the schoolroom; enclosure of a roof-deck for summer time use; provision of protective "bars on certain windows, and glass panels and other similar minor im- provements.

L Soc. 3 — 4 CHEMICAL LABORATORY I. INTRODUCTION The Chemistry Dopcrtraent of the University h.is "been tadly crowded nnd inadoquntoly ho-used for many yoars. This meraorcjr^d-um points out the doficioncios in the present plant, and maices a definite proposel for now quarters. Theso new quarters are needed now, and every effort should be bont toward obtaining them as soon as tho war is ended, II. DEP.^JlTtffiMT LOAD The Chemistry Dopcrtraent has shown a continuous and rapid growth In onrollment for many yees^t as is shown by tho data in the onclosod table. Crowding bacrjnc intolerable in 1938 and it was nocessery to limit the enrollment in chemistry and chsmicel engineorirg by rairing the requirements for admission to both graduate and undergraduate courses. The Chemistry Department is the only department in the University which has found it necessary to tiirn students away because of lack of space. This limitation afforded temporary relief, but by 1940 the enrollment was egain apt)roachlng an all timo high. Tho decreases since that time have '"oeea the direct res\iLt of the war. Thero is every reason to believe that growth will continuo at an accelerated rate after the war. The attitude of the Selective Service System toward chemists and chemical engineers has been widely publicized and has focused the attention of the American people on tho importance of these professions. Vast chemical plants have been built for the maiiufacturs of synthetic rubber, aviation gasoline, magnesiuin, chlorine, explosives, and other chemicals. Some of those factors will doubtless be abandoned when the war is ended, but most of the chemical companies are laying plans for the utilization of their plants in peace-time v/ork.

The problem, howover, is norj than ona of nianbors of students. The chemical industry has not only greatly increased in size in tho last twenty yoars, but alpo has conpletoly changed in ch.iractor. A qi^arter of a century ogo, nost professional chenists In America were anelysts in such plants as steol nills, sneltors, &jid railroad laboratories. Only a few slnple chemicals which were used in bulk qua.ntities, such as soda ash, lye, and sulfuric and hydrochloric ccids, wore manufactured in America, Now, however, the great majority of Jinerican chem.ists are engs^ed in tho develop- ment or ncjiufacture of synthetic chomicals, textiles, plastics, fertilizers, vitamins, and a host of other products. This chpjige in the charijcter of tho industry has greatly multiplied the problems of chemicol education. An anclyst may be troinod with simple equipment occupyinj; only a small Koount of space. To train a man to develop new processes, discover new products, or to do any other type of research is an entirely different matter. He nnist have access to many types of equipment and, in some cases, to rooms where the temperature and humidity can be controlled. To teach the processes of commercial production, we must provide our students with large scale equip- ment, Tho laboratories built twenty-five years s^o were adequate for their intended purposes but they ere totally unfitted for the type of instructional work which must now bo done. It should be pointed out also that the Chemistry Department gives instruction to many students who are preparing for careers in other fields. All students in the college of engineering take at least two courses in chemistry, and those in cgriculture take at least three courses. Students in the pre-medical and nre-dental curricula, and those majoring in Dhysics, geology, mathematics, bacteriology and other sciences constitute a large •■s-\v'*1V^^' ".,, ... ■ i y ^.;v'.v.'j,:V -I ■-.■•■J \.:;^ ■ ' 1*' C.''-'. ^J'"' 'f:. 1 '< : I . !

Sovoral universities conpara'ble to the Univer- sity of Illinois were asked to i^ive us data from which we could calcxjlato the nur-^bor of square feet of laboratory space available for each research student, The avercgo at all of the schools which replied was 310 sq, ft. per student. Tho comparable figure at Illinois wr.s 159 sq. ft. It is significant that none of the other schools felt tha.t they had more space than they needed, aP-d several felt that they were badly overcrowded, III. PRESEiTT SPACE The present quarters provided for chemistry end chemical engineer- ing v/ere built in three units. The first unit, which constitutes the West Half of the Noyes Laboratory, was built in 1902, It has a total floor area of 71,464 square feet. It was well built, and is in good condition from the structural point of view, but from the chemical point of view, it suffers from two major defects — it is not fireproof, and it is inadeqiiately venti- lated. Unusual fire hazards are inherent in chomical work. 'iThen hundreds of students are housed in en inflammable structure the dangers to life become a serious responsibility. The University is extremely fortvjiate in that a catastrophy In the Chemistry BuildJng has so far been averted, A fire of serious proportions would cause osplosions, which would increase the danger to students ajid others wlio attampted to control tho conflagration. .'k: •■ ■ .*C;'.'.\* ■■'a. ■■■ ■\.::t:-.^.. i- 1 ::■•■ i -f..; :;.>■ / ■• ;»: •.■ .■■:■:(.: .'.■ :. r '■■i \ .-..'•.! ;,:• :i!: -\. :■ ;•. >•> " ■..:■■' -fvi .V , .■ Oj-T^"/.^ ■•;■.'<.'/ ■:;.:.-\ K- "'yi'\ Chemical Laboratory - page 'i Soc. 3 — 7 In addition to the danger to life, destfuctlcn of the chomlGtry "b-ulldlng would occasion an enormous loss In ecjuipment and supplies. The attached table (Table II) glvos a consorvativo estimate of the monotary value of those items. The University carries insurance on the building and Its contents, In contrast to its practice Flth respect to most other campLis Btruc-tures, But ma:iy of the items included in Table II could bo nplaced only by years of effort. Many pieces of equipment have been designed and built for special purposes* An. extensive collection of rare chemicals has been accumu!l.ated throut^h the efforts of mary individuals. Such items cannot be valutcl in terras of dollars and ccncs. Their destruction wotild bo a calamity, Not the least important would be the loss of the scientific records, diroctione for chemical processes, and iGsoorch data in the files of the staff morabors. Such materials could not be replcced at ary price; nor can it be kept in vaults, for it is bel^Tg consulted constantly by both students and staff. Indeed, this accuraulr>//icn of experience, as represented by the records of the staff, contributes onormously to the teaching and re- search success of the Department, The firo he.zard alone is sufficient to justify the erection of a new building. The second unit of the present plant constitutes the east half of Koyes Laboratory and has a floor area of 80,141 sq. ft. It was erected in 1916, and is of fireproof construction. However, a fire in the older part of tho building would probably render this unit almost entirely useless for a considerable period of tine. Tlie ventilation in the east part oi"" the building is no better than tho.t in the o.:itr unit, and Is notoriously in- adequate. Fumes of all sorts, which in a well planned laboratory r:ould "be carried to the exterior by hood flues, constantly escape into the l^borc-tcries -"•'VVC-:i;' .

This lack of ventilation is a serious nonaco to tho health of tho students and staff. The cost of improving this situation in tho present structure would bo larg*. Closely related to the lack of ventilation are the conditions which exist on the fourth floor whoro the laboratories of biochenistry arc located. Most of these rooms, including the class and research laboratories £uid the offices, are illuminated by sky-lights o During the summer months the temperatures are all but insufferable.

The Chenistry Annex will bo retained by the Chor-iistry Departneut in any plans for the future. The entire Noyos Laboratory, however, should be converted to othor uses. The cost of ventilating, fireprooflng, and re- fitting it for nodern chenical work would be large, IV. POST-WAR DEVELOPMSI^T? The growth of the cheinicsl. industry during recent years has shown no sign of abating; on the contrary, it ssems to be accelerating, yollov;- ing cessation of hostilities some provision must be mad.e for departmental expansion unless ttie University is pranaroi to limit further the enrollment in cotirsos. In tho opinion of the Department, the latter alternative would be an unfortunate solution of the question of space. In this connection it i-.o\-'ld be emphasized that the Department has never experienced difficulty in placing its graduates. The demand for those who attain the degree of Lector of Philosophy always exceeds the supply,, Problems arising from the war have led to the develo':iment of mav.y new fields of activity in chemistry. Students of the future will rcquiro training in these new areas of knowledge, rjid tho Department cannot hope to retain its present position of eminence unless facilities for such in<.- struction are made available. Among these new developments may be man-'.. '.'^ned the chemistry of plastics, including synthetic rubber, synthetic fibers. -■.-.y^'j -:).:';!

Other problems of equal ihTport^uice are the newer developments in aviation graolino, avifition liabricr^ting oils and brake fltiids, synthetic drugs, and synthetic insecticides. Several new applications for organo-fluorino compounds hav3 cone to light. Certain of these products are resistant to high temperatures, and bid fair to become of liroortanco second onl^' to synthetic ruVoer, Obvioursly, the chemistry department of the post-war era must be in position f^ offer courses in and to furnish facilities for research along these and other modern lines, V. PROPOS:SD W^ SPACE It is proposed that new quarters for chemistry and chemical engin- eering be constructed on the block directly east of the Chemistry Annex and bo-ondod by Mathews, California, 5oodwin and Oregon Streets. This structure should have a floor area of at least 250,000 sq. ft«, which is approximately 1" 0,000 sq. ft, more than that now provided in Noyes Laboratory. About 16,000 sq. ft, in Noyes Laboratory is not used by th3 Chemistry Department, but by tho Depc-j- hr.iont of Bacteriology and the State Water Survey^ This will give space for nG-,7 facilities as well as for an increase in student enrollment , One unit of this structure with fc;pproxlmately 50,000 sq, ft. of floor rxea wo-uld be designed fcr vjovIz in chemical engineering with l^a-go laboratories and pilot plant on the first floor, balconies to provide for tall construction, overhead cranes, adequate sewers to handle large !••;■. <■ X.

The laboratories would need water, distilled water, gas ▼aouun, compressed air ond electric lines. In certain parts of the building both direct and alternating current shoiald be supplied.

IITRO DUCT ION The necessity for inprovin^ tho focllltios for the torching of Chemical Er^ginooriTTg at tho University of Illinois has "been evident for tho last ten yorrs. Tho sp ce now available is inadoqu6ito in size and -ans-aitablo for tho typo of instrtiction and research considerod neces- sary in this fiold. At present, all of tho classroom work cxid apart of the laboratcfJry instruction in Chemical Engineering is carried on in the Noyes Chordcal Laboratory. The ranpinder of the laboratory work, including rr.ost of the -undergrsduato and graduate rosorxch, has "been carried on in two tonporary "buildings, located sovoral "blocks fron the Noyes Labor atcry., and in a room at the Abbott Power Plant. Not only is this arrangement unsatisfactory from the stejidpoint of efficient use of the students' and faculty's tine, but even these places are overcrowded and will no longer take crre of tho enrollment in the cui'riculum., A new "building is requested which will adequately house all of the instruction in Cbomlcal Sngineoring and which will permit the installation of new equipment ejir^. pilot plrnt facilities so essential for work in this field, II. DEP^TlffiNT LOAD The grov7th of enrollment in the undergraduate Chemical En- gineering curric-ulum since 1926 is shown in Table 1. Prior to that time only a few co^arses T.ere given in this subject, and most of these were confined to Industrie! Chemistry. Modern Chemical Engineering may bo said to have started about the time of the last war. It has developed rapidly during the last two decades with the growth of the petroleum and process industries.

In 1930, the facllltios were alrdody so overtaxed that It was necessary to reduce the onrollnent "by Increasing the scholastic requlrenents for the upper classes. While this neasiore provided temporary relief, the number of students again began to increase by 1940, and In the Fall of 1942 It had reached an all-time high. Continuation of this growth after the war is expected because of the Increasing iniportanco of the synthetic chemical process industries and the widesprerd ot'lnlon that the basic training given in Chemical Engineering is broadly applicable to other engineering professions. This growth is not peculiar to Chemical Engineering at the Univ- ersity of li-Linois. It has been experienced by nearly all of the Chemical Enginrering departments in this country. In a survey of sixty-nine schools covering the five years prior to 1941, it ras found that nineteen had com- pleted new bulldingrj, or had new buildings under construction. Thirty-eigh'; others had made exi-.anslve additions to the Chemical Engineering laboratory or had remodeled an existing building to provide a laboratory. Only seven ochools indicated that they had not made alterations, and three of these had active plan?- either for new bulldin^'^s or for extensive remodeling of existing ones. At the present time the space avai lab le per student at Illinois is less than that at thirty- six of the forty-eight accredited schools in the United Sta '^f.s; and the schools which rank lower than Illinois In this respect are, for the most part, those which have large evening classes composed of part tine students » In the present undergraduate curriculum at the University, the courses in Chemical Engineering are given In the junior and senior years. i ■"■ 3'A'f .: :v.-' • rar ■ '^ :';.

Much of tho work on these coop- erative investigations has boon carried on in temporary quarters built fron funds supplied by the sponsors. In 1926, the staff in Chenicol Bnginoorln^ consisted of six ftjll- tlne and approxinatoly six part-tine non. Due to the increase in cooper- ative research work, the number of full-time staff approximately doubled in tho next flvg years. Just before the war there were oie:ht full-time non, four of whom devoted their efforts almost exclusively to research, and about twelve part-time men as toachinf^ and research assistants. At the present tine the largo war research project in this Division employs more than twonty- five enj^lnoGrs and chemists, III. PRESENT SPACE Most of the instruction in Chemical Engineerin,? is given in tho 3ast Wing of Noyos Laboratory, constructed in 1916, where 14,500 sq* ft. Is available. A pert of tho undergraduate laboratory work is a:iven in the base- ment of the building. The main unit operations laboratory, where practical training is given in distillation, evaporation and settling, and a snail stu- dent nachino shop are located in the basement of the old part of Noyee Lab- oratoryr The restrictions presented by the flro hazard In this location are severe. Just as serious are the lack of head room, Inadequate floor spaco, and poor lighting.

Any increase in student enrollnant will call for a corresponding increase in staff which, in turn, will require niore office space. The required classroon and office space can "be provided in a now "building constructed for that purpose or it can ho node avail ahlo hy re- nwdeline; and reconditioning space v/hich may he vacated bfcagiso of tho con- strtiction of other buildings. At tho present tine, the need for nodernizinf? many of the older laboratories is acute. Some of these were "built fifty years a^o, many are over forty years old and fev7 have been constructed during tho past twenty years. Because of the special requirements of laboratories, it is cheaper and much nore satisfactory to construct new laboratory space than to nodornizo old laboratories and construct new classroom and office space. The new classroon and office space should be located in the central ^art of the cajnnus 90 that students can go from class to class dtiring the ten- ninute intermission period. If now space is provided for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, at least the west section of Hoyos Laboratories will be released for other uses. This section was completed in 1902, It is of haavy-timber construction with brick bearing w?lls.

In general, the 'b-ullding is structurally sound, the chief defect in this section of tho buildirg is the coiling of the top story which is of li.feht wood construction.

The type of construction is similar to that of the oast eoc- tion of the Chemistry Building which has been described. In general » the building is structurally sound. It is well provided with windows and so has excellent natural light ihg and ventilation. The Chemistry Laboratories and the Old J^riculture Building are extr^nely well located for use as classroom buildings for the College of Lib- OTcl Arts and Sciences.

First: The plaii for housing the Department of Bacteriology in raodornized quarters on the first floor of the Old Jigi-iculture Bulldi::ig. iis you know this project was approved hy your committee and the money, $9'^, 000, for carrying it out was appropriated. But for the war the Bacteriology Dq- partmont would now he occupying this space. In view of these facts and tho ohvious advantages of tho plan, this request seems to need no elaboration. Dr.. Tanner's letter, however, is attached. Second: The construction of a new building for the Department of Entomology at a cost which we feel would not exceed $200,000. Dr. Motcalf's memorand-um regarding the needs of this department has "been in your h.ands for sometime and a sketch of the proposed building will be sent to you very soon* You will note that we are asking for very little addition^, building space for this department but are specifically and en^hatically asking for a quite different location. This location should be chosen with special reference to the needs of entomi^logical work and the advantages to be derived by the CollegG of igriculture. The space released by this department in Harker Hall is badly needed for class room use for which the location of the building is ideal. •-■"■vrj •.. / r ■••;■, ■ : ;■".' f • - ■■■ ^T'K;.- r- t :■..■ '"'■: ■^■■'.■^ -l-^-,:. •£>■• ;• ■r'^- '.<. - ;.■• 'ir,- ■ } -•Si}' ■ IV. ■■■'■-■: i^..vio.r=:,x.

From personal acquaintance with the facilities in alnost all of the larger univer- sities, I would say that we stand absolutely at the bottom. The University of Illinois is hardly within shouting distance of the procession. To think of providing, however, for a particular discipline (Phy- siology) where the needs are most urgent, leaving the remainder of Biology in status quo would be extremely short-sighted. The days of autonomous "Institutes" of Physiology, Ecology, Entomology are passing. Although the Life Sciences have much in common (all the basic processes) we have behaved as though each discipline were tho true interpreter of Nature, which is characterized by a oneness, only nan having created separate sciences (and •♦flopcxtraents"). * See the June 1937 prospectus for the inadequacy of the Natural History Building — its crowded condition, a superb library housed in a fire trap, a fine teaching museum also exposed to fire hazard and crcciped for space. Cost of rebuilding and modernizing the Natural History Building evon a layman can see would be Prohibitive and would result in a maJceslnft at best.

Site B: On Mathews between Oregon and Nevada streets. This block wovild be adequate if open ground could be socured oast of Goodwin, The advantage of this sito^ though sonewhat farther removed from agriculture, is its nearness to the proposed new Chonistry Building,* for in future the cooperation between Biochenistry and Physical Chen- istry and Biology will greatlj'- increase. * I visualize n-uch closer integration of Biology with Biochenistry and Phy- sical Chenistry, as for exariple in the identification of netabolic corjpo-unds within cells and tissues by X-ray diffraction, ultra-violet fluorescence, absorption of specific wave-lengths of light, infra-red photography and other nethods brought out by tho chemist for the solution of biological problems, whether in animals, plants or bacteria. ^■■''y-'-.J. ■■r.v.^n ■■■■- '"-^ a:1 ■:(':■-■: ■•:^ ^if.-n ;•-•• :*.-~,-r ., .■.r»^ i;::-Kr-ir-- ■V . , * «-» 'j *; •:-.,' : >>7=l',;. :; If .r^^" -V-. . ■ • r* f . . • > '.'^' ■■■ -'..i:--.! : .

Psychology is mentioned especially because there Is some doubt in my mind as to whether the Depaj*tment would want to leave its central location and also because of Psychology's close relation to Education and Sociology, ** Such buildings erected 30 years ago at Yale, 40 years ago at Pennsylvania, 10 years ago at Berkeley are as satisfactory today, I am assured, as when built.

More adequate provisions for in- struction in these courses should be nade. It is, however, ny considered opinion that such facilities should be provided in connection with buildings now held by or to be constructed by the College of Agriculture which would of necessity have sinilar equlpnent. The alternative which would involve securing expensive space and providing facilities at a distance from the College of Ag- riculture seens to no both inefficient ejid. unsatisfactory.

ENTOWLOGY A fundancntol requircoont for tliQ work of the Dopartraont of Ento- nolof^y is some space adjrcont to tho building where livirv? nateriols for re- search and classroom demonstrations can "bo roared and loapt in oxporimontal soil plots, in out-of-door re>arin£; cafi:os, undor varied ecolo,^ical conditions. Our minimum needs in this respect are an aroa not smaller than 200 x 200 feet with a greonh?uso and an insect pry glass-house about 30 x 100 foet, a pool for aquatic insects, and some small soil plots, as well as a well-foncod area in which to house the honey "bee colonies for work in igricxiLture. I wish to emphasize that the location su^.^ested by soug of our staff in Biology for a building on the square east of Mathews Steet and south of Green Street would be absolutely unsatisfactory so far as Entomology is con- cerned, because there would not be sixfficient area for some natur^JL, undis- turbed, areas where honey boes, insocts, plants, and sono lorger animals may be kept close enough tc the offices and laboratory so that insect materials for research, class use, and demonstration could be available. That location wo\ild not give tho isolation from residences and heavy traffic necessaj-y for the protection of the plots and to protect the public from attack by the honey bees. It seems to me that the ideal location, at le^t for Entomology if not for all of the Biology Departments, would be somewhere east or west of tho New Agriculture Building; either north or east of the Floriculture and Vege- table Greenhouses; directly west of the New Agriculture Building; or west of the Genetics Laboratory and .Agricultural Engineering Building, north of the Stock Pavilion, and east of the Animal Pathology Laboratory. This would en- able us to make use of the University forestry and the orchards, fields, and gardens of the Experiment Station for demonstrations in iigricultural ajid ,••"". , ? ■ ..K''a>>;t: ■■■: J. ■;;■ U».^.',:^-3'' ■■•;.'*.:' a -■ ''"• ■f' . ^ ;'■ b \:V ,::r.J-M \' -: .'• Entonolo^ - pr^o 2 Sec. 3 — 40 Forest Entonnloa:y; and with the location of our J^lcultxiral Laboratory out there, it wo^ild be of groat advantage both to the honey bees and the i^rl- c\J.tural Departments, many of vrich depend absolutely upon cross-poTli nation of tho plants by honey bees for successful product :'.on of crops, I feel sure that, at tho close of the present war, there will be a groator appreciation of tho inportance of Entomology than ever before. That appreciation is already becoming intensifiod, ospocially among the men In our military sorvico, who havo suffered so much from the annoyance ci^id the Injury of insect predators and parasites and the very hie;hly fatal diseases dissora- inated solely by insects, mites, snd ticks; and also by farmers and others vitally interested in food production; ty storakeepors and others who are seriously concornod with the safe storage of grain, foods, clothing, fabrics, and other human possessions which are subject to complete destruction by household and stored product pfsts. I have tried to indicate on tho accompanying pages the size and nature of building space necessary for Entomology in normal timos and es- pecially aftor tho war. It seems to me it would require a throe-floor build- ing about 48 X 140 feet. We have had to refuse, this winter, donations from three or four companies who wanted us to do research work testing the effi- ciency of insecticides they are manufacturing; because we do not have room enough for any more work on toxicology in this building. The following state- ment is a tentative suggestion of the most satisfactory arrangonent of the various rooms outlined for our needs. Rooms 1 and 2. Two rooms about 24' x 36' for lectures, laboratory and quizzes in Entomologyl, four sections accommodating about 32 students in each room.

This room requires hoods, exhaust frjis, vacuum chambers, himidity and temperature-control chambers, gas compressed air, filtered water, cold brine and her.vy electric current. It m.ust be located so that a truck can be driven close to it and close to outside insect ary-greenhouse.

PSYCHOLOGY Tho only presolng neor' of tho DopOTtnont of Psychology In tho w^ of a "bnildin^ so far as con now bo forosoon, is In connection with the Poy- chological Clinic. To tho public this is known as the Counsolling Oentor. This clinic was inaviguratod two yocrs ago. It is housed in tho first floor of 105 South Goodwin, To that address in the course of a year came about one hundred children and a certain nimber of pai-onts, and a fow teachers, and social workBrs. The educational purpose of the clinic is to provide living cases of child behavior problems, and thus opportunities for observation,- testing, and general di^nosis, needed for offering instruction and training (at various levels) in Clinical Psychology, It is hoped that this work will be further developed to the point where we can t-urn out graduate students well trained for tho profession of Clinical Psychologist. Our present quarters are fairly satisfactory, but it is inprobable that the University will allow the old frane house, formerly a private dwell- ing, to stand indefinitely. Our best hope of secxuring adequate pornanent quarters seens to be in connection with the plans of Dean Benner for a new building. It is my -understanding, obtained directly from him, that he has included adequate space for the Psychological Clinic in the plans which hie has proposed. While the quarters proposed by Dean Benner would be associated both physically and operationally with space for other types of work with, children, the work in clinical psychology, and tho training of clinical psy- chologists is to remain the Department of Psychology, The only request from the Department of Psychology, then, is that we be allowed to continue to use the present quarters at 106 South Goodwin until new quarters are available.

SECTION 4 PRCmCTS PF.OPOSED BY THE COLLEGE OF AGRICIILTTIRE GENERAL COMMENTS The groatost nood of the Colleero of JigrlcTolt-arQ at the present time is adequate laboratories for research and toaching. Included in this is a need for demonstration classrooms in which materials, charts, films, and othor visud aids can "be appropriately usod. As comporod with states having a comparable egricultural production and wealth, Illinois is poorly equitroed with facilities of this kind. It should be notod that in addition to boing one of the first states in a;^ricultural products, for example, meat packing, dairy manufacturing, canning, and processirjg corn and soybeans. It stands equally high in the mraiufacture of farm machinery and equipment, ThD •cgriculture of Illinois is devoted very lar^^ely to the production of foods. As now organized the college combines the production and consumption areas with a substantial anount of research and teaching in processing fields, particularly in dairy manufacture, canning, and meats processirg, Tiiat part of the research work of the college which must be done in the indoor laboratories is largely housed in the Old jfigriculture Building which was constructed in 1900, The most recent laboratory building is the one for dairy manufactures constructed in 1925. Great strides have been taken in agricultural research since these biiildings woro constructed. The research program of thi college has expanded many fold and the need for further expa?.- sion is great. The staff lias grown from 50 in 1900 to 315 in 1943-44, The number of students enrolled in the college has grown to 1,549 in 1940-41. While the percentage of the population engaged in agriculture has declined the need for agricultural research and teaching has steadily \*K <^v1 :■: 'V v : r 'Jt', -,!'-■ i. . • •» f. y Colls/^o of iUrricaltiiro - pt^o 2 Sec. 4 — 2 Increased, i^ctunlly rruch of the rosjorch Is in the Interest of oil consuners as nuch as it is In the interest of a?ricialt\iral pro'lucors. There follows a sionnc-iry of the laboratory buildings urft'ently needed by the Colle£:e of j^ricultiiro, incl Tiding its Department of Hono Economics. In sotting up the total nunbor of squrre foot included in the conblned laboratory needs only 35,000 squfjo feet wes allowed for animal pathology. We believe that the University should establish a school of vetorinrxy medicine, but in that case the aoTDroprlation for buildings rjnd equipment which is indicated to amount to $1,500,000 should not be included in the allocations to the Coll e2;o of A;:ricult,uro, Tlio most expensive of tho minor buildings is probably the control unit for tho groi^) of dairy brxns on South Lincoln Avonuo, This is estimated to require apprcxinately $40,000 at present rates. Attention should bo called to the proposal to attach a meats laboratory s::).^. a h'^lding barn to tho stock pavilion. The holdir^ barns might be incorporated in the present structure while -ors-cnt repairs are being made. More detailed statements covering each item in the list follow.

This building is not adapted to animal pathology and hygiene activities, including teaching, research, and public service. However, three undergraduate courses heve been de- veloped for agricultural students in anatomy and physiclogy of farm animals and in the rrevention of nutritionrl , contagious, and non-contagious diseases ir'. farm animals. Five grf.iuate coursos also h£.ve been developed for students working toward the M.S. oM. Ph.D. degrees in animal pathology and hygione Student enrollment at present is reduced, but even with a small nijrabex- of students (20), the facilities cse inadequate for under- graduate and graduate teaching. The facilities for research are also inrdoquatoly provided for in the old beef cattle brrn, both as to room and adaptability. The present facilities for research constitute a hazard to the workers in handling various infectious materials o.nd limit the quality of work which can bo done. The public service demands, including diagnosis of animal diseases conducted in cooperation with the State Department of Agriculture, also overtax the facilities of our laboratories. Last year, more than 75,000 specimens were handled in the diagnostic laboratories, and specimens sub- mitted to the laboratory this year are on the increase. It is anticipated that the public service load will continue to increase with the crowding of animals on Illinois farms. •'? ->'w.. «::- . -.c ■''* iSTv ■ ~'.' " ; -t"' r ' ..

PRESEIir SPACE The old beof cattle building which houses the department of animal pathology emd hygiene is not designed or constructed for research, diagnosis, or teaching in animal pathology and hygiene. A total of approx- imately 12,000 square feet of floor space is provided. Four separate laboratory activities are crowded into one laboratory. Furthermoro, a single room must provide both office space and the major laboratory working space for five persons — two f\'Il-tiine pathologists, one 2/3-time pathologist, and two f-ull-tirao technicians. The partitions and ceilings are of a teraf- porary natvje, creating an uncontrollable dust hazard. Staff members are obliged to have their desks in the corners of laboratory rooms in which leth.-il viruses are handled and in rooms whore these lethal viruses are propagated. A minimum of 60,000* square feet is needed to house the present activities of this Department, The construction should be fire- proof, including concrete, steel, and brick, with impervious interior finish with autopsy nooms, cold storage rooms, laboratory eq^iipment , incubators, animal rooms, and incinerators. At least part of the building, including offices and laboratories, should be air-conditioned. The present space is inadequate and unsuitable and of a type of construction that should not be considered as apart of the future building needs. III. POST-WAR DEVELOPMENTS OF A VETSRI NARY COLLEGE In addition to a building to house the department of animal pathology and hygiene, a veterinary college building with a mininuni of 100,000 square feet of floor space of a permanent type of construction mentioned above should be considered in the post-war building plans of the University. It would not be advisable to provide inferior equipment for ♦This figure has been changed from 35,000 after talking with Mr. Stouffer. •V*- 'rji ^ .-.• . ..- I ..-.f.

It appears necessary in the future pro- tection of the livestock industy of Tllinois that arrangements be made at the University of Illinois to give instruction in veterinary medicine. The California Legislature recently appropriated $1,000,000 for a new veterinary coll'ige as a post-war activity, - IV. FEOPOSED NEW SPACE For the deportment of animal pathology fjad hygiene, not including the veterinary college, a net floor sDace of not less than 60,000 square feet is desired. This building might be located in the c^ricultural grow east of the dairy msnufacturers' unit or in this vicinity. Special labor- atory services, such as gas, high pressure steam, comoressed air, vacu^oiu and specicl incubators, autopsy and inoculr.ting rooms, together with surgical wards and quarters for animal patients, ere essential. Modern facilities for research are desired for tha study of diseases of animals alone, as well as diseases of animals consnunicable to man. In addition to the requirements for research, graduate and undergraduate laboratories, classrooms for training of both agriciiLtural and veterinary students are essential, Tho building needs of the department of animal pathology and hygiene should, if possible, be coordinated with the veterinary college buildings.

Dr. Marietta Stevenson, Rrofossor of Social Mninistration, reports that there Is an Incroasln,^ demand for home economists in the social service field. Research in all areas needs to be expanded in order to strengthen the teaching: proi^ram. Some courses for non-home economics majors are now offered, and the number should bo increased. There is demand for persons trained in hotel mana-iiement , and several home economics departments offer Guch training. We are including . space in the proposed building for teaching such a course. These aj:?ditions to our curriculum should stimulate re/::istration in the Department, The enlar5;ed pro^^ram yill require additions to the staff. The number v/ill depend upon the increases in student enrollment and the scope of the research. We are no teaching three courses in the Occupational Therapy curriculum. These are taueht in the Roman's Building, A considerable ajnoimt of our research in the area of food is of direct value to agriculture, II.. PRESEKT SPACE The first unit of this building was built in 1905. The addition was built in 1913c In 1940-41, which we have taken as the last normal year, we occupied 23,000 square feot of space.

The estimated floor space for a new building includes two apartmonts, each adequate to hnuse four or five students find a resident instructor. The lack of storage spaco is one of our serious difficulties. We are handAcappod in the amount of illustrative material that wo can have for use in classes because wo do not havo the storage space for it. A great deal of hone economics work is laboratory work. At the present time, laboratories are crowded. Kosearch and undergraduate teaching nrust be carried on in the srjno laboratories. There is no space in our building for our larger classes and v/e havo no provision for teaching by the demonstration method, A large lecture room eqmpped for giving demonstrations is badly needed, III. KST-Wiffi DEV^OPIvENT There is every reason to believe that the increase in the number of registrations which was taking place when the war cene will continue following the war period. The eu3celerated interest in human food and nutrition caused by the war is likely to continue, since the public has become conscious of the important role food plays in health. There is also growing interest in the field of child development and family relations.

DIVISION LOAD The Division novod Into Its precant quarters In tho Old J^ri- culturo Building atout 1913, and pinco thon it has oxprndod into the court rooms 128 and 129 (hollow tilo construction) about 1928, fjid has occupied more space on tho second floor of tho oast wing (about 1935) and on tho second floor of the nain section of the building (Room 218). Om" present instructional lood relates to one course in tho intermediate group and 5 graduate courses. We have 3 staff members on the teaching staff and a normal stiodent rogistration of about 40 per yopx. The course on mnthods of vitamin assay, just rpproved, will probably attract IC to 15 graduate students initially and probably more later. We have no means of e^rt.imating probable expansion in instructional load during the post-war period and later. The activities of tUc Division, v/ith its 14 rtaff members (includ- ing 3 OPS men) are very largely of rji experiment tl and research nature at the present time, financed by state and federal funds and grants from industrial organizations. It is expected that, in the post-war period, greater demrxids may be made on our research services both by government agencies, especially if O.S.R.D. STjrvives the war, erA by industrial organizations. Our prograA of research supported by state fijinds end U.S.D.A, funds has steadily expanded in the last 20 years and it is hoped and expected that it v/ill continue to do so. The Division performs technical services for other divisions of the Department in the rpy of routine analyses of feeds and rations, and occasionally special analyses for vitamins, minerals, etc. In Animal r, • J .• cro:, 8r ^ •>■,,-!>.

III. PRESEOT SPi^E Tho Division of iinincl Kutrition now occupies 16 rooms, covering 7174 -Square feot of floor SDace, in the "500" wing of the Old ^ricultural Building, Much of this wing was made over for the use of this division about 1913, altho-ugh the wing itself is much older. The walls are of brick; the floors -^f the first floor only are of concrete, and tho interior is mainly of wood construction. ITo part of the viinr; is fireproof in ariy sense of the v/or J , Neither the size, shape, construction, n:>r the arrangemont of rocn'j is satisfactory for tho chemical cnif. biological research aiitirities of this division. Wo ai'O so restricted as to spp.ca that one of the r.ost important activities of the division, namely the training of graduate students, is definitely limited to four or five majors in this field. The teaching activities of the division are in tho hojids of Professors H.H, Mitchell ajid T. S. Ha-nilton ar:.?lDr . B. Connor Johnson. With this teaching personnel, assisted by eleven additional ryseerch staff members, an'^ with over 200 published contributions, mainly in scientific journ-us, the Division of Animal Nutrition should attract at least ten timG;s the number of graduate students which can now be accommodated. In addition to lack of space and suitable facilities, the following are a few of the handicaps under which the division now ajid has been operating: r „. . \{ :' :7. ■ ■: "Mr ' • - • } .• - ■ ■ •■ '^ :J. 7'"C.t(y, •(...,,... f : ■C l:\; ■J .' .'■■^It ■A?; •r: ri: TVil. jinlnnl Nutrition Laboratory - pof^a 4 Sec, 4 — 16 1.

Our very sonsitivo s'ooctroohotonator, photoelectric colorln.otor, and photofluorometar arc elso on tho second floor which not only shckos., but, bocaxise of loose windows, doors, floors, ceilings, and walls, are subject to dust, dirt and li,p;ht sonircos. These instrunents cannot bo satisfactorily used under these conditions, 3. The electric wiring is so /greatly loaded that, not only are wo continually blowing fuses, but the fluctuation in voltage fron capacity loading, naliies it impossible at tines to use some of the instrunents nentlonod above. 4. Water facilities are inadequate in most of our laboratories and we cannot use some sinks, 5. Practically every window leaks so badly that v/hen it rain§, buckets are set on the sills to partially prevent water fron flooding the roons and ruining Instruments, 6. With the exception of one laboratory, all are adjacent to the tin roof covering the cantor area of the buildiiis:. TcnporaturGS of 114 F. ffxe connon in these rooms during the summer. 7. Much of our animal research work is discontinued, during tho sunner because of inadequate air-conditioninc^ for our animal roons, 8. Our experimental work with snail laboratory animals is carried out in an environnent filled with roaches, nice and occasionally rats. In snite of splendid cooperation from the Sanitary Engineer's office, there seems to be no permanent relief from this condition. ;iM :'...: r*- ' :'.(i'l ::0^:i:ih't^ : .-?••>'•• iCH ■i -.iW " ■/■•','?.'; . .^vr ■■" • V :( ^.c f ■ ri^ !' •'' "f - ■■ * f • '' ■ j^lnal Nutrition Laboratory - ptRe 5 Sec. 4 — 17 9, Thoro is not fi piarla room availablo for stcff oonferences, Benlnar classes, etc. 10. Work with "trace" mineral olenonts is done under post unr- satisfactory conditions. The shfikin^ of sensitive "baltjices and other instruments, the unsteadiness of electric currents, and the loose con- struction of the rooms, making dust unavoidable, are some of the difficulties encountered, 11.

'J7ithout the use of these, we simply could not keop perishable sampler, sup-'lics ojid solutions., 16. Our s-oace facilities at present prevent all but a minimum of research in swine end poultry nutrition. This is a deplorable condition especially in view of the need of such information and particularly in a state in v/hich the swine and po-ultrj^ industries are of such magnitude. iic to the possible use of the snace evacuated by the Division of Animal Nutrition, provided nexv spf.ce is -^iven, it would make room for some of the expansion of certain groups in the College of Liberal Jirts and Science - an expansion obviously necessary in the Imreriiate future. ^f* 'v«> -f ;i?.'.. e*. .' ■ *f. ■ '.

PROPOSED m:: sp^jde On two previous occasions octinates of space needed "by the Division of Anincl Nutrition, have "been made. In 1939, the estin^.te was 12,000 square feet. The ostirate r.o.d.o in 1942 called for the sejie area. The present estimate calls for 40 roons of various specifications total- ing 14,000 si-iuaro feet. Basement and first floor space would be required .for large animal r?oms, large pieces of equipment such as metabolism stalls and crates, respiration chambers, storasjo, etc. Second :ind third floors could be used for offices, snail animal laboratories, chemical laboratories, etc. The followins; is a list of rooms, many of v/hlch call for special construction and facilities, needed by the Division of Animal Nutrition; 1 office for Head, of the division 1 office for associs.te chief of division 1 office for secretarial staff 1 office for abstractor 1 ^r 2 rooms for files pnf^ reprints j room for abstract card file 1 calculating room 1 fireproof vr.ult 1 fireproof room for expensive chemicals, volatile solvents, ate, 1 large laboiatcry for general cV-nice^ work (electric ovens, furnaces, ventilat iiifr hoods, extraction £r)r)aratus, etc.) 1 larc'se student laboratory 1 especially constructed room (dark) for s-oecial apparatus such as spectrophotometers, photofluoiometers, electric colorimeters, etc. 1 bacteriological laboratory with autoclaves, incubators, microscopies, pH meters, etc. ti'.r ■.'^y- ' ''*•?

FUTUHE BEVEI/PMENT It is hoped and expected that, sonetine in the future, because its field extends beyond dopai'tnentd limits, tlie l)lvision of Aninal Nutrition will become a sopprate Department in t:ie College of J^riculturo, or will be cJbsorbed into a general nutrition department. Such an adminis- trative reairangenent should stimulate a coordinated expansion riong all lines of nutritional research, and should aid in attracting graduate students interested in the field of nutrition but having no special interests in animal husbandry. :> \ ■•'' T , .. .1\' 0. ■■ j^.lnrl Nutrition Laboratory - page 8 Sec, 4 — 20 If c. Food Institute 1b established nt the University of Illinois, according to tontr.tivo plans, the irtpet-us of this new organization of cJLl interests pertaining to food production and use, should extend to the Division of Anlmrl Nutrition, both with rofarence to teaching and to research. VII. SUI^iSY Tlie Division of Minal Nutrition, with tv/o full professors, one assistant professor, and eleven rosearch staff mernbars, occi^^ies at present 16 rooms, totaling 7174 squrro foet of floor space in the Old i^ricultural Building. The space occupied is entirely inadequate both v/lth respect to area and construction. Toaching .r^iid resoajrch are severely United particularly by insufficient electric power, improper construction of walls, floors, and vdndows, and unsteadiness of floors, water drainage, vacuxjn and air-pressure line, by insufficient refrigeration and air-conditioned aninal rooms. An estimate of adeq-ua.te space calls for about 40 rooms, many of which sho-old be especially constructed or furnished, and a total floor space of 14,000 squcjre feet. Basement and first floor rooms are required, although second and third floor rooms cr.-uld plso bo used. In order to maintain its intimate contacts with other science divisions, both in instructional erA resepxch fields, the Division of Animal Nutrition should be hor.sed in reasonable proximity to these divisions, and should not be isolated from them on the fer south campus, A considerable ejqpansion in teaching raid research in animal nutrition ney be expected in future years, particularly if all nutrition work is centralized and coordinated in a general nutrition department, or es an integral p&rt of a Food Institute.

DEPARTMENT LOAD The j^ronomy Department teaches fo-ur under^radiiate, 13 advanced \indargraduate and graduate, and six graduate courses. The uresent Instruc- tional load is not hefevy, as this work is distributed among tho staff, most of whom are engc^od in both teaching and research, a few being ongagod in research only. As a policy, the department has held down to a minimum tho number of co^u-ses offered. The totf>l reg5.stration in /igronoray courses fcr the throe-yeor period just passed is ao follows: Academic Yesr To tal Registration 1940-41 773 1941-42 555 1942-4J 343 It is expected that, in tho post-war period, th?- registration will return to tho peak rerjched in 1940-41, but it is doubtful if it will greatly exceed that. Some increase could be handled without rjiditional staff. However, our teaching load may be greatly increased in the post-wrj period and beyond by demands for a short course and extension courses in agriculture;, by doraends for short courses for special groups as farm managers, land appraisers, soybean processors, and the like; by an influx of foreign students; by a greatly stimulated interest in reseerch work leading to an expanded graduate school; end. by demands for special instruc- tion from industry, as the hybrid seed corn industry. If these demoUids develop to the point where action is necessary, then certain staff ad.dltions with corresponding space additions v/'^uld be required.

A groat deal of natoriol has to bo carried from tho Old to the Hew igriciilturc'l Building and back again for classes. Classrooms, both lecture and recitation, are badly needed, v/hich are equipped for exhibiting and using d^emonstration material and shoTsring slides. Tha department is obligated by official agreements to house certain cooperating agencies, as the Soil Conservation Service and Divisions of Cereal and Forage Cr->ps and Diseases, U. S. Department of Jigriculture, It also maintains for the public a soil testing 'jervice which requires considerable laboratory space. The services rendered the public by our extension specialists in soils and crops are significant, and they arc expected to expand greatly in the post-war period and beyond, iigrorioray is primrxily a research department, Thile much of its experiment pi work is conducted in the field, a significant pert is done in the IcJboratory, Hence, well equipped laboratories fire needed for chemical analyses of soils, fertilizers, and crops; "ohysical analysis and classi- fication of soil tjrpas; examination of crop and v/oed seeds; determination of test weight, disease damage, and moisture content of grain in connection with yield tests; bacteriological and pathologicrl investigations of soils and crops, etc. In the post-v/ar period increased food production will likely be stressed, calling for additional research ejid hence additionr'l man -power. •> ••■?

The Old iigriculturrl Building was constructec? of brick about 190:^; r.nd is inadequate sjid unsaitablo for the following; reasons, 1, Faulty arr8xif;ernent results in dividir^ the v/ork of sir:p,0.e divisions and in waste of space, Lcx^o laboratories do not pernit different types of chenical work which interfere with each other and nust be separated, 2, Thare is almost conplote lack of individual laboratories for division heads or other members of the staff. The Icr^s laboratories designed for under2;raduate student use cannot be efficiently used for staff research work, 3. Tlie lack of sufficient and well equipped classroom sr>ace has already been nentionod, 4. Condition of buildin<2; is poor. Goilinc^s are iQaky and periuit dirt fron attic or floors to sift tlirou^h. Most floors in cheniccjl labor- atories are splintery and dusty and prevent accurate chemical work. Much trouble is exr)eriencod from defective plunbin^ and radiators. •• ! J i:': :;;■ Jiprnnorjy Laborntorios - "^cj^o 4 Soc. 4 — 21 The j^ronorjy Department Is not able to release any of the apace it now occupies for other University needs till space is provided in a new building. The proposal has been made that, when such space is pro- vided, the Chemistry and Bacteriology Departments will take over the Old i^ricultural Biiilding. The present greonhoTiso space under glass amounts to 6,000 square feet, the adjacent wire enclosure being 1,500 square feet. The glass houso was built more then 30 years ego end is not suitable for present needs. Rooms are Icrgo, costly to hec.t, c:n.d cannot be controlled as to temperature and huraidi^,y. Furthermore, there is no sorvice building or space for storego of soil, or for preparation of soil, potting, and other work. Results are also adversoly affected by proximity of trees end buildings to the south. III. rOST-WAR lEVET.OPL^SM Plans drawn up by the sep;u8.te divisions of the depertmerx to- gether with contemplated increases in staff members are as follows: 1. Soil Fertility . To fulfill its obligation to the state a modest increase in mrji power in the form of a permanent, stabilized status shall have beon reached (about six years) a.ra as follows: One full-time soil chemist for research in new fertilizers, their soil reactions, pltjit availability, and the chemical soil require- ments for extra high yields (up to 200 bushels of corn or equivalent in other crops Dor acre) , One full-time biochemist to develop the field of crop nutrition and metabolism and the application of spectroscopy and micro chemistry to this v/ork. This work also embraces the relation of soils sjnd plant com- position to animal and human nutrition. ■■*.■-.■:»: O-.,' ; ffcr.

This work Is InrjdGquatoly attanptod by hoTir-work by students. One of these nny be divided into throe prxt-tine positions. One full-tino nan in the newly Inaugurated Soil Testing Service, with prospect of further incroasa. This was Initiated with ono nan half of whoso salrry is pernanontly provided, the other half boinr^ borrowed from a. ^ ncn on nilitary leave. One half-tine clerk for naking ccnputations and keeping records to supplenent the fuil-tlne present position as a result of the expansion. 2. Sol] Physics . Stock Ponds. The increasing shortage of water and the entire absence of underground water in some regions of the state indicate the need for si.orage ponds. In some regions of the state seepage from the ponds constructed decreases or entirely destroys their usefulness. A state wide study is needed prior to the widespread construction of ponds to determine the regions where seepage is a danger, the causes of seapaso and methods of overcoming the difficulty. One qualifiod man and lalDoratory space for one man arc needed for the study of this problem. Deterioration in the Physical Condition of Soils. Observation cjnd the testimony of farmers indicate that some of our best soils are deteriorating physically. The symptoms observed are increasing difficulty of forming seedbeds and Increasing poor underdralnege. A ncji well trained in soil ph^z-sics and the necessary laboratory space should be provided for th3 study of this problem. •■jr- /. ■- ■. o; ■■'.-f.' iigronomy Laboratorlos - pogo 5 Soc. 4 — 26 3. Soil S^TTvey . The new posit ions planned are: Tvvo men for the field and laboratory stvidy of soil correlation problems, one for the northern and one for the southern part of tlio stato. The reason for these positions is that the validity of detailed mapping depends on the correct identification and correlation of soil types. This phase of the work has not been dovelopod as much as it should have boon with tho result that the detailed mayping has proceodod without adoquato guidance. One f\iLl-timo and four half-time party members. The full-time men provide staff stability and the part-time men develop for replacements. One full-time physical laboratory and one full-time chemical labor- atory nanw These men are necessary to provide the data upon which corre- latirns are in part basod. One full-time cartographic draftsman. The drafting of soil maps requJ.ros a high order of drafting skill prJ also specialized skill which comes only with experience. ExporiencG has shown that getting the ink work done by bid is expensive and the results unsatisfactory. The hiring of architectural engineering students is more satisfactory; however, the lack of continuity of service associated with their emploxTnsnt and therefore the necessity of training new men frequently results in work of varying quality. The overall justification for the above positions is that the increasing demands for soil maps mckres it imperative thr.t a reasonable acreage be mapped each year if the State Soil Survey is to survive. The expansion planned provides for a survey staff considerably smaller than that formerly oirployed. jlgronomy Lrboratorlos - pr^o 7 Sec. I — 27 Futuro Dovelopmunt.

If vjq assmie that the post-wrr period will last as lorii,- as 10 yopjrs after the cJose of the war, the proposals node will s"ffice so far as we can anticipate future needs at this tine. It is believed thc.t certain readjustments ejid possible lut not certain additions nay be necessary beyond the 10~year period. It is certain that the denand for icnowledge will be strong &rA that the University nust continue to maintain a vigorous, adaptable, ajid expanc^.ing research program, V. SUI^/IARY The present resident teaching of the department is not heavy and can be handled adequately even aLlowii:'x^ for some increases above the peak enrollment reached in 1940-41. Hov/evcr, if short courses and ex- tension courses are added, and there occurs a marked increase in graduate students, certain additions to the staff nay be required along with certain space additions. In the nadn, our "oresent problem is not so much sufficient instructional staff as sufficient and ajdequately equipped classroom space. jfe-ronomy is primarily a reseaxch department and hence there is need for laboratory space. Much of the data are obtainable from field ez- periraents conducted at various locations in the state. For the soil survey i^ronony Laboratorios - pr\i:;o 11 Soc. 4 — 31 it night b3 said thct tho ctate is its le.boratory. Ail the divisions of the depart-nont gathor aiid uso data obtained from stations or plots l:)catod In different prrts of the state. The extent of tho research work of the dopartnent, therefore, is not indicr.ted by the OTiount of floor st^ace actually in use on the canT)us. This is TDaxticulr.rlv true of tho S'^il Ex- periment Fields division. Too nuch stress crnnot bo put on importance of greenhouse facilities in connection with ovir research v/ork. The uao of a greeniiouse which is v/oll proportioned, arranged, ?jid located, can shorten tho tine necessary foj.- dovolopmont of improved strr.ins of crops through breeding. It al^-o serves as a miniature field for experiments on seed treatment, effect iven-icis of legirie inoculants, application of fertilizers to different soil tj-pes, and the like. We rre, theref.j.'o, requ3sting an increase in spaco of 44 r>3rcont over the present ::reenhouse r.^:P.cQ, Present space^ 6,000 sq. ft.; requested, 8,640 sq. ft.

To meet increased demands which will most certainly be placed on the staff cliuring the post-war period and beyon.i , we arc reaues'^.ins: rnd have outlined neecs for 28 full-time and 9 hsif-time a-^ditionol staff members. It is thought these additions would be made over a period of 10 to 20 years. Much of the research work of the department is concerned with long-time projects.

HORTICULTURAL FIELD LABORATORY The use now made of the Horticultural Field Laboratory is quite different from the original plan at the time it was first occupied in 1923. At that time the building was set up as the main headquarters for teaching and research work on the South Farm, The building then was not equipped for the specialized type of rosoarch under way in the Department at the present tirrc. The following cjialysis of the changes is b?sDd upon the present needs of the Divisions of Pou.ology, Pathology, and Vegetable Crops, all of which, occupy a prrt of the bu^ldin.^-. The plans v/hich have been discussed during the present winter months include some changes in the spaca occupied by the Division of Plant Pathology to raf>Jco room for three spccializGd laboratories in v/hu'i is now room 113. The division would also be assigned rccms 8 and 9 in the basement, and possibly room 7 in which would be plojeed the air-conditioning equipment for the clavacin research now lender way. This plan calls for cutting e. stairway into the basement from the front hall in order to moice the basement sp£x;e more sccessible. Wo.en this is done, the east wing of the building, now room 101, can be changed to meet the more specialized research in the physiological and chemical laboratory and also possibly the fraa.t products laboratory. These chariges are in prospect and much depends "opon the type of eq^iipment which will be needed or can be obtainad for these specialized studies. As a result of the changes proposed to accomodate the work of the Divisio:: of Plant Pathology it is proposed to put the rough field work of the .Division of Vegetable Crops in room 111 and in the basement, room 6 immediately below. Horticultural & Fl<->rlculture Buildings - pngo 2 Soc. 4 — 34 At q result of these chaJ"'^os it is propoeod to move tlio prosont cidor end washirv: equipmont in room 111 to Dora 103 in the snuthv/ost wln^, Tontrtivo plans havo boon rnado by tho FhyGical Plant Dopartnont undor date of Docombor 3, 1943 for a pfrt of tho cheon^^oG v/hich v/lll involve putting in partitions, fixing nv tho floors and also tho installation of coillngs in some of the rooms. If the building is used in this way, the factory typo of windov/ which was installod when the building was built will have to be changed over to the modern windows as has boon done in the front part of the building. In all there are 41 windo77s invjlvod in these changes which would be necessnry in order f,or the building to be heated propoi'ly. Considerable thoTJsht and discussion have beon srivon to these plans cjid an attempt has been made to make the build in.^; adaptable to the research of the divisions concerned and cl^ to pat somo of the specialized lines of study such as the virus diseases in special iznd individucl labor- atorios. The frontport of the building will bo used for the offices of that pert of the teaching and research staff quartered at the laboratory as at present, 1. Heating C a-pacity . The two boilers Installed at the Horticul- tural Field Laboratory were sufficient to take care of the entire building the way it was used. In the proposed development it is quite probable that the present heating cap.'^.city of these boilers would have t'^ bo supplemented. After the proposed chrngos in the windows are uado, the situation will be helped somev/liat but it would be impossible to e:ctend the laboratory area in thj building without giving some attention to the heating. The research greeniiouse at the Horticultural Field Laboratory is heated from the seme system as the buil'r'inc': and the capacity of the boilers is taxed severely during the low temDerature extremes. ^ \ - ^ i ■ tJ^ ^ Ayy* I -^V ■.?,-* ' •.:s-ji''.'C^''^'v Horticultural & Florlcult-ire BMldliige - po^o 3 Sec. 4 — 35 2, Stora/^o Mrghinery . Tho cooling system in the storo^os has boon in operation since tho builc* in,^" was first occupiocl. It is probable that within tho next fow yonrs attention will have to bo £:ivon to c ronowal of tho cooling system. If this is c^onc, it is pror)osod to nako provision to cool Qt least two of the snaller roons in the builclinf2; vvith sr.aTl, separate coolirc? units so that these coulrl be oporater\ independently of tho {general storage. This would nako it possible to have tenoeraturo roons available for research during tho sun^ner raonths without going to the expense of running the general pystoni which is needed primarily in late surirner and fall when the stored fruit is at a maxinun. It woulc! be difficult to estimate the cost of the changes suggested without a crreful analysis of tho details of constr-uction, the noving of equipment, the installat-ion of old cquipnont and cartain items of new equip- ment which are needed. A rou.i:h estimate of the changes siiggosted in includ- ing any sup''lem3nt to the present hoating system would probably cost in the neighborhood of tvontyr-f ive to thirty thousand dollars, II. FLORICULTTJRiL BUILDISrS The following changes shoiild be made at the Floricultural Building in order to make provision for the work as it has now developed. 1. Potting Room and Pro->c?gatinT House . We suggest that the east half of the second greenhouse to the west of the corridor be transformed into a potting room. This can be done by removing the glass roof and sub- stituting an opaque roof which will both keep out the sun and shed the water. In doing this, we can maintain a row of ventilators on each side of the ridge which will serve not only for skylight, but also be chajiged to ventilafc- ing sash, so that they nay be opened for good circulation.

In the rovision of the first-floor rooms in the Vegetable Groonlio-usc b'uilc' ing two years ago the work room to the west of t".;9 central passage (Room 107) was converted to a classroom. Provision should bo mejde to replace this working siace by adding a unit comparable to the one propos3d in Floriculture vith suitable basement storage space, work benches. 9r>M b'n-:, vool cases, etcetera. The width should correspond to the green- house opposite and the length should be suitable for Horticult^jre 1 class use for a part of the year. Estimated cost: $4000.00. IV. NEW SPACE FOR THE mP-SRTl'IENT OF HORTICULTURE In taking the long look at the needs of the Department of Horti- culture the following points should be taJcen into consideration. First, it is proposed to base the teaching in the Department on tho mttn campus rather than in the outlying buildings such as the Horticulturol Field Laboratory. Second, if and when Goodwin Avenue is extended, the present Floricultural building and the Vegetable Crops building as well vvill have to be abandoned. Third, in view of these two moves in prospect provision should be made in the proposed laboratory building of the College of Agriculture to take iro the slack (-^aid bring the Department of Horticulture in closer contact with the other plant sciences in tho College. If this v/ere done, the needs of the Department would have to be studied in detail at that time in order to ■'t.. ■■,f—:.- -\ f HortlcultuTfd & Floriculturo Buildings - pG';i ' >.»^^I4 Sgc. 1 — 42 PROJECT J&. 3d mTl SPACE FOR EEPARTMEirr OF FORESTRY I.

If history repeats itself many veterans will seek admission to pre-forestry and forestry curricula in order to prepare for sn out-of-door profession. Forty or more students fnight be enrolled in the pre-forestry curriculum at Illinois. The normal teaching load is probably 20-30 students in the general forestry coiorse, which is required of pre-forestry stiadents and is operi to others, ^ith three million acres of timborlsjid to put under management and three million acres of open land requiring r«?forestr,tion, those who are beiiig trained to assist land owners end. those who 'sill return to farms need at least one course dealing with tho application of forestry principles to Illinois land problems. A farm forastry course for prospective farm advisers, vocational agriculture teachers, soil conservationists, and students of general agriculture has been prepared to fill this need when the war ends, (Registration in this course should average 30-40 students). Research in forestry (the experiment station activity of the department) is basic to development and economic use of some six million acres of Illinois land. The organization of the minimum research program now authorized requires laboratory and greenhouse snace and equipment which has not yet been made available. Extension Service activities nay expand but will prob&bly require only one additional office. Departmont of Ibrestry - pvgo 2 Soc. 4 — 43 II. PRESENT SPXE Six officos, approximately 1260 pq. ft.

Usually 12 to 15 of the enrollment consists of Home EconoraicB girls. The registration in Animal Husbandry 10, the course in sla\i°:htering, cutting and processing, h?s necessarily boon limited to 12 students because of space limitations. In order to handle this m£Uiy students, it has been necessary to divide them into two sections. Animal Husbandry 24, the course in moat judging, has been limited to 8 students becai^se of lack of ad.equato facilities. It is quite probable that the post war period will bring us additional numbers of stT:idents in meats. With the grov/ing iinportance of the freezer locker bacincss, it appears that it will be necessary to add at least one course on this subject. Much research has been conducted by the Meats Division and the Meats Division has assisted other divisions of the Department, as well as other departments of the University in their research problems. Physiological chemistry, physiology, zoology, ajiimal pathology, home ocononics and others call upon us to slaughter aninals or to provide materiel for their research ajnd class wrrk. In 1943, the Division slaughtered 109 cattlo, 61 hogs, 90 sheep, 921 chickens, 24 rabbits, 1 vjol calf and 6 goa;js, in connection ^r-ith the research f.nd class work of the Meats Division and other divisions and departr^ents, II „ PRES'ilTT S^P.-iCE Our total floor area is 3900 nqu^xe feet, including a small slaughter house, 375 square feet, which is located in the Stock Judging Pavilion.

The third story or attic is hot in summer and cold in winter; it is "unceiled and has insufficient headroom to be used for any purpose except storr^e, and tho struct-ural condition definitely limits tho s-cace for sto^-ago purposes. Thus, the ground floor and the second floor are the only areas usable for cla:;s, lab::^ratory and res:;arch. On these floors, the toilets and storrirooms rro dark, tho ^intire spac ? is divided at random, foi* offices and laboratories with no possibility of an effective organized arrfjigenent. T-i:re is one smpll auditorium, capacity 150, and one snail classroom, capacity 30, available for classes.

There appears to be no practical or eco- nomical way of remodeling present facilities to meet the needs of at lear>t two of its divisions. Dairy Bpnteriology and Chemistry. These two divisions, to function most effectively, should be closely identified with Dairy Manu- factures and, if X-Joasible, housed in the some bur.ldingc The housing problem of the depa^traent is, therefore, one of re- location Oj' Dairy Bacteriology and Chemistry.

DEPARTMENT LOAD The accompaning charts indicate the growth in numbers of Dairy Manufacturing and Dairy P reduction students from 1935 to 194C inclusive. The normal expected increase in students together with requerts coning to the department from men in the armed forces indicate that the teaching load when resumed will require an enlarged staJf and more and better ph^'-sical facilities. The dairy industry is growing in Illi:iois and in this central area and the Dairy Depai-tment is mai:?ng plans, especially i:i its research program, to meet in full its obligaT:ion to an expanded industry. Much of the equipment now used in research is antiquated cud must be replaced if the department is to attract the best students, especially graduate students, and hold the respect of industry. Members of the department are especially anxious to do both. \ r.7. -\::^n m I ■ ^ i^ ^ r Ho ^0 a> ^ ^ T) ^ (K k r»^ ^ V. 71 c c s; u 1) ^frj rt vc S2 o u V ^ 65>v :^^^pn^^ . !- ■ '."1 ■> > •v^; T\jo/:^^j::fs^/b^j :^uBpn^gr ~* -,«k -v .-- .. ■ '■"• ■"..■<'• Dairy Manuf actiirors Building - pr.ge 2 Soc, 4 — 56 II. PRESENT S?i\CE A survey of the needs indicate that it requires approximatoly 30,000 sq. ft. of floor space in addition to that now provided in the present Dairy Manuf act\ires Building to meet the needs of all divisions of the department. The construction of a Dairy Industries Building using the present Dairy Maiufactures Bmlding, remodeled where necessary, as a part of the structure could provide adequiite facilities. This construction would accomplish two objectives. It would bring together all divisions under one roof and avoid duplication of equip- ment, expensive installations, etc., now necessary. Furthermore, this arrangement would release approximately 8, COO sq-uare feet of space in the Old ^riculture Building, III. F.'^T-Wili DEVELCPMEKTS The dairy industry perhaps more than other food industries is undergoing basic changes. Dehydration may revise certrin da^.ry practices exteiiding even to production on the farm. This tender/^y to nrko more complete use of the ncn fat fraction of milk along with another to reduce butter fat to oil and use the fat in that form for manufacturing purposes indicates clearly the progresfaivo viewpoint of the industry. The department in its resoorch progran must anticipate these changes. In its teaching it must find the facts for presentation to its students. It is apparent that the departraont will need to re-establish all positions vacated by staff raembors now in the armed forces. In addition it is anticipated that four to five new staff members will be required. (. ; r ■:-;•' .? ', r ■•• Dairy Monufacturors Building - pago 3 Soc. 4 — 57 IV.

Fiu*thormoro, many activities of this department and we presume likewise of Animal Husbaiidry, have been hampered because of a lack of such facilitios. The proper demon- stration of the results of experiments and any ar.tivity involving a con- siderable number of animals, was almost impossible because of the time elemeut in hauling animrJs to pad from the dairy barn. If they could have been hauled when tine and other barn operations pemitted and held until used, we could have been much nore offecti-ve in presenting t"i:e results of our experimentation.

Three of the five \inits or:'^inally planned were constructed. The central section intended to provide facilities for handling milk and including a class room for jud^in^ purposes and to accGirinodato delegations visiting the barn, was not completed. The "box stall section badly needed to provide calving quarters was likewise omitted. Thor.G unitr? have been redesigned to incluc.e new developments and improvement not known when the original plans wore made and the depextnont recommends tho construc- tion of thise newly designed units, I. DSL^iRTIffii^lTiiL L'J.:J) Construction recommended at the Pure Bred Dairy Barn is self evideiit.. As a matter of general policy in orrlor to be assured of dairy products of the high;^st qu:lity to be served at Ill:.]ii Union and other units of the Univer- sity, the Dairy Department has under caksn to produce the milk processod and distributed by the University Creamery. The present milk house at that brrn is a reiuodeled structure oiiginally used to house calves at the old born on the campus. The ^eason this had to be done was because the central section of the Pure Bred Barn dosigned for the purpose was never buij t . The present milk house constructed fCmost twenty years ago as a temporary building is still in use. The present ar-rangement is neither economical nor appropriate and this condition should be corrected, II. PEE3S:^1T SFiiCE It is net so much a matter of aiding new floor space as it is providing proper facilities.

In addition to the ?tbove space, the Electrical En^neerlng Depart- ment is now usinf3 11 classrooms and one office rcom in Engineering R-J.1 and one classroom in the Transportation Building, ^ith the one exception men- tioned ahove, all department staff offices are in the Electrical Engineering Buildings, The inconvenience and inefficiency caused iDy having offices in one building and classes in other Iruildings, where demonstration apparatus is desirable, are obviouso The machine laboratory is divided into two rooms moro than 100 feet apart, one of which is on the second floor of Area Wo, 1, and the other on the first floor of the western end of Area No. U, The wooden laboratory floor in Area No. 1 permits excessive vibration of" the whole floor, Binding post screws work out and pivots of delicate instruments are damaged. This also contributes to inaccurate data. Loosening up of screws and contacts have contributed to several cases of severe damage to equipment. Noise and vibra~ tion due to the type of floor and construction are excessive and extend to the floor above where the offices and electronics and ultra-high frequency laboratories are located. This is not only annoying but it interferes with work and is very tiring. Due to necessity for more equipment in the past, it has been necessary on two different occasions to move the machine benches closer together. As a re stilt, the working space around the machines is in- adequate for safety as well as convenience. Six or eight men working on two different experiments, together with tables holding instruments and wiring, are often crowded into a space of about six feet by eight feet,. >i ;;■ :'iv^'^ ;, J 'v;^ -J^ '-:•""■ {i^'W ::o":sr;/'-3;vfi.v . • ..♦,><- !■ * , •. • V ..«t ■ rf -•::r;{T'V 'he •?»/•«> •- i .• * . .. i~V .< .. ..

Electrical Eneineering - page 10 Sec. 5 — 12 The instrument room is located abo\it midway "between the two laboratory uoms. This general arrangement leads to less efficient use of machines and instructors, and considerable shiftin'^ of semi-portable equip- ment. The instrument room should open into or be closely adjacent t.j the laboratory for mpjcimura efficiency. At the present time, all our classrooms, not including that for ill-umi nation, are outside of the Electrical Engineering Building, excepting those cases where the classes meet in the laboratory for discussion, even though other laboratory classes are in progress at the same time. The latter arrangement is unsatisfactory but the alternative is to meet in some other building and, after class discussion, proceed to t}ie laboratory build- ing and continue the class period. This also is not satisfactory because of the waste of time. It is considered almost imperative that the classrooms have elec- trical circuits available for use in illustrating fundamental principles in theory courses. The present classrooms are not so equipped, and it would be very difficult to provide these circuits in most cases. Furthermore, although the circuits were made available, it would be even more difficult, if not impossible, to transport the demonstration equipment back and forth from one building to the other. This is illustrated at the present time by a course in electronics scheduled to meet in a room on the fourth floor of Engineer- ing Hall, A cathode ray oscilloscope and some other demonstration apparatus are considered desirable. However, carrying I50 pounds of equipment from the electronics laboratory on the top floor of the electrical engineering labora- tory to this classroom and then taking it ba,ck again after class is too difficult.

With the exception of the classroom in the illunination laboratory, the department has no classroom adequately equipped for visual aids, and this one room is equipped for illumination work only. If the proposed new space is provided, the present space cannot be used profitably by the Department of Electrical Enj^ineering, The proposal is intended to eliminate the scattering of classrooms, laboratories and offices, as well as inadequate or insufficient space, ^o matter how ade- quate the classrooms, if they are scattered or separated very far from the instruments and equipment, the difficulties of transporting demonstration instruments and equipment will prevent their use, IV. POST-WAR DEVELOPlffiUT Plans for post-war development are also included in plans for the future. It is believed that the post-war enrollment will exceed the normal future enrollment for only a short period of tine, A new building should be designed and constructed on a Icng-time basis, , All the floor space and facilities, including the new ones in the proposed building, are based on estimated long-time needs. About 10 per cent of the proposed space is new because of new developments during the war, and about 25 per cent is new be- cause of inadequacy of the present space in the electrical engineering build- ings which has existed for some time. About 30 per cent is due to the ex- pected increase in enrollment. The number of teaching staff members will probably be increased by eight to ten men as given in the estimate above under "Department Load", - r ■■x^/o •::r>i:t^ r.,. ...... .;.•:!

PROPOSSD NEW SPACE TLo proposed new spac^ shoiild "be in one peruanent building located as conveniently as possible within the En^^ineerin^ group on the campus. The building shculd be constructed with movable inner walls to make it i 3 flex- ible as possible, Tlie Murray Hill laboratory of the Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, erected about three years ago, is an outstanding example. The inner walls are made adjustable, so that any spr.^s may be expanded or contracted at will. The movable partitions have built-in electrical circuits and shielding and are accoubtically treated, thus giving all the advantages of a permanent construction in addition to great flexibility. All laboratories which may be affected by interference from any out- side source should be carefully shielded electrically. All floors should be provided with ducts or raceways so that now and in the future, outlets may be located at the most desirable points. The extra expense of such an arrangement of construction is relatively small when measured against the advantages of the flexibility thus provided. Also, race- ways should be provided around the walls of each room with ducts or raceways connecting to the floor network so that electrical circuits may be Installed to the most convenient points at any time in the future without involving large extra expenses and unsightly results. Provision has been made for research rooms, each of which may be used by one or two Individuals, It is the intention of the Department of Electrical Engineering that every man on the teaching staff will have ample space available for research. Also, additional space is provided for student research. Most of the research problems in electrical engineering will not require much research space, hence research on many different problems may be in progress at the same time.

If this type of construction is not too expen- sive, it should be nsei. "because it would prolong the usefxil life of the buildin.;, and add to its conveniencOo VII o sujfiiiAzr The Department of Electrical Engineering has never had a building designed especially for electrical engineering and hence increases in build- ing space have been obtained by taking over old buildings designed for other purposes. The present building is not only inadequate in available space, but also inadequate fron the standpoint of arrangenent of available space, Neighboring colleges have irrich more adequate space and fsicilitieSo They also present a far better ai?pearance. Predicting the future is at best an uncertain task. However, due largely to the influences of the war, a considerable increase in enrollment is to be expected during the post-war period with comparatively little decrease for the inmediate future years thereafter, provided adequate preparation is made to meet the needs. The total estimated floor area, exclusive of corridors and service rooms, needed for the proposed new Imilding is divided as follows? Sqc Ft .

Student enroll- ment varied within a narrow range of from 225 "to HOO students for the period "between 1921 and 1935. Following 1935 a tremendous expansion in student en- rollment occurred, in which the student load practically dou"bled in ten years time. In the years "between 19^ and 19^2, two out of five students registered in the Engineering College were also registered in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, :^-rry v^^-v; ....... ■j,:i.^ri, ')^/ ^-^-i- ■.:^^. ,■■■'•: i-^. ::>.}■■ :9,\-:'\^. 5ii>--'«.*i3$iM: .i^'v '■)}

The service extended to students in other departments of the University has constituted about 50 per cent of the total departmental load, 3o Increase in Staff Members . The curve for number of staff members shows that the number has remained practically constant over the period between 1921 and 19^4. At the same time the student enrollment practically doubled. In brief, a tremendous expansion in load has occurred in the past 10 years without any corresponding increase in the size of the staff, , U, Pro babble Increase in Instructional Load in Post- War Period . With the return of men from the armed forces the department can expect a de- cided increase in students. Out State Legislature has already passed legis- lation to further their education, and our Congress is considering appropriar- tions for more aid. In the post-waj* period, a temporary and sudden increase in student load is anticipated, similar to that experienced during the years from 1917 to 1919* during which period the enrollment was doubled. In the post-war period, the department should be prepared to handle a student registration of from 1200 to I5OO students, of whom many will be war veterans. Beyond the post-war period, the department should be prepared to handle registrar- tion of at least 1200 students, 5, Influence Tendin,^ to Stimulate Registration . The following are some of the influences tending to stimulate registration: a. Aeronautical Program , Du.ring the past 20 years the department has offered introductory courses in aeronautics, A marked increase in par- :* y-i' t^^-^xi-r.' i-i-i ■: ■ ■:-. o." •> ;; ,■1, ..K'*, Jf'i .

The aeronautical program of the department will require new space, now equipment, and new stai'f to talce care of the anticipated influx of student So Id, Internal Comhustion Engine s, Uo single phase of engineering has made such rapid strides as the field of internal corahustion engines and fuels, Power generation "by internal combustion engines will be of ever increas- ing importance, and the department anticipates that a heavy demajid for instruction a,nd research in such fields will exist, c. Production and Design , A large proportion of Mechanical Engineering graduates now enter, and will continue to enter, the field of design and production^ The offering of a correlated program in this field should stimulate student interests d. Metal and plastics Fabrication , Metal fabrication along the lines of powder metallurgy, welding, die casting, die forming, and perraanent mold castings, together with such developments as high-speed tool steel for metal cutting, induction heating and hardening, and time-study will require new approaches and new equijinent, e. Housing and Building . The department anticipates an increased demand in studies sjid research in housing and building fabricatioHc Such activi- ties will probably consist of heating, ventilating, air conditioning, ':.v^^■^ :»t-.:rC'' :.^ ^.^•'r:\;:•:■ ■:fi-:.V?:' '• o :/;■!■■ .r j; ■. ='•;■•■.-.> ,:..v/-t-:-i:o; '■:■,' v:l :"?!.!-.;-'"v:!r-r;G !.'i~?.«''.C<^.';?:'i i . f' ; •«>- ..... .. : . .

Research has been an import aiit phase of departmental activity, Tlie total number of publications by the Encinoering Experiment Station va*itten by the staff of the department from I9O5 to 15^ is 82, or approximately 20 per cent of the total issued by the Station, In Table 1 is shown a listing by subject matter, and in Fig, 2 is shown the yearly output of publications. In the early years, prior to 191^» much of the emphasis was on coal and corabu.stion of coal. Daring the years of I92O to 1932, a well balanced and diversified program of research was maintained, including re- search on fuels, combustion, fluid flow, heat transfer, thermodynamics, heating and ventilating, design, and metal processing. During the past 12 years research has been confined largely to heating, ventilating, and air conditioning studies, a large proportion of which has been carried on as co- operative investigations v/ith industry. The decline in the diversity of research projects in the past 12 years, follov/ing the depression years, coincides with the decline in the participation by the instructional staff in graduate study and research, and also with the marked increase in the load of our teaching staff. The con- clusion is inescapable that the heavy teaching load imposed upon the instruc- tional staff during the past 12 years, has not allowed time for professional development in the way of research, and in the production of technical papers and books. Research in Mechanical Engineering also depends to a large ex- tent upon sufficient space and equipment for conducting the experiments, both of which are lacking. -;x.:- ;•:.::■- ■ •'> ,v T^;:-r '.>/.: ' '.. ».v-i .•<■ + ' /' \ -..J" t> ."■.C '■,'■■ Xi,'-''' \'- f: :!■;••'»•• .■■ J . . • '"^j •'.:?«.' •• u. \:[:fi^':;'y,'' '-fy', y. .:?

The present staff and equipment are not adequate to take care of any anticipated increase of the undergradn.ate and graduate student loads in the post-war period, A complete discussion of the load in the post-war period and plans for development, the reasons for planning, and the necessity for an increase in the staff has been given elsewhere in this report, 2. Conse q uences of Failure to Acquire ITew Facilities . On the assumption that new facilities are not available in the post-war period, the department is faced with two alternatives: a. To lower its teaching standards by increasing the number of students handled in lecture and laboratory classes, or b. To turn away students by raising educational requirements. The first alternative would lead to poorer training for all groups of students. The department has felt it highly desirable to "personalize" the teaching by maintaining smaller numbers in classrooms, and particularly in laboratory sections, and feels that any lowering of teaching standards should be avoided. \i:\.t}. .:'• /.h':\ .?i^ ■M' • •■. ■..■:q- r-T ) If ■■ .'•..; o .; J.';. .. ■i.v'-.v".-/., Mechanical En/^ineorlng ~ pa{^o 13 Sec, 5 — 32 'D^e second alternative noy result in dcnyinr"^ trainin/^ to rotixming veterans, and others who have lost touch '.vith education for several years.

There is no industrial plarit easily accessible to '.bo Department which could "bo used to show students more advanced phases of mechanical developnento It is, therefore, imperative that fairly modern equipment he made availahle on the canpusj "bo Of some 3^ major pieces of mechanical equipment in the Power Lahoratory, only seven have "been installed since 153^» ^^-^ o^ these seven, four units axe small sized truck engines. The larger portion of the eqai3>- raent is from I5 "to 25 years old, which is "old a^'^e" in terms of mechnjii- cal en.^ineering developmento However, the main limitation is not so much the old age of existing equipment, r.s it is the lack of additional newer pieces of equipment that are commonplace items in indtistryo c, Spa£;e requirements around machinery must he ample in order to reduce hazards to strident operators and to facilitate instructiono The machine tool laboratory, especially, is crowded - more so than is im~ perative for safety. d. From the preceding discussion it seems evident that the acquisition of a new building will not satisfy the needs of the Department but new equipment must be provided also. Since, during any one year, it is not possible to secure a sufficiently large appropriation to permit the pxjquirement of a major piece of equipment, or at best not more than one such piece, it is imperative that at the time appropriation for the building is made, an additional appropriation for equipnent sufficient to provide for most of the necessary additional apparatus required must also be made. Mechanical En,a;lneorinp - po^o l6 Soc, 5 — 35 e. The Departnent recocnizos that the request for a comploto new t)Tilldin/=; and the necessary equipment for the vai'ious laboratories, requires a lar^e appropriation. It is, therefore, suggested that the projwsed 'bxiildin,': "be designed on the unit principle. Such a desi,;3-n v/ould permit erectin{^ the main 'b-uildini.^, which v/ould house the majority of bhe offices, classrooms and di-afting rooms, and a unit takin,^ care of the Shop Lahoratories, At a later date, a second unit could he added for housing the Mechanical Ent^ineering Lalsoratoryo V. FUTUBS lEVELOPMEHT lo Diversity of the Field of Mechanical En;^ineering , Mechanical Engineering-^ is a "basic division of engineering t-iat has grown concurrently with industrial development, and will flourish as industry flourishes. The graduates from the dep.artment enter such diversified industries as: Power generation Manufacturing processes Metal production, processing, and forming Fuel production and utilization Transportation »- air, land, and water Housing Food processing and storage The field is sufficiently diversified so that the denands for graduates are not materially affected "by temporary shifts in industrial activity from one phase to another.

Necessity for a Stron.?: Department , A strong department of Mechanical Enprineerlnf; adequately housed, well staffed, and well equipped with machine tools will be able to enter more actively into the industrial development of the state and the trainings; of its citizens. Such are the objectives of this departraento VI . SUlvCtAKY In the precedin;^ sections of this report, evidence was submitted showing that in the past eight or ten years, the instructional load of the Department has ijractically doubled with no increase in the teaching staff. It was also pointed out that the Department was badly in need of more equip- ment and space for laboratories, design and class rooms, and research in order to maintain a leading position in the new developments taking place in the rapidly expanding field of Mechanical Engineering, Due to the factors just mentioned, the Department finds itself handicapped when its work and activities are compared with those of Mechanical Engineering Departments connected with other institutions, UTith the development of the University' s aeronautical program, the Department of Mechanical Engineering plans to offer additional courses in Aeronautical Engineering, The proper hpn-lling of such courses requires more space, new equipment and additional personnel. •v.. • :;'i •K:r:.ivv Mechnnicol EiV';inoerin^ - pn^o 18 Sec, 5 — 37 Tlie research prograi.i of the departuent has "bee.i sorlonsly cur- tailed "by the heavy teaching: load imposed upon the instructional staff "by the very lar.-^e incruase in the student enrollnent in courses offered hy the department and "by lack of space and equipment.

INTRODI-iCTICN Tho nood for en addition to the Physics Laboratory has 'been acu':o olnce 1935 and has "becom«3 moro acuto each yeor since then. ?rom timo to ti'io this problem has been discussed with Dean Bnger and the University Bmlding Conmittee. By 1933, Deeji Enger recognized the ne^d for nore space for in- struction rnd research in physics and ernt)hasized that "An addition to the Physics Laboratory has probably become the greatest building need in tho College of Engineering The need for additional space is very urgent." Since then, due to the development of the betatron and cyclotron projects, the need has become more acuto. By 1940-41, only three class rooms were left in the building. Therefore, it is proposed that an rd.dition to liio present building be built to the north of the Physics Laboratory and the the size be such that the available space be doubled, II, DEPiRTI^ENT LO-AD The registrations in courses in physics at five year intervals starting with the first year that the Physics Laboratory was occupied are given in Table I, Prom these data it is evident that the number of students, in all classes, has more than doubled since the building was built, ilso, tho largest increase in a given period occurred between 1934-35 and 1938-39. The research activity actually has increased even more than these figures indicate. Between 1929 and 1939 eleven exceptionally able and energetic research men joined the department. As a res-ijlt, three tiues as many research papers were published during this period than in any other. V "•:.•,■■■: --/V *' -V" ■• •:>■■ ■'i-'a i.-xi . ■••■■ :• r i . .,;?., .,.^,, t ■ I." ■.r ;••;.

This, we liope, will largely be provided by building a special Betatron Laboratory (Project Eng. 3b). Also, the Irjge cyclotron has bean constructed and put into operation in the Nuclear Radi- ations Laboratory where sone research space is available. However, for both of these projects cmd the researchers working with then, it will bo necersary to have research roons available in the Ihysics Laboratory where radiation fron the cyclotron and betatron will bo negligible. Much of the research work of the departnent was interrupted by the war. In fact, the only projects still in progress are the betatron, the cyclotron, and the uraniun research.

Majiy of thorn have had an outstanding part in tho wartiiro developments in thnr^o fields and will command a strong position for rosearch in thoso uniquo fields o For some years wo hr.ve considered initiating rosenxch in cosmic rcys. The development of the betatron tnd the possibility of producing firti- ficiel cos:^ic rpys with it make tho initiation of a program of cosmic rey re S3 arch a natural and import cjit adjunct to the betatron progrora. In order to handle the wcTtime teaching load it has been necessary to discontinue, for the duration, twelve advanced undergraduate and graduate courses. This is about 40^ of the courses offered in normal peace time. Another course, "Modern Laboratory Practice", Physics 191, h£;S been forced out of its regular laboratory quarters to provide elementary laboratory spece for tho Army and Navy, For the same reason, all of the old acoustics lab- oratory and the associated rosearch rooms and the fourth floor corridor in the Physics Laboratory have oeen converted into temporary elementary lab- oratory space. Much of tho second floor east wing in the Physics Laboratory is being used by the betatron project. Formerly this space was used by the linear accelerator and research graduate students. From the above it seous clear that the Physics Laboratory did not provide adequate space for instruction and research prior to 1940, and that the situation is more criticfl now.

It seems reasonable to estimate that the physics dcpartnont will hove 2000 to 3000 {say 2500) students in alomentory physics after tLo war. This is two to three tines the pre-war figure. The estimate is based on the following educational trends: a. Science in goneral and physics in particular has rocoivod much onphasiB during the war. High schools nay bo expected to onphaslze those subjects noro after the war than formerly. Therefore, larger registrations in the College of Engineering nay bo expected, b. The Veterans Administration and Federe-l Subsidy for postwar education of men discharged from the armed forces may be expected to supply large numbers (lOOO) of men in science subjects, c. Industrial companies have learned the value of physicists during the war and will continue to employ -Dhysicists in larger and larger numbers. This will lead to larger registrations in physics, III. PRESENT SPACE In 1909, when the Physics Laboratory was completed, the building had approximately 35,000 sq. ft. of floor space in class rooms, laboratory, offices, etc. (excluding halls, stairways, etc.) used for instructions and research in physics. The basement ejid fourth floor were designed so thr.t tli^ were unsuitable for use except for photographic laboratories of another department. By 1939-40 the total floor space in use was about 52,500 sq . ft .

By 1939, even after adding 16,500 sq. ft. of floor space from basement op.d fourth floor, this had dropped to 1.8 sq. ft. per student registration. A fiirther comparison is given as follows: In 1939, there were about 1000 students making up the 3901 student registration in courses. This gives a floor space of 52.5 sq. ft. per student.

POST-WAR DEVELOPI^Nl'S Some reesons for expecting increases In enrollment In physics in the post-war Deriod fire £^lven above under II. Also, reasons for additional research space were given thore. Fm-ther, it has been recognized that a new course in physics for non-techn?cal students in other colleges of the university is highly dosirabie and should be initiated as soon as possible. The field of biophysics ic now, Important and developing. Also, there ie Torgant need for advanced undergraduate and graduate laboratory in eloctronics, acoustics, haat, and spociel problems for students who plan to go into in- dustrial pl\ysics. The prosexit buildiiig provides no floor space for such laboratories. All of these trends point to larger registrations in pl^ysics and the need for more space , Assuming that tlioso Isrgar registrations materialize, we may need to double the staff and that in turn will demand more research space, V. PROPOSED KET-V SP-hCE An addition of about 50,000 sq, ft. is proposed. It should be builb just north of the present building and should bo of the same general construction and typo. Preliminary plans of the proposed addition have been prepared. There will be a need for special electrical power outlets in all rooms, general electrical services, gas, water, air, etc. Details of special rooms must be left until final plans are dr£3wn but an estimato of an extra $100,000 for such special facilities has been made. VI. FJTURE EEVELOPJSOTS Developments in physics have been so rapid in recent yeai-s that future lines of research cannot be wholly predicted. For example, the beta- tron was not known in 1940 and now is one of our most important research / J \ii-f r-y\l^fj> "v ":■". ■^:■■r. ■ 3--.r:-i^-;-cr '" - "- ... f. , f . - :?■ . .: - .• v-.---.-/>v'*>> ■ :i" ;'v' /';■.■:. ■-•■t.-)' .'■•'■ .".'.■■,;■ -^Iv-^-^ C-i' r.icf.'TV;^^- ri> ■'■.-■■iHi.- + .•!;. »'J*; .•■_i-«y-» ; i!'';-.

The prosont Physics Laboratory, built in 1909, afforded at that time about 114 sq. ft. of floor spaco Toor student. b. By 1939-40 tho above ratio had dropped to 53 sq. ft. "ier stiident duo to increased enrollment and reserxch activity. c. Sy 1940, 15,000 sq. ft. of floor sr!ac3 in the Physics Laboratory, originally designed so that it could not be used, was in usej and Q-7en tl>jn the dem?.nd for svoce was so acuto that only three necescpry classrooms could be kept in th3 building. d. The present ^-nd. proposed use of floor spaco is much tlie same as in other first class institutions. e. In general, other first class institutions provide approximately 100 sq. ft. per student floor space. Those institutions who do not hrve that nuch fo«>l crccpod f-r space. f. All trends indicate that enrollments in "ohysics may be d-^ubled in the post-war T^eriod as compared with those of the immediate pro-war period. g. The x^resent building provides excellent facilities for v/ork in physics, but urgently needs repowaring (Project Sng. 3c) and a largor librrxy (Project Eng. 3d). h. The proposed addition to the north of the present Physics Laboratory v/ould about double the available space and except for unforeseen cir- cumstances probably satisfy our needs for majiy yeazs.

Much im'iortant work can be done with machines of these sizes but the really unique fields of investigation can be entered with a machine proriucing 200 to 250 nev electrons, Such a machine is now being planned by Dr. Kerst (Project Eng. 3c). The purposes of a betatron laboratory will be: (l) to house two machines of the 20-nev size; (2) to provide laboratory and shop space for scientists and students to do experiments with these nachiner,; (3) to make provision for the necessary laboratory and shop facilities for a 250-nev betatron. This machine is a project in itself axid will be housed in an addition to the laboratory of this proposal.

This location is for several ref.sons vory unsatisfactory as a place for "betatron reseoxch.: 1. There is no possibility of expansion for the installation of additional machines of the same or lar<<;er size. 2. There is no space for small research laboratories for individual re- search workers use in constructing and testing apparatus, for preparing material for betatron rediation and for analysis and interpret at Ion of results. Much inconvenience and waste of time arises from the present arraii£:ojient of carrying out these fiinctions to a large extant in ohe Physics Laboratory and going to the Power Plpjit for operations with. the betatron, 3. The space now used for the betatron will eventually be needed for Power Plant machinery, A larger and more suitable space is neoded. There is no place for the betatron program in thePhysics Laboratory. Neither should it be included in the plans to enlarge the Physics Laboratory for three reasons: 1, The planned betatron development, including the large machine, will require such a largo amount of power that it should be necr the Power PI ant . 2, It is sufficiently difficult to protect persons from the betatron radiations that the laboratory should be in a somewhat isolated region, 3, The electrical disturbanco produced by the betatrons would be trouble- some to sensitive electrical apparatus in the Physics Laboratory or other nearby laboratories. •j:. 7..>/<.;'j:q-T: ^j,o-.f -. ::'■■ • V '::f;- C":^- C/*" i^'.f.'~"\: t.lt ■..■ V"-..J'^"-:'::\ :-v.,M .:-:j.t ■■ f-f • 1 .■! ■•,'.1 ■.•..•. ■.n--' T.: .i.;\->J^ Betatron Lr.boratory - ptjge 3 Sec. 5 *•- ^9 III. POST-W.AR PEVELOPMENT The tetatron laboratory will beccne a center of graduate study aiid reseerch. As mentioned above, thare are at least three lines of work that can be very fruitf-ully exploited with machines of the 20-raev size. 1. High energy physical phenomena cmd nuclear physics. Three excellent Ph.D. theses by men working with the betatron have been written In this field and the surface is barely scratched, 2. Medical possibilities. It is almost certain from experiments on tissue- like material that for the treatment of deep-seated cfoicer the x-rays produced by the 20-mov betatron will prove to be definitely superior to the x-rays now available. The fast electrons have even more valuable therepoutic possibilities if they can be brought out of the machine in a concentrated beam. These medical possibilities of tho betatron should be vigorously investigated after the war by cooperation of the Physics Department and medical institutions, including our cisn College of Medicine, 3. Industrial use. Tho work in this field has been done during tho war under government contract end cannot be discussed. It may be said that the epplications are such that they will be as valuable in peacetime industry as in war industry. IV. PROPOSED IIEW SPiiCB To continue and to expand the fields of investigation two 20-mev machines should be available. On account of the interest in this typo of physics it is reasonable to erpect that many graduate students and visiting scientists will want to work T7ith the betatron. A laboratory which will accommodate tv/enty researchers should be provided. •• r.- 4 ..£ ,^-rr.^: -.•r'rv^^^; '.M.',:r "c; -•:{^'^:^.

The importance attached to th-j.s field cani be judged from the tremendous amount of effort and money expended in cosmic ray investigations in the past fifteen jears. If the University is to make the most of its -unDaralleled opportunity to assume and maintain a strong leadorshit) in the advancement of physics it should ask that a 250-mev betatron be included in the post- war projects of the State. Yc-luable work coii bo done with the smeller machines but the greatest interest and importance will be attached by scientists to the high energy phenomena because of their novelty and fundamental netuT'Ce The machine was invented at Illinois by Br. D. W, Kerst. He md his students have tho best knowledge rjid experience to build ejid work with a big machine. Nothing in physics is so likely to bring prestige to the University and the State ae its stroiig support of a large betatron, A typical experiment with a large betatron would be to attempt the production of mesons. Those particles , which occur occasionelly in cosmic radiation, play a fundamental role in present theories of the . ■•• _"t.;. i; ^\¥^ J: :i\ vi^ trf ^■■:<.r'.i.:vs^A; '/.!.(■■ -.-i:.!; ..; f';.i;iC:v :-a:;^ vti;' ■<; .v" ' r i ,0 ■ . ^ '. ; 1.V ;;. \;j i. .; ,*;i.".V«flir .'iC- -! .si^,-! ;-.(.i -,. ■; ;. ;•■ ..;. .1 :. ...,._i ,.,(. j....|" •.V .*■/■'.

Tlio method of producing very high energy electrons has been established in the present betatrons wMch produce electrons of 20-raov energy. If the linear dinensions of the present nachino are increased by ten trnes, electrons of 2-30 nev caprcity can be produced. Improvements in design nay make it unnecessary to make the size of the ratichino proportional to the electron onargy but it will bs at best a large and expensive in- st ell at ion. The General Electric Company has built a machine, designed by Dr. Kerst, which will accelerate electrons to 100 mev. This is about the lower limit of the interesting high-energy range. Physicists in other universities have expressed ambitions to build larger betatrons after the war. One is sure to bo built elsev;here if the University of Illinois does not successfully promote plans to do so here, II. COST ESTIMiiTE A machine which will produ.ce 250-mev electrons is exponsivo in first cost £.:id it will require a large amount of power to operate. If the present machine is simply magnified sufficiently to produce 250-mcv eloctrons-, the original cost is estimated by Dr. Eerst to be about $1,350,000 an.d the power consumption <3300 kilowatts. If the points of design mentioned abovo are su.ccessfully developed the cost would be reduced to about one-half, eoid the po\7er consumption to one-third, of th-? figures quoted. ! i ' ■ .

Consequently, no books which lxq not likely to be used for reforonco have been allowed to remain on the shelves. Those have boon returned to the Main Libz- cry for storcge. Only in this way has it been possible to shelve the collection in the very small amount of space available. In 1938, it was f'und that there were no lonr,QT any books which could bo released to the Mrin Library, c-nd other measaros had to be cevisedc Temporary shelves were built over the fireplace. This provided spaoe for 300 volumes. It was recommended, as a perir.anent solution, that the central stelrway of the buildirig be eliminated and that a room be built there con- nectirig the present library with tho seminar room. The Physical Plcnt De- partment estimated the cost to be aoout $5.. 000. At that time the Li.brarian api)roved tho project but, for some reason, it was not completed. In 1939, these shelves c-^iild no longer c'xjcoimiodato the necessary books, and a stack unit, with space for 1^000 volumes was secured from the Main Library. This stack has long since been filled. In 1942, another st.ack unit, which would accommodate about 700 volujies, was added. The present rate of expansion is about 300 volumes per year, and there is room on the shelves for only 200 additional volumes. In fact, it would be desirable to have about 200 voli-.nos ret-Jirned to the department library from the nain library if shelf room were available, Tho shelf space now in place will be filled by next euinmer. f • -n r ;!•- ■■•T> ■: .".-< - •■ ^' ' • /<' f' '■*'.? ) '■'• '■-:'*•' *'.f' '" ' :i r- V -v -.'li' '.'j. c\ f -.}.■," :, ■r- It:' ...^. . • /v 1' • •.-.f.. ^ft/v.;.:5 <•-•:■ ■ Tvi j' rtrw .^?^= .;>c^;a;. wi; .': Sularpiiig the Physics Llbi*nry - ptgo 2 Sec, 5 — 57 The only vxoy in which this problem crai continuo to bo s^lvod on a tenporriT/ basiD is to rostrlct still f-urther the study epaco in the librnry so thp.t only six st-udonts can bo seated.

Unless now quarters era provided bofore that tino it will bo possible to seat so few persons in tho library that it inay as well close conplotcly, so far as its use as a roac^.ing roon is concerned. In 1941, Librarian TThite considered that the needs for addition&J, space in tl.o physics library was the most iar.:^ont of any departiiont liLrary on the canrms. This still is true . Therefore, it is requested that sufficient funds to carry out the plans for enlarging the Physics Department Library bo provided. Those plans caJl for the removal of the central staircase on the south sido of the first story of the Physics Laboratory, and building a room on the second floor over tha.t area; this new roon to to connected to the present library and also, by a doorwny, to the present Seminar room. Previous estimates of the cost of this change was .*5.000. Presumably they v/ill be somewhat higher, perhaps $7,000 in the post-war period.

In 1939, the Phypiccl Plant Departnont ostinated the cost of repoworing and rewiring this laboratory at $60,000. This ostinate w^.s based on a detailed statjnont made at that tine as to txie type of installation desired, ilthoiogh changes in the details of the plan have been neAo since than, it is the opinion of Mr. Hinsha>/ that the figure givjn as a crude estimate in 1939 is still approximately corroct. Kot only is the wiring in this building a fire hazard, but it is totally inadequate to sup'oly the present needs for research, instruction, and lifjhting. No & tibt the domrjid will be increased in the post-wrr period. The wiring has not been modernized since the building wan built approx- imately thirty years ago. Obviously, at that time the designers of the building could not be expected to know prosont-day needs. From tine to time, temporary and auxiliexy installations have been made, but they have not b3en coordinated, or installed in a completely satisfactory ^ay. Much of the insul^^.tion on the old wire is baji, as has been discovered at various times v/hen necessary repair^ had to be made. It is requested that a sum of $60,000 or $70,000 be included in the building program so that a modernization of our electrical power system in the Physics Laboratory nay be achieved at the earliest possible date.

IIWIODUCTION In a recently published history of the Denortnent of Minin,e: and MetolluTj^ical Engineering at the University of Illinois it was pointed r>-at that the second meeting of the Board of Trust ees helci in May 1867 a-^iproved e. report of the C^Jnaittoe on Course of Study and Faculty, providing for courses in Mining Engineering and Metallur^^y. In the period 1867-93 in- struction in mining engineering was coxried on in various buildings on tho College of Bngineerin^ cropus. In A"-:;ust 1C93, the University discuntinuod the curriculu'a in raining engineering. In 1908 interest in raining was revived and on April 1, 190S » Senc'te Sill 384 and House Bill 538 were introduced to the Senate and the House, The hill passed the General Assembly and on June 8, 1909, was signed by Governor Deneen. The Act establir^hed the Department of Mining Engineering at the UnHersity of Illino1.s, and instruction was begun in September 1909, During the first two years tho depai'tment wa?i scattered about the Engineering campus and had offices, clasarooms, and laboratories in the following buildi nj^^s : Physics, Snginoering Hall, New Power Plant, Chemical Engineering, end Locoiootive Testing Laboratory. In 1911 an ap-oropria:ion of $25,000 was made for addition-il equipinent but the fund was utilized In constructing a now mining laboratory which was completed in the fall of 1912. The IrJboratory contained aj-prox- imatoly 8,000 sq. ft. of floor space, and provided for ser^pliiig and grinding , chendcGl end physicel testing, coal prepa'-ation and ore dressing, ventil- ation and drillint^, and blasting.

In tho fall of 1912, the now Transportation building had boen completed, iuid 8P:x:o was provided at the south ond of the second floor of the new building for the staff of the Mining Department, Depi?j:t mental and staff offices, classrooms < and draftl-ig rooms were housed in the Trensportation building until the fall of 1941 whon new quarters v?ero established on tho third floor of the Coramics building in space vacated by the Stato Geological Survey. In 1914 an addition was approved for the Mining Laboratory but money was never appropriated and the ejdditional wing was never built. As early as 1916 the Head of the Department recommendod tho construction of a building to house the offices and laboratories of the department, and this recommendati«.n stated that a total of 70,000 sq. ft. of space woizLd be needed. Excepting for an appropriation of approximately $7,000 in 1941 for reconstructing the mineral dressing laboratory, no other effort has been made to bring the work of the department under one roof and to provide adequate quarters. The University catalog for the year 1933-34 cai-ried the first announcement of the new curriculum in metallurgical engineering. An appropriation of $50,000 was secured in 1935 for the constr^iction of a metallurgy laboratory. Construction was completed and the building V7as occupied in the second semester of 1936-37. The building consists of an addition to the east of the Mining Laboratory, is two stories high, and has a floor space of approximately 8,000 sq. ft.

The number and extent of metallurgical industries in Illinois and nearby stc :es can very easily absorb a consider- ably greater number of gradua.ting students each year. In addition, the present war has tended to accentuate the importance of well-trained metallur- gists in the metal man\if acturing industries, and the publicity given in the press and radio has tended to create a livelier interest in this ei:igineerine field. ^ ^'^^'-h^Xv-Jiebr-ts t ': >■ ^ t ■-■; ■ L ■ 'ji:'* tidbit ■'''.vf* --,-.. i^.* ".> •/•O '€;;';''/-^ .''LKi-Vf'-i ^-x- -^^ i '" "^'^'■•'■•'yi' oi^.n^^-isn-i-i «i^ ,j Mining and Metallvrgy Building - pf^e 5 Sec. 5 — ^3 The mining industries of tho state are showin,'?^ an increased interest in securing young mining engineers as Rhown by the fact that they hr.ve established 12 scholarships in mining engineering in the two years procoeding tho commcincamont of war, Othor coeil companies have indicated thoir interest in establishing scholarships in mining so that they may have avoilablo onch year young engineers to add to their staff. At tho time the Metallurgy Laboratory was constructed in 1937, there wero three full-time instructors and one full-time research man on the ctaff of the department. In 1941 there were six full-time instructors, one hclf-time assistpjit and one full-tme research man^ There does not seem to be a good criterion for estimating the probable incraaso in studont enrollment in the postwar period; however, statistics on student enrollment in mining and motollurgical engineering for tho approved schools in the United States indicate that onrollraent should be further increased, Tho stud9nt enrollment in mining and metallurgical engineering in the period 1934-41 for the United States was ad follows; 19r' - 2098 1935 - 2453 1937 - 3282 1939 - 4295 1941 - 4423 There rill be en inmediate need for a staff increase of one full-- time instructor and two half-time assistants to take ctiro of enrollment equal to that which prevailed in 1941, and which it seems wo axe justified in expecting to be equaled and probably exceeded at the irrraediate con- clusion of the war.

Txiore is a net floor area of 8, COO sq. ft,, constructed in 1937, of brick and tile v/ith concrete floor. The present quarters are inadequate because the stud.ent enrollment has in- creased to approximately twice that for v/hich it ^■'as de^>ignQd, and only three laboratories were originally provided. Two offices viero originally provided in tho laboratory but there are now four staff members housed in the build- ing. Only one classroom was provided, and as a result our classes have been condijcted in a number of buildings because they could not be scheduled in the laboratory in a single classroom. Our raetallogrephic laboratories have limited the size of secti'">ns which could be scheduled and have un- necessarily increased the instructional load because of the number of sections involved. The furnace laboratory should be sepcxated from offices, class- rooms, and other laboratories. It is proposed that after the construction of a new building for the department the Metallurgy Laboratory be used for research space as a part of the Engineering Experiment Station. >f>;i::, ■/ f.yjx •^■■i\.^.f. vv •^(■" s •>■■ i^iini Cf,"vv .::;; •■■x;^./--^- ';.■.'

Sec. 5 — 69 PROJECT ENG. 4b FOU-NIDRY LABORiffORY In addition to tho Mining and Metallurgy Building, that department noods a foundry in the innodiatQ noighborliood of tlio new building, but separated frou it. It is dosirablo to havs tho foundry separate because of tho largo anount of dust ar.d funcs to be found in foundry operations. Tho required floor space will bo approximately 5,000 sq , ft. It has elrof'Jy been proposed that the present locomotive testing laboratory, which is now being abandoned, be used for c. Foundry. This building has a high ceiling and an overhead crane, and pouring pits are essentially already in place. It iB belioved this building couil.d be reconstructed to adequately ta''':e care of a foundry tliough no definite plans have been made to determine its use- fulness. If this building should be used for some other purpose or should prove to be inadequate in floor space, then it would be necessary to con- struct a now Foundry Buil^^in^ in the immediate vicinity of the proposed Mining and Metallurgy Building. The Foundry would include a cupola for melting cast iron eM at least two tj-pes of furnaces for melting steel. There would have to be provided equipment for molding and sand conditioning, a cupola furnace, and a gas- or oil-fired steel melting furnace. In addition, there would be required a number of small items Incident to tho operation of a foundry. A comparatively large amount of the required equipment should bo available from the present foundry. Prepared by Professor H. L.

INTRODTCTION In considorirvj the "post-v/£r" "buildins poogran of the University, there shoTild be taken iuto account the needs of the Gonerel Engineering Drcwing Dopcrtnont, both for additional SD£i:e and the renovation of Bono space in which the Department is partially quartered in the Transportation Bulldin.^:. Those needs have been shar^jly uanifest during the last ten yerrs and they will be even i.nre apparent in the post-war period, ITo now buildiij^s or additions are sugs^iested in order to x^roperly house the repartnent. What is contemplated is a more cor.iplete use of the Transportation Buildin;;, thus requiring the Mechanical Er^ineering Dexjartment to give up space which it occupies in the buildi n.^ to a large o.ztont , thus in turn, making it important that now space be provided for that Depaxtnent. The space needed by the Drasring Deprxtrient is la.vgely in the form of drafting rooms althou:2;h th3 Depajrtnent must also have several more offices than it now has if post-vvaa- enrollments return to anythir^ like those prevailing just prior to Poaxl Harbor. In effect, the need is for all of the space now used by machine design classes amounting to throe drafting rooms aJid several offices. Renovations will consist mainly of new lighting f-^r several drafting rooms now very poorly lighted, which in turn will require new lead-in lines to the buildirjg. These iuiprovements have already been contemplated and provided fr>r in at least one previous bud^'et , but could not be carried out on account of other rooro pressing emergency conditions arising as a rosTiLt of the war, A few partition removals, blackboard inst rllations, and other nir^r improvements are necessary to eqiilp the building so that it would completely house the Department which now used and has for some tine used two other buildings for its purposes, namely. Ceramics Building and Engineering Hall. ■' • -'-■•-. ■■ ■•.'.,\ i:-.v-:.. '■■'■' ■>.'.■ ■ J •»•<,->■-■ .-/,""■; • -f ■•^ Tr v ■' i.'. .1. . • ■• ■; «v^.'

It would have been abeolutely necessary if the Drawing Dopartnent had not talcen its work elsev/hore, VI . SJJIMARY Tho fore^oin^ can be summarized in two brief sentences:, (l) The Department of General En<-i;ineering Drawinp: should be housed in one buildiru^., namely, the Transportation Bmldin.':, and (2) iTew s^ace for the design division of the Mochajiical Eni^ineorin^: Department should be provided else- where, preferably in a new building.

If this program should consist of undergraduate options in aeronautics in the Mechanic:ii, Civil and Electrical Engineering curricuJ a with graduate work in Aeronautical Engineering, the space requirements wou^d not "be as l::?ge as they would he if a Department of Aeronautical Engineering is set up with an undergraduate curriculum and graduate coursesc In either case, provision should he made for a research program which is qaite certain to he extensivoo An appropriate amount for consideration at the present time is $500,000. This would provide for the more extensive programo Future develop- ments might indicate that a smaller amount vould he adequate.

AITD APPLIED ARTS GENERAL COMvIENTS The College of Pine and Applied Arts needs relief in two generaGL areas: 1, Adequate housing for the departments of Art, Architecture and LeMscape Architecture, 2, More space in Smith Memorial (Music) Hall, In order to achieve the first ohjective, it is proposed to vacate space now used hy the Art Department in the Architecture Building and five other campus structures, asking for a new Pine Arts Building to he erected north of the Architecture Building and designed to house the rapidly growing Department of Art and the various gallery collections and provide such needed space for the crowded Ricker Lihrary and room for a reasonable growth of these interests. This will vacate space in the Architecture Building which will then provide housing for: 1, The Department of Landscape Architecture to he moved from the New Agriculture Building, 2, Housing for the Bureau of Community Planning, now in haseraent space in the Commerce Building, 3'. Expansipn for Architecture including such items as a commons room, a museum of building materials, additional office space., and a graduate serainarc In order to achieve the second ohjective, an addition is proposed at the west of Smith Memorial Hall to provide much needed lihrary space, more studios, more practice rooms, an archestra rehearsal hall, locker space and other facilities.

It is, moreover, the special function of the University to educate administrative officers and other educational leaders, includin/^ college ajid university faculty members, who will deal with problems of elementary education. The Leland Survey conducted in 19^2-^-3 for the State Department of Rinance statedt "The University of Illinois is obviously the lOf^ical state institution in which to develop the continuation program (beyond the four undergraduate years) for elementary teachers. It should be given needed support for the development of a strong department in this field," The Survey stated also, "At the present time, it (the University of Illinois) lacks adequate facilities, including a demonstration school, for thorou^ work in elementary education," As a result of the recommendation of the University Senate adopted on April Ig, I9IO, the Trustees of the University of Illinois on October I5, 1910, adopted the following recommendation: "That the Trustees of the Uni- versity ask the next Legislature for the sum of $250,000 for the erection of a separate building for the School of Education which shall also contain pro- vision for the, model high school recommended by the Senate and endorsed by 2 the Gcmmittee", 1 From "Report on Teacher Education by State-Supported Institutions in Illi- nois," William S.

DEPARTMENT LOAD 1, Student Load. — In I915-I6, when the laboratory scliools buildir*^ (of which only an incomplete unit was ever constructed) was planned , the teacher certificating laws of Illinois required no college education for elementary school teachers sind only two years of colle^-e for high school teachers. Now, four years of college work, with at least sixteen hours in education courses, are required of all beginning teachers, except those granted certificates on a temporary basis because of the war emergency. This prepara^- tion meets only the requirements for a limited certificate. A life certifi- cate requires the master's degree with at least twenty-two hours of education. Between I915-I6, when the laboratory schools building was planned, and 19^-^1 » striking increases have occurred i.i ':l\e instructional and re- search responsibilities of the College of Education, The extent of these changes is suggested by the following tal.l.e: Number of Instructional Ivamber cf Masters' De^jirees (M.A.& M.S.)

Lftborntory Schools Bldg. - pn^o 2 Sec. 7—7 The Ipbcratory Gocondary school was planned m I915-I6 to provide facilities for observation and for rosoarch. Had the building "been completf?d, it would still "bo inadequate to provide essential opportunities for observa- tion for an undergraduate student body which, as the above table shows, was in 19^0-^1 more than 300 per cent larger. It would be still more inadequato to provide for a graduate student body which, in 19^-^1, was 1,000 per cent larger, as the above table also shows. In recent years the growth in enrollments in Education, particularly at the graduate level, has been especially rapii.. Between 1936 and 19^ » the undergraduate enrollment in education at the University of Illinois increased 19 per cent. During the same period the graduate professional enrollment in education increased 350 per cento Equally striking had been the recent in- crease in second and third-year graduate profesai^cnal enrollments in oducar- tion. The number of second-and third~year fraduale professional students in education in 1936 was 11; in 19^1 it was H7, Lack of laboratory facilities seriously limits the quality and effectiveness of this greatly increased graduate program. At present there is an acute, nationwide shortage of teachers. The post-war duty of educating teachers to help reduce this shortage will place new and heavy obligations ujion the University of Illinois, It is not so generally recognized that there is an even more seri- ous shortage of qualified educational leaders. The education of such leaders, particularly at the graduate level, v/ill still further emphasize the inadt - quaoy of the existing research facilities. The marked increases In enrollments wh:. -jh have already occ.-'j. f^ed a"- all graduate levels, together with the increases to be expected as a resuJt cf the shortage of qualified leaders in public education, emphasize the urgency o:^ making adequate provisions for laboratory research in educationo ?■ ■2:. ,:j- T i .'i;.V'?'Vr' V ■■^" ■■ .■•'■ :'l'\^''^:r.r^:h'i'•: -; ...-•■•. :.,::■•■;•!■•■•■!■ :•' ■'!,■■,-, !..■"■:.■ vf 'nr •(' .'. ■ ••; ■ 'ii '■' J ; t'^;fiv^.'/i.. .,:.!:. •sAii!*!' ..(.■■• '•.;•:...> I. ■" ,: i-jV^'X ■•vV./.Vif- : -;■>,• )><■■ r ^ '■■■'■>■ ■ < ■ .- :■».■•]■•■.■.'■',•.■ ••■■•■■ ;."V; ■', f ■."'■■■ c- %■■■'■ •.■■,'•... ~1 • ■• ■ Laboratory Schools Bldg, - page 3 Sec, 7 — 8 2. Resoatch Activity . — It has always been rocognlzed by the str-ff of the College of Education that one of it? major functions is research, but the facilities provided have seriously limited the nature and extent of thi i research. Research projects involving library materials are reasonably well provided for. Some research involving hi,^h school students has been done through the use of the University High School in spite of limitations imposed by distance, by buildint':; inadequacies, and by conflicting demands for obser- vation and student teaching. Research projects involving the public schools also have been carried on even though limited by distance and by the reluc- tance of local communities to opon their schools to experimentation directed by persons not under the school boards' immediate control. At best, however, extensive and continu.ous basic studies of child growth and development are not possible under such conditions at reasonable cost of faculty tirca and university money. The departments of the Universli.y which would be served by the laboratory school facilities includes Psychology, Home Sconomics, Sociology, Si)eech, Biology, Agriculture, Engineering, and Medicine, Several of this group have asked for special facilities in the building. It should be noted that most of the research which would be made possible by an adequate laboratory wotild ultimately be expected to benefit by the public schools, the public agency requiring our largest peace-time ex- penditures, II.

Developments of the past twenty years have consistently emphasized that the education of children is a continuous process, with growth and developnent at one age largely dependent upon the previous experience of the child. The inescapable implication for research is that it too must be a continuous process beginning with the earliest ago levels, A laboratory school enrolling children from two. to eighteen years of rge wov,ld meet this requirement of continuous research. Another reason for proposing emphasis .ipon research among children younger than the high school ages is tha""^/ seventy per cent of the pupils en- rolled in the common schools of Illinois are in the kindergarten and elemen- tary schools. Yet the University has provided no adequate laboratory for re- search below the high school years, 3. The A vailable Laboratory Unit is Inadequate ,-- 'That the present laboratory school buildings are inadequate even for usual high school purposes is demonstrated by this statement by A, W, Glevenger, High School Visitor of the University of Illinois: "2, SCHOOL PLANT, (a) Building: In evaluating the adequacy of this school plant, consideration must be gi-ven to the fact that this is a teacher- training high school and also that it should be kept in mind that this school is expected to provide some leader- ship in educational experimentationo On the whole > the building is not very satisfactory and in many respects inadequate for the educational program which this school is expected to provide. k V' .'.* ' / ■■'■:■':?

The dressing rooms and shower facilities are inadequate. The biology laboratory is satisfactory only for snail classes. It is not a satisfactory laboratory for practice teachinj^ and experi- mental work. The library room is not large enough to accomracdate the pupils and practice teachers who make use of the library. The art room is not very satisfactory and the permanent equipment is not suited to the needs of art instruction in this high school. Some of the classrooms are not provided with enough blackboard space, (b) Location; Fairly satisfactory, (c) Grounds ; Below average. Some consideration should be given to the fact, however, that this school has the use of an athletic field owned by the University and also the use of the University tennis courts and swimming pools, but all of these facilities must be used at specified hours in order not to conflict with classes and specirl activities of University students, "■'• The following excerpt from the I9H1 inspection report of Don Cash Seaton, then State Director of Phy^ichl Education, criticizes the University High School Gymnasi-um: " Facilities — It is indeed too bad that a school Of this design and purpose should be so handicapped in regard to a gjinnasiun, locker rooms, and showers. As 5''ou know, the g;|/mnasium is poorly ventilated, heated and lighted, T.ze locker, shower and toilet rooms are grossly/ inadequate, 'Ihe University of Illinois cer- tainly cannot point with pride to this phase of their model high school, We realize, of course, that some of the University of Illinois (proper) facilities are available, "I suggest that the University give serious consideration to bringing this neglected part of this fine school system up to and beyond what is expected in the high schools of our state, "^ Lacking an auditorium, the University High School has been using a fourth-floor attic for this purpose.

If observation is not to inter- fore with research (and even with usual school procedures), there must be special buildint^ facilities which elirainate this interference. In the pro- posed new laboratory school building, such facilities are provided by obser- vation galleries adjoining many of the cls.ss and experimental rooms. Some of the restrictions upon the proper utilisation of the Univer- sity High School building enumerated above night be removed by modifications of and additions to the existing structure^ An auditorium night be built, the illumination improved, the shower and locker rooms enlarged, acoustical treatment added, and room sizes altered. Practicable solutions of these problems would be very expensive, would still leave the facilities subject to 2 serious internal limitations , would not alter the handicap of distance, would not provide observation facilities at the high school level, and would provide neither research nor observational facilities below the high school level. 1 From a letter to Dean Bennerj dated January 6, 19^-'^'. 2 For a somewhat more detailed analysis of the problems involved, se& le ;■'•'::.• from Principal Charles M, Allen to Director Charles S.

POST-WAR DEVELOPIffiNT The lahoratory school facilities requested in the May 5i 19^3 re- port of the Conraittoe on Building Prograni of the College of Education, while desi£^ed to meet present and lonsfT-time future needs, would also provide ade- quately for the inmediate post-war periodc Statistics for the United State? show that the arned forces and war industries have drawn off appro ziinat el y 60 per cent of those preparing: to teach. Acute shortajC^es have resulted which are paralleled "by similar shorta^ses of supervisory and alnini strati ve, colle^-e and university faculty memherso This means that durin.^ the inmediate post-war period even facilities which would he completely adequate for a normal situation will "be greatly over- burdened. It is urf^ent, therefore, that provision "be r.adeas early as poss- ible for adequate facilities at the University of Illmoiso Failure to make such provision is likely to produce an irresi sv: : J.e demand upon the teachers colleges for the expaxision of the limited graduate programs which three of them have already been authorized to undertakec IV. PROFCSSD IIEW SPACE The College of Education, vdth the cooperation of other interested departments, has prepared estimates of the floor area which would be needed to provide for the laboratory school building. This totals 225,272 square feet. A detailed analysis of the facilities comprised in this estimate is given below.

The "building estimate does not include some university services which, it is possible, should "be trnnsferred to this location. For exanple, it rairht he decided that the state-wide high school testing prof:ram should he located in the laboratory schools buildin/:^. This would help to brin^ to- f^ether the university services which deal with the educational problems of the public schools. It would, furthermore, make the data gathered by this office more easily accessible for educational rer.earch and teaching. It has been su^^gestod that the laboratory schools building should include a junior college. This would facilitate research, teaching and demonstration in the problems of the junior college development in Illinois including the problems of technical and ax-ea voo'^.tional schools. Because it Was felt that public opinion was not yet rcsly fcr such a development it has not been included in this proposals The proposal outlined belov^ hps been prepared with special attention to ease of adaptation to the needs, of additional research groups which may wish to melee use of the laboratory.

SUMlvLTiP.Y In its introduction this report ri^,^ests that University polic2'' already includes the provision of e/eijuate laboratory facilities for the College of Education, The proposal of the Colle/^e that these facilities he nade available to all departnients of the University interested in the prowch and dovelopr.ent of children and youth is also in accord with general Univer- sity policy. The discussion of present sp^ce has pointed out that the University Hi^h School is not even a complete hi^h school unit, cannot provide adequ£.t6jy for observation, and is too remote fron the offices and_ classrooms of the faculty to malce possible its effective use for resBjarcha Furthermore, since growth and development at one a<^e level cannot be adecjicately studied in isola/- tion fron studies of growth and developmeat at lover af;;e levels, the Univer- sity Hi.;^ School even thouf;h complete in al.'. respects, would be inadequate as a laboratory facility for research in ed-j.'.ation an4 related fields. The in- complete high school unit, known as the University High School, was planned in 1915-l6» Since that tine, the undergraduate instructional load in educa^- tion has increased 329 per cent; the graduate instructional load has increased 1003 per cent, and the number of masters' degrees granted in education has increased 3^W0 per cent. Adequate laboratory school facilities for the study of growth and development of children and ^^outh by the College of Education and other in- terested departments of the University would require nurser;;/ school, elemen- tary school and kindergarten, high school, college and other facilities. which would atilize an estimated total of 225, 272 square feet of floor space, Prepared by College Committee on BuildingSo - • • ff.,:.^:^-.^^ - :■ y .:.• rlj 7y. •;•• "■•:: ''■ ,-f .■y,:rK ..,,rj.y ^w,, ::£: vX ^/'i-'.^.^i^^^jh^r. i'^'t, i'V.,.'v- •r.:.y SECTION 8 PHOJUCTS PROFOSSD BY SCHOOL OF ^mslOAL EDUCATION SECTION 8 PROJECTS PROPOSED BY SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL EDITCATIO TT GEJERiiL COMMENTS Racent draft "board medical reports have again made it clear that a very Isrge percentpge of the American people possess haiidicapDiiig physical defects and deficiencies.

Fifteen percent of college £ge youn^ men cannot swim; and 25 percent do not have sufficient strength in their arms to chin a bar five times. The United States has a higher rate of crime and juvenile delin- quency than any country.

POST TJM DF;2L0PMEIJT It is anticipated that the following developments nay occur after the war. 1, J-^one increase in onrollncnt of nale profess5.onal students in ph^'-sical '':.- ucatior , 2, Sone increase in the total University undergraduate nalo enrollment, 3, kioine expansion in the University physical education roquiron^nt over that which Was in effect before the v/er. Before the war the requiren3nt was 2 years for 2 or 3 hours par week. The war requirement is 4 years for 3 hours per week. The post war requirement mi^ht include: ( a) an increase in the number of years, (b) an increase in the nmber of ho"urs tjar wf^ek, or (c) both, ever that in effect before the wot. 4o Seme expansion in the University's varsity and intrairrural sports programs over that in effect prior to American participation in the war. The point to be noted in connection with the above developments iu that each would require ad.ditional space.

Last summer the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association gave expression to itfe feeling that the development of its athletic facilities should follow a v7oll-ccnsidered, unified, long-time plan "by the appointment of a ComraittGe on Future Development of Ph-ysical 2d-ucation and Athletic Fe>'-lli- tles. Undouhtedly, in the past, continuity of effort has "been accomplished through the vision of ths Director of Athletics, members of the Board, and the Businoss Manager, hut particularly with a more rapid turnover in our Board, a long-range program heco'.nes increasingly necessary. There is always a ten- dency to use any surplus of income for the project of the moment, rather than to accumulate a huilding fund that can he earmarked for carefully defined oh- jectives for future accomplishment. Another reason, and an extrcanely compelling one, is the increasing scarcity of sites for University buildings and the consequent loss to the ath- letic department of the use of campus areas that heve for a long time been at our disposal for intramural and recreational activities. It is the object of this committee to plan for present end. future uses of land, buildings and other facilities in such a way that our needs will be recognized in the general de- velopment of the campus, and so that we will not wrice up on some future date to a realization that our facilities for intercollegiate, intramural, and recreational sports are totally inadequate.

Arx>ther object at the present tine Is to present an outline of otc needs for additional "buildings. For a numhar of years the Athletic Assoc j. 3r- tion has just been able to balance expendltvires by income. Our reserves a. 9 so small that an unusual demand, such as major repairs to Stadium, Ice Rinl:, a new heat tunnel, or similar items, might wipe them out in a single year. Depreciation on a two-million dollar structiire like the Stadi"!irn sliould alone call for a reserve of at least $20,000 to #30,000 per year, which wg have not been able to provide. It seems very evident, therefore, thrt to secure any large building for athletic uses, we must depend upon a state appropriation. Such a building should properly be treated just as any ether project on the University's building program. A trend to which we have given much thought is the increasing interesi; of the studont body in intramural sports. Of about 9,000 men students, it is estimated that 3,000 to 3,500 are competing on one or mere organized intra- mural teams, besides the large number that play golf, tennis, softball, etc., as unorganized recreational sports. All of these students malce use of the athletic fac:lities provided. As an indication of the direction in which we may be expected to develop, compare the intramural budgets for the leading Big Ton universities, exclusive of salaries. The budgets at the leading schools are: Minnesota $32,000; Ohio $25,000; and Michigan $20,000, Illinois occupies fifth place with a budget, including salaries, of $7,170. As a result of our studies to date, we wish to present to the Board of Trustees the following outline of objectives, all of which we feel are just- ified by present needs, without reference to future requirements, except that we feel confident that even with a possible decrease in student enrollment • -^i;t^: :.-:rf;v.f?^-^/f.r ci'^"- ^.; ::■■:■. i '..?

In the following list, most of tho items relate to p': o- sont and proposed allocation of land for athletic purposes. It is hoped that "by a statenont of the uses plejined for the verious areas, allocations for such areas as sites for University "buildings ncy be avoided. The order of presen- tation of the various itens in the list is not si,_::nif leant of th^ir relative importance, Tho nunhors assigned to the various items correspond to tho n^x.- bors on the accompanying map. Tha following line of action is proposed: 1. Tho present Illinois Field is to be retained indefinitely for use by freshman and varsity baseball teams. The v7Coden blerjchers, removed this year, will be replaced by tcnpor-^ry steel blec^chors now on hand for occar sional use at the south end of the Stadium, rM which are adequate for baso- ball crowds* The Old Gymnasium aJid G-ymnasiun Annex will be usod for wrestling, gymnastics, fencing and intremuraJ. athletic?;. Illinois Field at present serves students at the University High Scliool as ai athletic field. 2. The remainder of the drill field should be retained for class use and competition in golf and intramurals. It is understood that the new Men's Dormitory may be followed in the future by similar units to the south along Fourth Street. It is assumed that no further buildings will be erected on the remainder of the field, 3. The entire block of land surrounding Huff Gymnasium, from Gregory Avenue to South Drive and from Fourth Street to Sixth Street should be retained for athletic use, 4. In the event that a new golf course is constructed, the area oc- cupied by the present golf course would "bf desirable for intramural uses, and icr a polo field. %.-.if. ; ,^.^i^.. • •■ • ■■/'••'J.-- ::.>:■ ■Kr: ■ !'

While this area is now sonowhat crowded, as a result of the looation of the Power Plant, it is roquocted that this land bo definitely allocated for such future usee 6. JUDout 150 acres of land, "betv/een First Street and the I.C.R.Ro tracks, south of Stadiun Drive, has been long considorod as the site for a new 18»»hole {^olf course, O^ur presort 9-liole course is inadequate and danger- ous. It is of no use to our varsity golfers, wh-o play elsewhere. In contrast, the University of Michigan has a beautiful 18-hole course; the Ohio State University has just completed a 3S-hole coui'se, including a very pretentious club house. A tentative layout of an 18-hole course for this tract of land has been made. This layout shjould probably bo modified to provide practice driving and approaching fairwaj's, which would be especially needed both by varsity players and by golf classes in physical Gducation, The plan provides for a large parking lot close to the Stadiurn, It is requested that this 160-acre tract be allocated to the Ath- letic Association for the construction of this golf course. It is needed now; it should be built as soon as it can bo finrjiced, 7. Use of a small area in the north end of the forestry has been studied as a small recreation center for mixed groups of students. Games, such as volleyball, shuffle board, archery, etc., could be provided, Ho trees need to be removed. 8. The major need for buildings for athletics at present is a new sports building. Such a building should provide capacity for 15,000 spectators k -j-.v;.:5'j: CerapuB riaying Flolde ~ pc^o 5 Soc, 8 — 30 for ■baskotball.

The present arrs;nge:aont of tho pool with respect to dreGsing roo"is and lockers is vory inconvenient and •undesirable. This proposed sports building represents a large capital e::pendituro, for which a legislative appropriation would be necosser;''. It is requested that it bo placed on the University's building progrrm, for action at the earliest opportunity. 9, Further rroas for intranur r-I baseball diamonds and other playing fields sliould be dovoloped. At present, couvoniont fields for sttidents in Urbana rxe lacking. It is requested, thorefore, that an area of land lySng just south of the Forestry, fronting on Pen:isylvania and Lincoln avenues, and containing 8 to 10 acres, be rllocated to the Athletic Association for intra- mural use, 10. Tennis courts are now maintained by tlie Athletic Association at nine different locations on tho campus. It is our plan to maintain these courts in all cases and to secure further sites for further courts whenever this can be done. During tho past few months, tho courts south of the Old Gymnasium have been entirely rebuilt and resurfaced, with new drains, curbs and fences, Tlie East courts at the Stadium will probably receive attention next.

The principal use is over weekends and for various conferancos, 12. When Huff Gymnasium was built, provision v/as made for the sub- sequent addition of a north wing. Such a wing would provide a number of snail roons which would be useful for exercise, s>orts and class purposes. Ho«ever, such a wing could not possibly provide the facililios wanted in tho proposed sports building of iten (8), hence it is recornnenclod that this building pro- ject be deferred until the facilities "oossiblo in the sports building have beon fully determined, 13.

These include completion of the construction of the basement in Kuff Gynnasiun, installation of sotind-insulating r.aterinls in various rooms and completion of unfinished areas under the swimming pool bleachers in Huff GjTinasiun, install- ation of wood floor in tho east wing of the Gymnasium Annex and rehabilitation of locker and shower rooms in the Old G^Tnnasiun.

This represents approximately one-half of the candidates for places in the bands, A ^eat many have stated that that was the deciding factor in their coming here^ The standards and various activities of the bands are woll-known. Suffice it to stf.te that they function as a service department, as President Klnley described it, cooperating primarily with the Military Department, but also the School of Music, the Athletic Department and Radio station WILL, They are subject to call for official University functions, play numerous con- certs for the entertainment of the University' and adjacent civic communities and respond to rnquests by alumni groups, etc, for concerts in other cities. For service in the bands the members receive military credit t Nor- mally the band work talces the place of all the required military. ■'>-'^v?r, during the present oraergeicy the beM work tr-kes the place of hclf the rc- qui^'od military drill. The director's policy has been to bring the members of the bands into contact with a large amount of the best in band music, has personally transcribed manj'' symphonic works otherwise unavailable, and endeavored to pro- vide professional-like experience and roiitine. However, most of the members rre interested in the band work as an avocation rather thc-Ji a vocation. They grasp the opportunity to take part in the band activities along with their various courses.

The University Borxd of Trustees includod it in its ■bien- nial budget requests for the last "biennium and the state legislature concurred wholeheartedly by appropriating $125,000 for the now "building. Complete de- tailed plans were draivn "by the University architect and his staff, ready for construction. Unfortunately, lrj3k of priorities made it inrpossil)le to secure huilding materials so that construction had to he deferred and the rosidum of the eppropriation allowed to Icpse, On the occasion of the inspection "by the General Assenhly in ipril 1941 the University presented the following statement: " The present Br>nd Building was erected in 1917 for military pur- poses. It is of temporary frame construction. In 1928, after the Armory was completed, this building was remodeled and turned over t'^ the Band Department which has been housed there since that time. It is inadequate in size and un- suitable in design and construction for use of the bands. The four band units, with a total enrollment of 350, each meet in this buildii:ig for rehearsals several times a week. In addition to these general rehearsals, the building is used for sectional rehearscls, individual tryouts and periodical examinar- tions for assignment, promotions, etc. At various times during the year, the Band Building houses important meetings of state and national scope. The annual band clinics, which origin- ated here, bring about 500 of the leading bandmasters, particularly school bandmasters, into the Band Building where most of the meetings are held. I r ^ Band Building - page 3 Soc. 9 — 5 Sinco tho building is of infloroablo conBtruction, there is always danger of tho loss by fire of valuable inGtrumonts and nusical scores, A new building should be constructed to remove the fire hazard, to provide a larger and properly desigred rehearsal room with space to accommo- date clinic audiences, and to provide practice rooms for band meraberc, locker space for instruments, storage rooms for trunks, adequate space for tho band library and special rooms for the Sousa Library aiid the Carl Busch Collection of instruments." The condition of the old b dlding is now even worse and is gonerally described as a disgrace to the University cji'i not worthy of this department. In addition to tho fire hazard, dust and dirt sifts in thro-ugh wrils, windows, crevices, etc. In many respects it is overcrowdod. The band library has outgrown its original quarters and has had to bo scattored throughout the building in corridors, in tho officos, excmin'ition room, nzid rohoarsal room. This not only takes up needed office space but causes confusion. The instrument locker room, always inadequate, is badly congestodo There ns need for at leapt three times the present number of lockers for the j.ar^or irit,truments '.vhich cannot be conveniently carried b£3ck and forth. The storeroom for instriunental equipment is also overcrowded and facilities for properly safeguarding tho equipment is lacking,. There is also a total lack of "dead" storage for instrument trunks, shipping cases, etc. Many of these ere now having to be stored in the University library basement and tho Armory, iigain, there li need for at least three times the present space. In the uniform room a maJceshift double-deck arrangement has had to Band Building *- p^e 4 Soc, 9 — 6 bo contrived to talco caro of the 200 "band ovorcOats, uniforms and various Qccossorlos, HI of this has neceosiUated an overlapping of quarters for band equipment and has made it difficult to localize responsibility for tiie oquip- ment, An instrumental repair shop is much needed, A m.^lceshif t arraiigQijent is now crowded into a corner of tho instruraont room. There is a total lack of individual practice rooms and other small rooms needed on occasions when the bands are divided up and rehearsed in do- tail by sections at tho same hour, Tho new building should by rll mcums provide a suitable suite of rooms for the famous Sousa Bend library which the great bandmaster so gen- erously bequeathed to the Univorsity. It is temporarily installed in a suite of rooms in the main Library building where it is taking vcp needed space and is a source of inconvenierce, necessitating innumerable trips by band lib- rarians botwjen the two buildings. Suitable quarters are also needed for tho valuable Carl Eusch Museum collection of old instruments v/hich is also temporarily housed in the Univer- fiity main library.

' The sole redeeming feature of the old building: is its location, which is ideal for the various baiid activities. Adjacent to the Armory, it is convenient for the weekly retreats and other military ceremonies, especially during inclement weather. Also nearby is the specially-marked band drill field neces'^-ary to the diillin^ of the bands in speciril formations. Both of these are vital time-saving factors, as well as safeguards to equipment. The new building should, by all means, be located here. .• I !

INTRODUCTION Tor the past severel months the administrative stpjff of the Univ- ersity Library hps "been engaged in a study of post-war librctry "b-ullding needs. The delay in submitting reconnendations to the Building Coixiittee for expand- ing the library building is not indicative of a lack of urgency but rather the result of the changes in the library administration which occurred in the fall of 1943. Actually, the need for building additions is most urgent if adequate library service is to be given after the war. In a number of ways the library has outgrown its present quarters and provision should also be made for several new activities, described below. The rapid filling of space now available is a roflection of the active efforts made to build up the book collection, and in general to develop here a great research libr-nry. A large increase in the University's enrollment following the war is certain. This fact, added to changes in methods of instruction, heavily emphasizing library research and stud^% will undoubtedly result in more in- tensive use of the library than ever before. Prior to the war the library's reading room facilities were often filled to capacity and we should be pre- pared for even heavier demands in the post-war period. Following is a list, with explanatory comments, of some library services and facilities requiring additional space, II, JffiDITIOUS TO MAIN BUILDIUG 1, -Acquisitions Dopartment t — This dopartmont shares a room with tho Catalog Department.

It then, in 1927, spjnt $112,000 for 15,CX)0 titles annually. Now it spends $165,000 for 29,000 titles. Chock- ing serials constitutes an important part of the work; in 1927 there wore 6,000 titles checknd and in 1942-43 nearly 13,000, In the proseut quarters there is no room for additional equipment or records end the building provides no opportunity for expansion, 2. Cat cJ og Department , — As noted above, space is shared with the Acquisitions Department, The standard requirement for ecxsh catologer is 100 square feet of work space. In 1927 each catalogor had 115 square foet; now only 75 square feet is available, Actually, columns, shelves, counters, and aisles reduce the area to a point less than this and considerable below the standard for efficient work. One branch of the Department, the Card Division, has had to be located on another floor. An important part of the library is the Union Catalog maintained by the Catalog Department and used by graduate students and faculty as well as by the staff for locating books in other lib- raries throughout the country. This file grows at the rate of 100,000 cards each year, requiring 10 square feet annually for expansion. ITo space is avail- able in the present building for expanding the Catalog Department, for consol- idating the Card Division with the Department, or for expanding the Union Car- talog, 3, Libtrary School , — In the years immediately preceding the present War, enrollment in the Library School was so heavy that classroom space had to be found elsewhere on the campus, study space was too limited to accommo- date more than 50 per cent of the students, and there was a short cge of ' • .T .-. /. r-'j ■ .r. :^^: fcl i ^ ;: -: ■ : '"^ f ■':; n. ■*.":.•: C -:.':--■ •■■ '^r ,>:[ «•: ' ^-S.i.!

All these needs must be kept in mind in planning more space for the Library School* 4, Business Records Library . — This collection, now housed in tho basement and a number of other rooms in the College of Commerce building, should be in the library building if space were available. Transfer would release space for other purposes in the Commerce building. The collection supplements material in the general library and would be more effectively and economically administered if it were part of the main library. Its useful- ness would be increased by housing in space adjacent to the present Cor.inerco Library, 5, Illinois Historical Survey . — A similar situation prevails with reference to this collection, now on the fourth floor of Lincoln Hall. The extensive collections of source materials for western history supDlement those In the general University Libtary. Placing them in proximity to the History Reading Room and the historical sections of the main library book stacks would greatly facilitate study and research. •.. i <•; > >:■'• r. -: ilti. ••'•■##* ■,-tjf.-/ . / (» T- ■;' ?/?;i,if^^^'^:^ Library Mditioua - pcge 4 Soc. 9 — 11 6. University of Illinois Collection and Archives . — For some years the Librcjy has collected ell available printed and rarjiuscript mc.teritl ro- lating to tho Univorslty, A beginning has also beon made in developing an archivnl collection, consisting of the official correspondonco and other rec- ords, no longer in active use, of rll r.dniinistrr.tive and tepxihing departments on the ccinpus. Limitations of space have prevented a more ambitious program of collecting, and consequently the files of some offices have beon discarded and lost. Because of tho importance of such records for tho University's history, provision should be made for thair preservation in tho Library, 7.

We would also be able to do necessary repair work on raro books, and to do moro efficiently ordinary repair work needed to keep oirr bool: collections in good condition. Other functions would bo to bind pamphlets in largo numbers, mount and repair platos, maps, manuscripts, otc. It is estimated that establishment of a bindery would require about 2,500 squrxe feet of space, preferably on the first floor or basement. No space is now available, 9. Periodical and Nevsp.oper Reading Room , — No satisfactory r.prjco can now be found for the use of newsp^ers and periodicals, particularly current ■J files. A suitable place to use the excellent collection of bound newspapers is a paramount need and additional space for normal expansion of the collection is also required. A newspaper reeding room could be satisfactorily combined with a r*om for general periodicals, 10, MicrophotograPhv Facilities , — Microphotogr^hic reproduction has become an essential adjunct of literary ajid technical research. Groatly expanded f^cilitios will undoubtedly be required after the war, whem foreign libraries cto reopened. It is also desirable to do photogri^hic copying in the Library to avoid sending rare books out of the building and for speed and promptness in getting the work done. The anticipated increaso in tho use of microfilm will require space to store film as well as room for using projec- tion machines. Present quarters for these functions ere inefficient and in- adequate. From 1000 to 1200 square feet, perhaps in the hasement, would be needed. C*.. '. . J.

The space it occupies will soon have to he vacated for expansion of the public catalogs, for which it was originally planned. The browsing collection is one of the most used a^id appreciated facilities in the Library, 12, Undergre-duate Receding Room, — President Willard, Provost Harno, Dean Carmichael, the Faculty Committee on Library Service to Undergraduate Students, and others have recommended that careful consideration bo given the matter of improved library service for undergraduates, i^parently this need can best be met by providing an undergraduate reading room, containing a care- fully selected collection in all fields of perhaps 10,000 volumes, and with seating space for not less than one third of our normal Freshman-Sophomore enrollment, 13, Mat) Room . — A mep librarian has recently been appointed and plans are under way to organize and make available the Irxge collection of maps now scattered in different units of the Library and of the University. Probably provision should also be made in this room for a working library on geogr^hy for the use of students in geography and other departments, 14, .Mministrfttive Off ip.ea. — Only makeshift offices are now avail- able for the Associate Librarian and for the Assistant Librarian for personnel. The work of these officers is thereby hampered, and staff, students, and faculty members who must consult with them are inconvenienced. The Director's office should be expanded to include space for these two administrators. To provide for the above facilities and services, it is recommended that additions to the present library building be constructed, consisting of an extension 92 feet long, at the north end, and a similar extension at the south end of the building. •' Ji-Siit ..

ADDITIONAL STACK SPACE A. survey of the present stacks shews that on all floox-s the limit of expansion will be reached by 1946. It is estimated that about 60,000 vol- umes or one mile of books are added to the stacks annually. The Library is approaching 2,000:000 volumes in size, more than throe fourths housed in the main building. The present stacks werd designed to hold only 1,500,000 vol- umes. A considerable amount of spree is alro required for current ?jid un- bound periodicals, college catalogs, pamphlets, textbooks, and government publications — not included in our count of volumes. Also, as departmental libraries on the campus become crowded for space it is their practice to weed out their collections and return less active natericls to the main library for shelving, Aiothor service provided in the stacks is individual study cubicles for graduate students and faculty nembers. The present 222 cubicles have proved ins-uf f icient to meet the demands even during the war years. To meet oxpgnsion needs of the next 15 years, two new stack units, designated as fourth and fifth, should be ad.ded. Each unit provides space for shelving rp-oro xiraat ely 500,000 volumes, Wlien a stack unit is erected, it is necessary to shift the entire book collection — a time-consuning and ox- pensive operation. For this reason as well, as for oconoray in construction, it is desirable to build the tv7o stack units simultaneously, IV. JOLERiTIZATIOlT OF BC^UIPMEM' 1, Lighting .

INTRODUCTION In a recent letter to you, I made the suggestion of the possihlllty of planning for the control housing of all of oor University offices dealing with student life and welfare. In general this would provide for the housing of all of the offices and most of the functions which were incorporated in our Dean of Students organization which was established on August 31, 1943, At that time, the Board of Trustees f^jpointed a new general University officer, the Dean of Students, charged with the responsibility of assuming tho recogni- tion of the hroad responsihility for the entire life of the student while ha is living in the academic community, with the objective of providing the opti- raian conditions for his academic endeavors. The Deen of Students was placed in charge of and asked to unify and coordinate all agencies interested in the students' physical well being, both in living quarters and personally, in their social and recreational activities, and in the improvement of the cultural level of all phases of student life outside the classroom. Existing officers who were placed at once in the organization of tho Doan of Students included the Dean of Men, including all of his functions, the Student Employment Office, the Dean of Women, the Division of Student Housing, social, educational, and cultural programs in the Residence Halls, all phases of student activities, and the Health Service Station. Certain other functions were included, but these functions are carried on in buildings primarily in- tended for the purpose, and need not be considered in this statement. All of the aforesaid offices and functions are housed somewhere at the present time, and this recommendation that they be placed in a special central buildi:Tg for •n ■":'/'■' ( ; A r.

(See Project General 4) This division is node for tho reason that the need for rehousing the Health Service is perhaps one of the most pressi-ig needs we have at the present tine, &M deserves special mention throughout this nenjorandun. The various offices concernod including the Health Service, could be housed in one "building, provided a design giving special ontrgjices and more or less separate -units for the Health Service were provided; it night seen wiser to house tho Health Service in a separate "build- ing, but if this wore done, it should "bo very close to the building housing the other offices of the division of student life and welfare, and possibly connected by tunnel, ranp, or corridor, II. PUNCTIOHS OF TH3 ViHIOUS DIVISIONS 1. Dean of Students . — The Dean of Students is the supervising, unifying, and coordinating officer in charge of all agencies interested in the students' physical well being, both in living quarters and personally, in their social and recreational activities, and in the improvement of tho cultural level of all phases of student life outside the classroom. Ho is charged with the brood responsibility for the entire life of the student while he is living in the University Coonunity, with the objective of providing the most favorable conditions for the acadenic endeavors of the student. His ^pointraent, and the creation of the adrainistrative -unit on the canpus is the result of several careful studies, and the organization is strictly in line with oodern educa- tional practice.

He and his staff serve as general advisers, and as a clearing house for almost every variety of student prolDlerao Ho works with individuals, with organizations, with frntarnitias, and with faculty-student relations. Almost any type of student problem may have preliminary consideration in the Office of the Dean of M&n^ and from there either to settled or referred to the pro- per office for hrndling* 3. Student Employme nt Office . — Is maintained for the express pur- pose of assisting students who must seek work for flnanciel assistance to en- able them to continue with their educations. The office registers £$)plicaiits, classifies them according to their abilities and cptitudes, and places tho students in temporary or permanent jobs. Continuous employment records are kept of all student workers. Student workers on University payrolls are cert- ified through this office. In addition, the omploytnGnt office sorvos as the central placement office for the placement of students and alumni in cases which cross department and college lines and where placement officers are seek- ing workers regardless of their special preparation. 4. Dean of Women .— Serves in the sane capacity for student women as does the Dean of Men, as described in No. 2. 5. Division of Student Housing . — ^Was established to accomplish two objectives; to serve as a central listing office for all student living accommodations, except Residence Halls operated by the University, and to es- tablish standards for these accommodations which would meet all accepted and recognized stazidards for living facilities. ^uorters for Dean of Studonts r.nd Stoff - psgo ^ Soc. 9 — 18 6.

The Dean of Studonts is not charged with tho operation of tJio halls but is with tho social, educational, and cultural progrcms in theso halls. 7, Confereiyo Rooms, — Numerous conference rooms ar-s in constant demand for student meetings (which have already exceeded tho space avail ahlo In the mini Union) for Fac-ulty- Student Meetings and Conferences, for Placo- nent Officers who visit the campus, and numerous other miscellaneous meetings wMch constantly taJco place on tho campus, III. DiP.ARRffilIT LOAD A general statement covering all offices involved under the Doah of Students Orgrnization will cover this matter. In ycrrs of normal registrer- tions, these offices all soomed to ho operatirig to capacity with present space and equipment. With reduced war time registrations, it would he logical to assume that the business load of these offices has been reduced proportion- ately. Such is not the case, however; and all of these offices operate at capacity all the time, in spite of the lowered registration. If tho regis- tration should increase as predicted, it would become essential that space for additional assistants in every office bo provided. IV. PRESEOT SPACE 1, The Dean of Men and Dem of Students occupy 1950 sq, ft. of space on the first floor of the Administration Building, West. 2, The Employment Office has 1120 sq. ft. of space on the first floor of Adninistration Building, East. 3, The DeaJi of Women has 1540 sq. ft. of space In the Wonf:i*s Build- ing, -.f'r '■ <■'■■ ! ..■'•■'^;<: ■ ■■J ■; ■■■ i. r ., : . ■ ;■> ;rv Quarters for Doan of Students and Staff - page 5 Soc. 9 — 19 4* Tho Student Housing Dltision has 1030 sq. ft. on tho first floor of Illlnl Hall. 5, Tho Rosidence Halls Division has 1000 sq. ft. of space on tho first floor of Illini Hall. 6.

POST I7iR DETELOPMSHT The est ribli slime nt of the Office of the Dean of Students was made on the follo^7ing bases: "It is planned to proceed gradually in transferring various agencies dealing with the extracurricular life and activities of stu- dents so that the new officer may have time to study and take over his now re- sponsihilities effectively." While certain offices listed above were trans- ferred at once, there is still a consider ahle ajnount of study necessary hoforG making final disposition of certain departments, i It seems clear and logical that these offices could "be housed more efficiently in tho same huilding, than scattered through three as they are now, Purtherracre, the quality of the space for certain of those offices is definitely suhstaiidard, and since tliese offices are the first ones visited hy most new students and their parents, a much "better impression of the Univer- sity would he gained hy these people if they were handled more efficiently and in more attractive office space. TI. PROPOSED HEW SPACE It is estimated that the floor areas needed for these offices in a new "building are as follows: •,r' ■<."■; c?

VII. SmMJiRY It Is reconraended that 12,600 square foot of floor space be pro- vided in a romodelod, ne;? or new wing of a building, so that all of the offices coaing under the Dean of Students can be housed centrally and more attractively.

A safe water supply, proper disposal of sewage, clean, pasteurized milk, and carefully inspected food are essentials of good living conditions, Meqtuate protection for those handling injurious substances, using lethal gases, or coming in contact with plants or animals capable of producing disease, is an important consideration in the provision of a health- fill environment, 2, Health Examination . — A health examination of "all students enter- ing the University for the first time" has been required since action by the Board of Trustees on March 12, 1918, It serves as an inventory of the phy- sical and mental health of students, and provides the information essential for their classification for military training and physical education, and the correction and alleviation of defects and abnormalities, A medical examination makes possible the diagnosis of disease in its incipiency, the prompt institution of treatmeht, and the taking of immediate action for the control of communicable disease, 3, Prevention and Control of Comngnicable Disease , — The Health Ser- vice uses every prajcticable means to prevent and control communicable disease among students, faculty, and employees.

Immunization against smallpox and tjphoid fever has beon continf- uously promoted by a cappaign of education. Early diagnosis of communicable disease is essenticl in the pre- vention of its Gprj.-'jd. 4, First Aid in Accident and Illness . — The Health Service main- tains a dispensai'y for rnbulatory cases of accident or illness. This service is essential to detect comrninic abl e disease in its incipiency and to reduce to a minimum the danger of serious infections resultiiv^ from miner injuries. It promotes pronpt liospitalization which does much to reduce the severity of Illnesses and injuries so often caused by delay or neglect. Dispensary ser- vice also makes possible quick referral of the ill and injured to competent physicians and specialists, 5, Promotion of Mental Health. — Tlie Health Service from its begin- ning has accepted as self-evident that students not only need sound bodies and sound minds, but also wholesome, disciplined emotions, and a keen senso of social responsibility. At the time of the pliysical examination, efforts aro made to detect students who may be nervously unstable or who give evidence of being maladjusted. 6, Health Education . — As the functions of the Health Service of Illinois are primarily preventive and educational rather than therapeutic, sustained efforts are made to enco-urp^o students to acquire good health habits and to adopt an attitude towards personal and community health which will carry over into life and prove an advantage to them, their families, their con- nunities, and the Nation, '■ V^ .',■■' 't ■ i •' University Eeclth Service - pc^e 3 Sec. 9 — 23 Enphasis has "been placed on the attainment of /^ood phyoicol health and mental toughness essentirl to raoet with equanimity the vicissitudes of life, to withstand the strenuousness of the times, and to insure socicl vigor.

DSPJfflTMElTT LOAD On March 18, 1918, the Board of Trustees passed a regulation requir- ing all new students to bo examined on matriculation. There were 3,214 stu- dents •xaadnod that year. The number of students given physical oxamnatlons has varied from 3,131 to 5,456, most of them coning to the campus for the pur- pose at registration tine. The number of calls to the Health Service has ranged from 7,262 to 85,650 per year. How many ti:nes an individual will call for service or advice is governed by several factors. For example, in 1938, during a period of nine days there were 22,686 visits made to the Health Service because of a threatened smallpox opidenic. During 1943, in add"ition to the visits made by students and onployoes. Array trainees now steiioned on the campus made 38,290 visits for medical ser- vice between ipril 1, 1943, and February 1, 1944. Visits increase as the en- :ivX':o:' .^':'^: . 3* i •/•'<■ ::;;!;y:v.

PRSSEIJT SPi^E The praeent Health Service, with 9,860 square feet of space, wa3 "built 50 years ago as the residence of the President of the University, It was not huilt for use as offices for physicians. It is poorly arranged re- sulting in much waste spaco. On the first floor are four large rooms serving as offices for nino male pliysicians, a small hall way end. a part of an ad- joining room have to serve as a waiting room and desk space for files and clerks. The offices fire too large for highest efficiency and the waiting room and desk space, fnr too small. Storage space is ill arranged and too small. The second floor houses three pliysician offices, a women's waiting room, the main office and two small rooms. Tho two small rooms are used for storage e-f files, a large apparatus for testing of automobile drivors and as a place for clerks to work. The space provided is totally inadequate and frequently it is nocessrry to hcve student clerks working on the third floor which is of attic construction. The entire building of trene construction is a fire hazard, IV. POST WiR DEVELOPimiT The trend towards more adequate raodical care of students, oinployeos, and faculty, together with the anticipated increased University enrollment will materially increase the number of calls at the Health Service Station and eniphasize its inadequacy for the purpose for which it is being used.

SUMMiRY A new building or part of a building should be provided for the Health Service Station, to provide at least 16,000 square feet of space. This should be a part or have easy access to the building which houses other wel- fare and service offices interested in student life. ;■ V. .' C7.f ■ ;;^. (i'f- .^/Ci. e.'^ ■' V.:.

INTRODUCTION Tho Univorsity Pross was officially organizod in 1918, following sovoraL yoars of study and discussion, during which tino th;^ editorial and printing to rk was uiider tho supervision of the Assistant Registrar. The Univ- ersity StatutoB (Sec, 22) provided that the Director of the Univorsity Press "shall havo charga of the work of oditing, printing, and diatrltutlng the pub- lications of tho University,"' Tho Board of Trustees, in ^wdop^ing this regulation, had in mind the advantages and ocononics of a unified direction and control of our printing and publishing activities. The administration and the Board have in recent years become increasingly aware of the importance of these activities. In 1940, a conmittee of the faculty, with Dean Ccrmichael as Chairman, wo^ ap- pointed to study and make recommendations looking to the development of a pro- gram of the publication of scholarly books. The Director of tho Press visited all the in^ortant univorsity presses east of tho Mississippi River, and his findings were made the basis of a re- port to tho President looking to the better organization and support of the Press, impropriations for tho publication of scholarly books for 1943 wore $25,000, and for 1944, $15,000. With these funds seven books in eight volumes, a total of 4348 pages, were published in 1943 and early in 1944. Two complete books and the major part of a third (1445 pages) were printed, but not bound, in our own plant. Tho entire work of editing these manuscripts for the printer, designing the formats and the bindings, placing the contracts, and seeing the books through tho pross was assumed by the Director of the Press, This was • ..

Unlverelty Preee Building - pc^go 2 Sec. 9 — 27 possiblo oiily through the most active, loyal, and intelligont cooperation "by the Suporintendont aiid hie force and by the Bevoral authnre. For 1944, three voluraes havo bGon approved nnd the work is in progress. The Bale of snch hooks is slow, and storage facilities must he pro- vided for a large stock. The Board of Trustees in 1941 appointed Mr, John R. Fornof as a spocicl corarlttee to consider the propor developuent of the Press, Mr. Fornof reported on Novenher 18, 1941, and the '-Director of tho University was in- structed to fornulate and present a long-torn program for the developinent of tho Press," This natter has "been tlie subject of study ever since. During tho year ending June 30, 1943, the total cost of labor and materials in the University Press was slightly under $150^000, on a not basis, not including cjiy charges for rent, insurance, taxos, profit, etc. On a con- nercial basis, this would represent a business of tho order of a quarter of a million dollars a year. This includes such najor T)ioces as the j^nual Regis- ter, Reports of the Board of Trustees, Tine Tables, directories, college pnd dcpartnontal bulletins and circulars, GgrictilturrJL md engineering experiment station publications, and the stationery, blanks, and other printed natter necessary in the operation of the University. These needs increase with the growth and ezpansion of the progr on of t":e University, end. require increasing investment in nachinory and equipment and grov/ing personnel in all branches of the Press, II. BUILDING FOR UNIVERSITY PRESS A building for the University Prass should house under a central and unified direction all its activities, including the editing, manufacture, '• i '•- ;t. t •■ . t. C* . , x-.-^- Unlvorsity Pross Bullv^iriifii; - pa,f;o 3 Soc. 9 *-- 28 stor£€3, and distribution of its publications. It should provide spoce for other rolated services, such as niinoo^rcpliin^, addresslrv^, photo^rapliy and "bluepriiitiiig, and office supply and paper stock. Such a building night be a T-or L-shaped structure, with a one-story wing for the nanuf acturing plejit and paper stock, and with close connections to the nailing and storego roons. The rrgi^nont for nore space for lxI owe deportnonts a;id branches nay bo sunned up in the statanont that the Itoss has never had adequp.te and suit- able space to provide for its staff and equipnent and for the work it has had to do without any consideration of fut\aro growth© The plant is now located" in a basenent, with insufficient space for its present volume of work. The proof-road.ers attached to the shop are located on the third floor, away from the Superintendent's office, and also seprxated fron the Director's office. The Director's and editorial offices ere nuch overcrowded as well as im- properly arranged for the kind of work to be done, III, THE NJiTURE OF SDITORIili WORK Editorial work requires intense concentration. It is necessary that all persons engaged in this work be given adequate space and that they be pro- tected fron noise and fron interruption. It is highly desirable also that they be able to spread their naterial around and to leave it withjout danger that it will be noved or disturbed. Editors nust hold conferences with authors and representatives of departnonts. For these reasons, editors should hove a private office or workroons, with space for desks, typewriters, and work tables. They should have also access to conference roons, which should be clear when not in use, for consultation when their own roons can not be used for that purpose. Uiilvorsity Press Building - pngo 4 Soc. 9 — 29 Cubiclos 8ho\ild bo provided for authors viho wish to work on r.am>- Bcrlpts, proofs, otc. Similar cubicles should bo provided for teons of proofreaders and copyholders. The public office should bo lex^e ono-ugh to rcconncdate the office nonagor, with her assistants, tind also to x^J^ovide spr.co ahd chairs for persona waiting to confer with the Director and merbers of the stpff. Considerable tho-Uf^ht should bo given to the location and arrai:!genent of this roon and its relation to the acveral offices for which it will be the XJ'ublic entraxicGo IV. SUMMjfflY OF SPi^DE NEEDED The following estinato of space needed is based on a consideration of the needs of our prosont staff snd functions, with sorae thow^ht for the future, Tlie needs of the man\if acturin<» department have been covered by Mr, C. E. Hermem, Superintendent, in a report dated February 5, 1944, which follows this statenent. A sumary of the space needed follows: Square Foot 1, Central public office, with Director's and editorial offices, etc, 5,000 2, Storcge of books and periodicals 5,000 3, Central nailing roon, addresso^rrphs,. nli-.oo- graphing, stenographic bureau, etc, 5,000 4, Manufacturing 25,000 5, Paper stock, supplies, etc, 12,000 6, Photograpliy, blueprintinf^, photostating, emd similar processes 5,000 57,000 •,: ^^■^■ ■■.i' I-.. .

Directors offic e, Editoria l off icos . etc . — This includes public €Uid private offices, conference rooms, authors' cubicles, reference library, work rooms, coat rooms, vault for storage of manuscripts, and. otheir space for the Director, editors. University hlstorlaxi, assistants, ani temporary help. Mvertlsing and solos, with their records, sliould be providod for in the main office. Thought should be given also to the reltdion of the IlUnl Union Book Store to the Press, 8. Storage of Sc holarly Book s and. Pcrirdicc.lG . — Tliese are not the creatures of fc day, with wide popular appeal. On the contrary, they belong to oil time, and their 55)peal is to highly restricted gvo-aps. They may not be considered on a commercial basis. They aro slow-moving. It usually takes many years to produce the ma^nuscript. After the manuscript has been con>- pleted by the author, oxtended conferences with the editors and printers will usually be necessary^ so that many months may bo needed for editing azid print- ing, and us-'oaLly it takes two years to get a competent review written and pib- lished. The costs of publications are great; the results are extremely valuable and worth while, No university cai be regarded of the first raiik unless it supports and promotes the publication of these works on a saale com- parable with the size of its staff and their ability in rGsearch and the pro- duction of original material. It is evident that the publication of scholarly works imraodiately involves the question of stor^e. Enough copies of the book must be printed to satisfy the demand for many years - during which the books must be stored in a safe and accessible space. The University of Illinois has not published a large number of books; yot wo have no suitable space for stor£ge; the spa: e Univorsity Ptosb Building - pogo S Sec. 9 — 31 we ore using is mostly in "basomonts, whoro there is dangor of mildew if not actual flooding, and the books aro not roodily access iblo. One of the main functions of a now building will be to provide spoco for the stor-r^e of books, with a work-roon for preparation for mailing. Humidity control is desirable. 3. MailiiTg room, etc. — Many of the bulletins and circulrrs of tho Univorsity are onterod as second-class nail under the generdl titlo "Univer- sity of Illinois Bulletin." This entitles nailing at a low rate of postago. It also subjects tho nailing to the regulations established by the U. S, Pbs tel autliorlties. It is higlaly desirable that a central mailing room be established for those publications. The utmost economy would be promoted if this nailing room could be adjacent to the bindery, so that the cupply of bulletins for innediate nailin.^ cOTild be delivered there for ar'.dres^'in^, sorting, packaging, and delivery to the post office. Convenient storage for a snail supply to neot demands after the first nailing should be provided, Mdrossographs, as v/oll as nineo graphing, stenographic, and similar service now included in the Information Office and Stenographic Bureau, shotJ-d be included here, 4, Manufacturing . — See Mr. Hernrn's report. This is of course tho largest single unit and presents the greatest need, 5, Paper Stock and Suoplies. — See Mr, Herman's report, 6. Photography.

It should "bo as control as poseiblo, for easy access to Its facilities by nany persons from all parts of the University; its Director and editors should "be able to ^ot to dopartnontcl offices, the Library, otc, with raininuin los^: of tine, And of course close connection between the Direoior and the Superintendent, and between tho editors and tho plant are ossontlpl. This matter was the subject of study nearly thirty years ago, and tho Board of Trustees purchased In 1917 a lot on Sixth street, Chactpalgn, directly west of Baver^rt house, and assigned it as a site for the University Press. Time has not charv^ed the desirability and convenience of this location. If tho manufacturing wing could be built on the original lot, and connected to an office wing on the present site of Davenport House, the Press would b« accessible to the colleges and departments, to tho administrative offices, to both postal substations in the University district, and to the public. Prepared by: H. E, Cunningham Director of University Press SUPPLEMENTARY STATEMENT The manuf actiiring facilities of the University Press outgrew tholr present quarters several years ago. For the following reasons this condition should be corrected as soon as possible; (l) Due to the daily strain on our facilities we are constantly faced with the possibility of falling to deliver Important printed material on time. -T r- -.<.-7t.- «;..-'-i: , f yVr -:■:■> : i"i ''•• ey ••■• ■•.•■.»• )?■,. 1 . ■' ..■^5.?>.'^ Univorslty Proes Buildiiig - pogo 8 Sec, 9 — 23 (2) Our liraltod spnce dooB not allow us to follow efficient pro- duction practice So (5) Eloctric linos cro loo.ded to their limit, or practicaLly co. (4) Wo havo no firo-proof storage for gasoliro, alcohol, and othor cleaners we must use, (5) The printing plant produces considerable work of a confidential nature— ct procent almost any one and every one can pass in and out of our press room and bindery. (In lino with fu].l correction of this the Director of the Press should have control over all people connected with the GrepMc Arts Building.) (6) Humidity control ( probably air-conditioning) should bo pro~ vidod for the subdivisions of the shop which handle paper f I.e., the press rooms, the bindery, the p.^er store room, and the room in which book stocks ero stored, (7) To quote Dr, J. Howard Beard, U. of I. Health Officer: "... the Sanitary conditions of the shop are obsolete, and definitely more haz£jrd- ous than the risks now associated with the printing industry under modern conditions." (Report of Dr. Beard to President Willerd, dated Januoxy 24, 1941.* The first column of the following table shows the space now occupied by the several subdivisions of the printing dcpnrtmont of the University Press. The second column shows an estim.'^.tcrl space which would allow each subdivision to handle its work efficiently up to considerable more than is being dono. It is obvious that the space suggested will allow for considerable expansion, (it is rjso obvious tl-rt i'^-cur prjs.j:-t quarters we have only a portion of the space we should have.)

The assistant superintendent should be provided with spape enough for two desks emd a dr?y/ing table. There should be space for a commercial artist, Conaidoroble money could be saved and the University printing could be more effective if better designed. We do some very good work now — but there should be on over-all ini- provement. There should be twice as much filing space in the office for cost records and other material which is now discarded too soon. We should keep then about two and one half years. ■.:..) '^■'hf- £ • i <- '• Unlvorsity Pross Building - pngo 10 Soc. 9 — 35 Tho details of our cost systom t;Oce the tlno of throe persons. At present two of these desks are directly adjacent which does not pror.ioto effi- ciency. There should be loclcors, a rest room, and toilet facilitlGs for tho office v/orksrs and proofreaders. The rest room would bo available to dl fonaLo e::iployees of the printing plant. There should bo siafficient bookcase space in the office that we could save at least one sample of tho outstanding books we manufacturei Also there should bo provided space for a suitable case to file sanples of other work produced in the shop. Proof Room . — During pealc tines v/e need the services of as naiiy as five readers. Ej.ch of these groups should be separated far enough that tho voices of one group do hot interfere wit?i those of another. There should also be space in the proof roon for a goodly assoi^t- nent of work produced in the shop, I estimate that 600 sq, ft. would house the proof room properly. Composing Room, — At present the composing room is very crov/ded and poorly ventilated. It occupies portions of three rooms and a portion of the basement corridor (the latter is in violation of State Fire Lows), While the monotype equipment is definitely a part of the composing roon it sho-uld be partitioned off with as nearly a sound proof wall as would be practical. Under present conditions this noise causes the other workers to lose their efficiency much sooner th^pn they would if the work room wore more quiet, Tho no no type equipment we hav^e needs three tines the space it now occupies. ir-"'^^ Unlvorsity Ptobb Building - pt^o 11 Soc, 9 — 36 We obould hnvo ono more llnotypo nncliino, ALso epaco sho-uld be pro- vidod for a fourth linotype If and wlion it is noodod. We should have additional faces of book types » The character of the work and the reputation of the University Press would "bo onhanced if wo had edditlonal typo faces. Wo should add a 1 ine-up table for dratyin^; off book for..is to be siiro they are in register, (The method we have followed depends to'^ nuch upon the ability of the individ\ial doing tho work.) W* should have a nochanical device for tostiiig the hoight of printing platos before they go to the press. Our composing room should be equipped with a proof press of such precise construction that forns up to tho Miohle Vertical size could be tested and adjusted for ro^istration before they go to press, (Tinie and cost tests prove the econonj'- of the plan of having forns in as nearly perfect condition as possible at the tine they are put on the printing press. Under present conditions we lose a good rnajiy hours of press-running tine each year because of lack of space in the composing room to do this preparation before the foras go on the press,) Olhore should be space enough between the inposin,T tables that lift- ing devices could be installed for getting the heavy forns up and down, (Under present conditions there is daiiger that the men will bo injured when lifting type forns,) In connection with the composing room there should be a storas;e space for odds and ends which should not be in the work room proper. Space for standing typo should be increased. ■* ' J "'i. •?'• University Press Building - -page 12 Sec. 9 — 37 There should be separate lockers, wash room and toilet facilities for the workers in this group. At present these poople do not have ovon a decent place to hang their coats. Press Room . — Our press room should be oquipt)cd with ohe additional automatic cylinder press and enough extra spece to later install a fourth cylinder if it is needed. In connection with the press room there should be a room for storing roller boxas, oil, type cleaners, and other items which should not be in the work room. The press room should be provided locker, wash room, and toilet facilities. Offse t Press .aad Equj-pnent . — The J/fultilith (offset) equipment which was added in 1941 has proven to bo of value to the several departments of the University. This little machine has already allowed us to take down at least two tens of standing forms. This sxabdivision should be given much considera- tion in any plan for expansion. Probably the next step to take in expending these facilities would be to install a 17" x 22" press and a camera which would take film that size. Also, there should be space enough that a 21" x 25" press could be installed later. (This latter size would allow us to print in one signature a 16-pag9 6" x 9" book.) Bindery . — To properly care for only the binding we sre doing at pre- sent the space for this department should bo expended four times. An increase to 7000 sq, ft, for this subdivision would not be too great. To our bindery equipment should be added a book triramir^ machine to take care of the thousands of books we trim each year, A book trimmer woiLLd inprove the quality of our work and would save considerable money. ,:•.

We should have one more snail folding machinei Space should be provided for one no re largo folder * Our model B Cleveland folder will not fold to precise register and should be replaced with a folder of the Cleveland MM typo. We should have space enough in our bindery that we could keep our circular rotating gathering table sot up at all tines. At present v/e do not get anything like the full alvantage of this piece of equipoent. In connection with the bindery there should also be considerable storage space for shipiDin^^ boxes. There should be locker, wash roon, a:id toilet facilities for the men. Also, there should be suitpbile looker and toilet facilities for the wonen. Utilities . — ALl of the nanufacturing divisions of a printing plant require electricity, gas and water. A careful study v/ill bo required to detei nine adequacy. Mequate lighting should be installed. Office Supply . — Whatever nove is nr.de toward providing new quarters for the Print Shop should include adequate rjrovision for the Office Supply Store, From the standpoint of enployihg a conpetont person to take charge of our paper stock it would be advantageous to continue the present relationship between these departments.

Row the Print Shop operates efficiently in such crajnpod sprjcc is difficult to underst.ind. The basement of the Administration Buildings used to liouse the shop, is totally uneuited* !Nbt dhly is thoro a decided shortage of necessary work- ing space, but the roons ore dark, poorly ventilated, and ill-suited for efficient production. The glare fron the lights in the shop office creates a situation harnful to the eyes as oho may attcnt after only a short exper- ience. Some now orrargenient should be nade innediately for a roon for the proof renders who at present are cooped up in an air ti-^ht glass cage in the middle of the work roor.:.

Thus the only possible publishers of scholarly works are tho univ- ersity presses rjid some universities have made notable contributions along this line. Illustrative of the point I mal:e is tho r ocont publication by the University of Illinois Press, "GEHEPJC HELJffllONSHIPS OF THE DOLICHOPODIDAE (DIPTERjO BJiSED ON A STUDY OF TEE MOUTH? jfflTS", by Sister Maxy Bortha Crogon, R.S.M. This is a highly technical monograph, but of sufficiont value to attract a very favorable review in the "Amials of tho Entomological Society of Anerica" September 1941 issue. Tho last paragraph of this review is of particular interest: "Besides tho excellence of tho work itself we are pleased that a mere state university, state controlled, can find funds for publications cf this size. All honor to the University of Illinois". I would recommend that the Director of the University of Illinois Press by authorized to make an extensive progrrjn for future dcvelopxaont of the Press, both from the standpoint cf production and publication of learned University Preas Building - poge 18 Sec. 9 — 43 works, I wotdd s-u/i^gest nlso that he explore the possilDilities of a "building Suitable for the offices and shop, that he study the question of comlDining the shop of the mini Publishing Co. with the Press. Also out of the work of the University Press might evolve a course of printing engineering in connection with the School of Journalism, for many of the journalism st\idents plan to enter the small newspj^per field where job print in^'j is an import ont factor in the business; also thr^.t the Director of the Press be authorized the possibi- lities of enlarging the bindery to take oexe of the bindi'ig for the library. I iiope ell the Trustees will avail themselves of the opport-unity to inspect the print shop of the University Press and will give heed to the value of the Press as an agency for preserving valuable v/orks in print which other- wise might be lost. On motion of Mr, Jensen, this report was adopted, and the Director of the University Press was instructod to formulate and present a long-term program for the developipent of the Press; a:ad the special committee was con- tinued for further study and subsequent report on the progress of the Press.

S — UU PROJECT GSII, ^ RSSI DEHCE HALLS K)R UNDERGRADUATE 3 A study of the housin/; of our students shows that we have just ahout reached the saturation point of . accoramodationG, and had reached it in 1939 1 when v;e had our peak enrollment, A st\i.dy of Tahle I, indicated thpt if we reach an estimated onrollnent of from lU,000 to l6,000 students in the post-war period, we will he short on housing accoramodations for fron 2,512 to ^i512 students. At the time of our peolc enrollment, we had utilized some suhstandard facilities in order to accommodate the group at tlis.t time. The first conclusion is that we must construct some dormitories if v/e are to accommodate the group we expect after the war, A comparison of dormitory facilities for men and wemen ajid total student "body at the University of Illinois and six other Big Ten universities is made on Tahles II and III, These tahles indicate that Illinois has the lowest percentage of its women in dormitories in the seven considered, next to lowest percentage of men accommodated, and the lowest percentat'^e on the total of men and women, Tlie second conclusion which can he drawn is that, if university operated dormitory facilities are desirahlc, and we assume they are, the Uni- versity of Illinois is generally behind neighboring institutions in providing this type of housing. The next question to "be answered is how soon such a program should "be started, and the only conclusion is that it should he started just as soon as possible after building restrictions arc lifted and building can begin. It seems clear that we have reached our limit of housing with present accommo- dations, and additional people will have to be satisfied that we have accommo- dations for thorn before they will be interested in coming tc this university.

If this conclusion is logical, then the next matter to consider is what type of dormitory should he "built, and what level of standards should "be met. It is my opinion that the standard of construction should "be of average good quality. It should not trend toward luxurious, nor should it "be of sub- standard quality. We could scarcely justify the first, and we should not tolerate the second. It is also ray opinion that, in "building dormitories, we should not expect to house any particular group of undergraduates in these "buildings, for example, I woaild not favor dormitories for freslimen or for «<.aj.uwiiuu iiajLiG ~ pn^O ^ llo-., ij -- 4L seniors, or for any particular class; I believe they should bo constructed for the housing of a cress section of the student body, maintaining the pro-- portions of seniors, juniors, sophomores, and frcshrncn in the student body. Educationally this proposal is sound. The one exception which I would favor in this proposal would be a separate housin- unit for graduate students but constructed as a unit of small apartments with more expensive accoirraodations. more private conveniences, etc. Table II, Residence Halls in Big Ton Schools, 19^-1+1 Big Ten S chools Northwestern (Evanston) Women Men Total W isconsin Women Men Total Michigan Women Men Total Indiana (Blooraington) Women Men Total Purdue Women Men Total Minnesota Women Men Total Iowa (lowa City) Women Men Total Il linois (Urbana) Women Men Total dumber in Residence , .Halls Enrolled U03 302 705 76s 1.182 1,950 1,023 Ll52I 2,550 701 1,0S6 3S5 1^0_i6 1>01 976 1,512 666 liM 2.153 2,219 2^21 5,1^0 3,905 g»107 12,012 3,609 11,952 I,g05 3,520 5,385 l,Ug2 7,277 5,93^ l o,go6 IbVT^O 2.325 6.i Percent in Residence Halls IS.l loa 13.7 19.6 1^.5 16.2 22.3 21.3 52 50 202 3,011 -^^061 11,072 32.6 10.6 20.1 25.7 19^2 16.U 9.0 22.0 33.0 31.3 11.2 7.2 Residence Halls - page U .

It is proposed to construct those additions at this time, involving 82,000 square foot of floor space at a cost of ■:^800, 000, This estimate is based on construction of two wings 50 feet in width, four stories in helghth, extending the full depth of tho present two units. This is needed , 1, To relievo the serious shortage of cdministrative space on the campus. At the present tine, there are few if arxy adninistrative units in the building adequately or satisfactorily housed due to present limitations of space, 2, The construction of these wings will provide horizontal connec- tions at each floor level between the present east and west units of the Ad- ministration Building, removing a groat deal of inconvenience that now exists relative to passage between the offices in the two units. Administration Building East was origlnnlly constructed as a classroom building. When jld- ministration Building West was used for administrative offices only, there was little need for communication between the two units. At the present time there is a great deal of traffic between the offices which can only be accomplished between offices in upper floors by descending to the first story or by means of the Walks on the exterior bet;veen the two units and then ascending to the floor desired. In tho case of some offices, many such trips must be made each day. 3, No elevator is provided in Aiministration East. When that build- ing is used for administrative purposes an elevator is quite essential. If .■!_'«i ;. T'S.x ^^-no^ y^J: :':. V/.; !; ^^:H J ;'.. • • '• •-'■.•l";.'Tft'-:e.

PECEIVINg ST;ffiJON .AKD WAREHOUSE The Univdrsity roceives m.-iiy shipnents by railrOrid freight, notor freight, express, r.icil and locci dolivory* Thoro is no control rocoiving point on the ccmpus to which deliveries can be nacle or thro-ugh which they night be elected and it is necessary for e^-ixjloyees of the various carriers and vendors to locate smd naJra deliveries to University depj^xtnents. Theso indi- viduals are not always faniliar with the csnpus and the result is that num- erous deliveries are nado to the wro^ig point. The need for a central receiving station has long been recognized but duo to the fact that no suitable location has been available such a r9- ceiving station has not been established. If suitable housing for a receiving station could be provided, it would ndco possible proper control of incoming and outgoing shipnents. The following ctre some of the advantages which T/ould result: 1. Deliveries would be nade by University trucks or by other neans under definite instructions which wo-uld insure deliveries to the proper des- tination. Is indicated above, deliveries are now often nade to wrong depart- ment s, resulting in delays and inconveniences, 2. Reports of receipt of naterial would be promptly available to the Purchasing Division. At present such reports are not made promptly, result- ing In considerable inconvenience and also loss of cash discounts, 3. Facilities would be available for proper unpacking of shipnents. Shipments are now delivered to departments, some of which do not have facilities and personnel for unpacking, which results in added expense to departments and, occasionally, damage to materials received. h .;,.;> vv/J.i \'^)i!nja;i.^^^^- I'.'-- ».••'. • ,T\ • •; •:." •V ■ : •■ ..U-'^/^ T. -■ •■'•■ •: 7 ,..y.r.::-^ Receiviii<5 Station and \7arohou8e - p£u;o 2 Soc. 9 — 54 4, Proript Infornation concornin^ dona'^e to natoriale in transit would bo available for filln-^ of clains, 5, Use of caapus drives by coranorcirl veliiclos would be olinln- ated« 6, Under present conditions we havo practically no control of shipments .^in^ out of the University.

PRESENT ACTIVITIES According; to the statement of general policy approved "by the Board of Trustees Decenber IS, 1939, Station VJ~l~L^L is operated "'because the University has important material that it can offer to the people of the State not availal^le throue^h other channels. The function of the station is to distri"bute such material in the interests of higher education and scientific research, to contrihute to the "better appreciation of the arts and a hotter understancling of the social, economic and civic prohlems of the State and Nation, to present the services of educational agencies, to foster and aid public education, to report developments in science, and offer un- colored factual material on questions of general interest© " Like other radio stations, IhI^I-L-L is a ^oinf'^ concern every day from the minute it f^oes on the air at 7 o'clock in the mornin,^ until local sunset as determined by the Federal Comrriunications Commission, The year end- ing June 30 » 19^3* W-I-L-L was on the air ^,226 hours, or almost 12 hours each day. This was an increase of 667 hours over 19^2, Some 9II. persons made ^,579 appearances before W-I-L-L microphones durin^? the yeaXo In addition to broadcasting 25 courses from the classrooms and many series of educational programs arranged especially for broadcasts during the past year, it continued with such regular features as news, markets, forums, etc. Its musical programs rate among the best in the Nation, In its regular broadcasting schedule, W-I-L-L presented programs in cooperation with some 20 service and educational organizations and various war agencies. \ »li •■••/*"■?

'■■ Radio Station W_I-L-L - page 2 Sec. 9 — 56 II. PRESENT SPACE The space now utilized "by W-I-L-L, other than its transmitting facilities south of town, was made available on an emergency basis to relieve conditions which had been totally inadequate for ten years in the original building on Illinois Field, When plans approved by the Board of Trustees in August I9U1 to remodel the Lower Gymnasiiun of the Woman's Building for radio use were dropped because of war conditions, the School of Journalism released sizeable areas in Gregory Hall for our use. We have available in our present location the following area: Studio A, 12 ft. by 22,5 ft; Studio Bj IS ft, by 21 ft,; a library for housing musical records, transcriptions and radio scripts, IS ft, by 18 ft,; an announcer's room, I6 ft, by 10 ft,, an office 16 ft, by 7 ft,, another iG.ft, by lift, ; a reception area 9 ft. by 32 ft,; a master control room 10 ft, by 12 ft,; a control booth for Studio B, 6 ft, by 12 ft, plus necessary sound lock areas, all on the second floor of the west wing. On the first floor we have the part-time use of the Auditori-um of Gregory Hall as an audience studio (Room 112 which we refer to as Studio C) ; and a news room IS ft, by IS ft, in which is housed the Associated Press printer which operates twenty-four hours daily. In the basement we have a room approximately I6 ft, by 7 ft, used by the station's engineers for the repoAr and maintenance of equipment, Tlie total area available to us approxi- mates 6,500 square feet. Aside from the use of Studio B four hours weekly by the School of Journalism and the sharing of the audience studio (C) with others, there is a little conflict at the present. Our greatest handicap is that our organ is located in the audience studio. It should be available to us at all times, but is is not because of conflicting assignments to that area for other than Radio Station W-I-L-L - ^ege 3 Soc. 9 — 57 radio use* The principal disturbance to Journalism, 1 "believe, is that in spite of sound treatment, activities in "both studios A and B transmit sound td the library "below* In general, handicaps under the present conditions are not so much regarding space, but rather the ferraiigoment of facilities on three floors. All space is highly utilized even though the station staff is not at its authorized strength at the present time* III. P0ST-"?7AR DEVELOPMSIJT What the post-war development will bring in radio insofar as it will affect the University's activities we do not know. The radio industry research organizations tell us that Frequency Modulation, Facsimile Broadcast- ing and Television are out of the experimental stage and that the next decade is likely to see great expansion in all three fields. Facsimile broadcasting would present no special requirements to. us other than the use of an additional room perhaps 12 ft, by l6 ft, in area. At the present it appears that Frequency Modulation broadcasting will develop rapidly after the war. We now have a low power transmitter of this type. Should developnents warrant our expanded use of Frequency Modulation, the programs we would transmit would be of a different type than those going out over W-I-Ir-L, Therefore, two types of production would be on the air at the same time and additional studio facilities would be required. Television is likely to be such an expensive projx) si tion that the University could not jus- tify its use for years to come. Looking toward the future, it may be pointed cut that in Hilv/aukee one of the major stations has just completed a new million-dollar building looking toward future radio expansion, and W~3-N, Chicago, has announced plans for the construction of a new structiire for the same reason. * ;■;> ;/M ■■}■' .

V-i •■-;-• <.i ■' ,t.i Radio Station W-I-L-L - ppge U Sec. 9 — bB IV* PROPOSED IIEW SPACE It seems safe to ass\ime that with the return to normal enrollment and the anticipated increase, the School of Journalism will need facilities now "being used "by TT-I-L^L, and that we shall have to find a new location. The Journalism faculty has suggested to Dean Hadelson's committee that per- haps a new "buildin/; should house the University Press, the Radio Station, the mini Puhlishing Company and the School of Journalism. V?e should "be happy to cooperate in such a proposal. Unless such a "building is provided we should like to have considered again the original proposal to house the radio station in the Lower Gymnasium of the Woman's Building. This space, properly rehuilt would not only meet the radio needs for years to come out would offer an opportunity to house in the same area the offices of Puhlic Information. Approximately 10,000 square feet of space should "be made available. Future needs should contemplate the availability of five studios of various sizes, several work rooms, ten offices, a library for housing our fine library of records, an engineer's vmrk room, a news room, a room to house the sound producing unit of a pipe organ, etc. Generally, these were the items orii_-;inally incorporated in the proposed Woman's Building plan. In general, the future radio quarters should be centrally located, should be on the ground floor in order to utilize floating type of studio construction, should have immediately available a minimum of 50 pairs of University tele-- phone lines, adequate power supply to take care of present and future neeia, and, because of the need for complete isolation from sound which prohibits the use of windows and outside ventilation, the area should be air-conditioned.

It all depends on the way the science of broadcasting goes as regards Frequency Modulation, Facsimile Broad- casting and Television, as discussed in the "Post-Uar Developnent" section, VI. SUMI.IARY 1, TVhile station ^-I-L-L has "been getting along very nicely in its present queirters, the space is on three different floors, there is not sufficient room to house a complete staff, and there are minor conflicts "because of the cooperative use of certain of the areas, 2, The space "being used is ""borrowed" from the Scliool of Journalism, which will probahly need all of this space as soon as enrollment retams to normal, 3, Some central location having a floor area of approximately 10,000 feet should "be planned to provide five studios, 10 offices and work rooms, etc,, and all this area should he air-conditioned, U, With the facilities described, we believe the normal needs for o\ir radio work can be met under the present type of broadcasting, under the Frequency Modulation type and in the field of Facsimile, We cannot estimate how rapidly Television will develop nor whether the expense of tliat type of. operation will prohibit an education institution from en-, gaging in it. This question probably cannot be answered for ten years.

SUPPL!!MSNTARY STATEMENT Tlie prenent joint occupation of quarters in Gregory Hall by Radio Station W-I-L-L and "by the School of Journalism, together with the poGslhility of an extended curricul-um in radio which is heing planned for the post-war period, raises certain liousing and "building prohlems involving "both the School of Journalism and Radio Station ^-I-L.-L. The present quarters now occu.pied "by Station W-I-L-L are insuffici- ent for "both the station and the School of Journalism, If Station W-I-L-L is to continue in these quarters, additional space will he necessary hoth for station purposes and for instructional purposes. If the quarters now occupied hy Station T7-I-L-L are vacated, this space would he sufficient for instruc- tional purposes with the necessary remodeling. Restoration to the School of Journalism of the space occupied temporarily "by Radio Station ¥-1— L-L would satisfy the immediate post-war need for housing instruction in radio in the School of Journalism, We look forward to work in television, facsimile newspaper, produc- tion problems, and experimental work with radio and television press. The School of Journalism in its futxire plans for radio hopes to he ahle to con- tinue the present cooperation with Station 'T-I-L-L. It is possible that your committee, in studying the housing problems of radio instruction and of Station T7-I-Ij— L, may come to the conclusion that certain space might be profitably occupied jointly. The School of Journalism is anxious to cooperate with your committee and with Station W-I-L-L in the study of these problems. Supplementary State Prepared By; F.

Unless it is further enlarged, the University will not he in a position to meet properly the first shock of even a mild epidemic in the student hody hecause we will not have hospital facilities to care for 1-| per cent of its enrollment, to say nothing of provision for mera- "bers of the faculty and employees and their families. Such a situation has grave possihilities, particularly so v/hen local hospitals will not admit cases of connunicahle disease. Certain changes were made in the old wing of the Hospital to pro- vide for an x-ray unit. They reduced the number of heds from 75 "to 68, The south wing, erected in 19^0, has a capacity of UU "beds; the Hospital a total of 112 heds. During minor waves of influenza in February 1939 i the need for the hospitalization of students exceeded this capacity from February 9 to the 19th, a period of ten days; from February 12 to the lyth, the demand for hospitali- zation was greater than I65 beds. On Februajy lU, it was necessary to hospitalize 225 students. This was only 1,6 per cent of the students enrolled at Urbana, During the month of Jejiuary 19^ 1 there were 110 patients in the Hospital on one da;;/-, or just two less tlian its normal capacity; on the lOth there vere 103; on the lyth, 107; and on the 18th, IO7, From January 9 to January I9, a period of ten days, the lowest daily number of patients was 90, the highest, 110, Student illness produced a demand for hospitalization so close to the normal capacity of the hospital that the reserve of empty beds , ,...f ,..• .. >■•(.■••,•■, ; '■■xv:. :.; •> , "■■.■■:T McKiiiley Hospital Addition - page 2 Soc. 9 — 62 did not exceed the noombGr of patients often admitted in a sin^e day under ordinal^' circwnstances from Novemlier to April, Even in the mild wave of in- fluenza in February 1939, 56 students vrere admitted in one day, which is 12 more than the capacity of the new wing. The management of a student hospital faces two difficulties: 1, Facilities must he available for students when they are ill, otherwise a catastrophe may result, 2, On the whole, students are a healthy f^oup. Even if only a reasonable miniiaum of beds is provided to talce the first shock of an epidemic, a deficit is almost certain to occur, lart'^ely due to the fact that potential protection must be at ha;id for all students, when only about one in six will be hospitalized during the year from which incoae may be obtained. The difficulty is further accentuated by the brief incubation period of coramon respiratory infections; that of influenza is "short, usually 2^ to 72 hours". An epidemic, therefore, may appear almost as "a bolt from the blue" and overwhelm inadequate facilities before proper provision for hospitalization can be made. The confusion and overcrowdiuri incidental to such a situation is quite likely to be associated v/ith cross infections, more serious illness, and an increased mortality rate. In order to accommodate ill students during both February 1939 a^cL January 19^» it was necessary to remove the equipiient from the sur^'^ery, the emergency room, the retiring room for parents, and the Deaai Clark recreational room to put beds in them. In the latter two instances, this was only a matter of inconvenience and of no great importance. Having to do away with the surgical unit and the emergency room in the presence of a great increase in the admission of patients invites disaster should emergency arise for their use.

In our ,iud{5:nent, dlsnounting of the surgicfl unit and the emergency room should not "be permitted tmler any circumstances. The local hospitals will not tair.e cases of coramunica'ble disease, and were a student in the McKinley Hospital, or even on the outside, to develop complications due to infection, his chance of recovery might "be greatly reduced "by his inability to ohtain prompt siorgical treatments We do not believe it is wise to depend upon local hospitals to re- voke their rules against infectious disease to admit students for surgery in an emergency caused "by complications resulting from contagion. Material help from the local hospitals in the emergency of an epidemic is unlikely. Their rule against taking cases of comraunicahle disease malies it highly improhahle they would aid if they couLd; it is even more unlikely that they coiild if they would.

There are numerous occasions in the course of a year where we have need for an auditorium seat- ing more than the 2,200 who can he accommodated in our present auditorium. It is "believed that if we had a "building which could s,ccomraodate larger groups, that there night "be even more occasions when it would "be used, Indiana University has "built a new Music Hall seating approxi- mately U,500, Purdue has a similar "building seating 6,500, Michigan State has a new "building seating 6,S00o All of these, we are told, are serving very useful purposes on their campuses. It would seem to us that such a "building for us should seat approximately 1,000, We have no idea as to the cost of such a building, "but "believe that the Ph^^'sical Plant Department could malce comparative estimates. Cer- tainly it is true that we are constantly having meetings, lectures, convo- cations, concerts and pa"blic gatherings rhere our seating needs are far in excess of our present Auditorium and "badly housed when these events are moved to a make- shift setup in the George Huff Gymnasium.

This can be done only in rather general terns, since there are so many questions concerning the future progra::is of the Division that are dependent upon decisions yet to he made. For example, there is "before the Congress of tlie United States a bill (SBI67O) which would provide federal subsidies to general university extension com- parable to those already provided, by previous acts of the Congress, to the Agricultural Extension Service, Tlie appropriation is to be distributed to the states in proportion that the population of the state bears to the popula- tion of the United States, The bill jjcrovides for extension programs in the land grant colle['-;es and state universities only. If enacted into lav;, the bill would bring to the Division of University Extension of the University of Illinois federal monies to the amount of $1,130,000 annually. This sum would have to be matched by legislative appropriation, University appropriation, or fee receipts to the anou:it of an additional 25 per cent. It is obvious that if this bill were to pass, the Division of Uni- versity Extension would be required to enlarge its organization greatly; and conseq.iently, its requirements for space would be very greatly increased. Under the terms of this bill, we would be authorized to conduct programs in worker's education, the training of government employees, and all other types of extension education to meet the educational needs of persons above school age except that we would be prevented from duplicating any of the work done in the Agricultural Extension Service, Although the bill is not passed and there is no assurance that it will pass, it is believed to be the part of ^:y.i':;i '•••■•n -.'i' 't i }.

If federal funds are not available, there is some likelihood that new money for extension \7ork will he made available from state sources. The extent to which your committee would like to inquire into plans for aji enlarged program is not known, but we would be happy to give any information that you nay seek on the program, provided we are able to do so. The principal item in such a program that would affect building needs relates to the establishment of a continuation study. This center would provide for the lodging, feeding, eind study needs of groups that would be brought to the campus for short courses, institutes, and refresher courses. It is our opinion that the Extension Division could use such a building in such manner that it would be in almost continuotis use. It is likely that such a building would have an, income that would take care of a considerable part of its cost of operation. However, if such a building were to be con- structed, we would like to ask that a study be made of the possibility of providing for the building needs of the rest of the Division of University Extension under one roof. The Division has never enjoyed being housed in a single building in the ten years of its existenceo The University of Minnesota was the first institution to establish a continuation study center. Information as to the success of its operation is availabloe The University of Michigan has accommodations that result from their large Union Building plus the Horace B, Racka:n Building for Graduato Studies, which provide them with facilities very much comparable to Minnecota's, There are a number of other universities whose extension divisions are con- templating the building of such continuation study centers. ■ «* * '.t "f .?.'■■ ; -* T-r;. in; ■■ I 'V-i ■; ■3 '.,' £';•.; ^ ^"\':.*."."

The committee feels that its re- sponsihility is to keep "before the proper University officials their thoughts as to the needs of the Athletic Association with reference to the use of land, iDuildings, and other facilities necessary for the proper conduct of inter-collegiate, intramural, and recreational sports. It is their opinion that at the present tine facilities for these activities are inadequate as will he set forth later. For the past several years the Athletic Association has heen ahle to "balance expenditures with income, "but has not "been in a position to accum- ulate reserves of sufficient size to permit construction of the type possi"ble when the tennis courts and the Skating Riiik were erected. Because of this fact, any "building program that is d.3sira"ble for the sports activities of the University, must of consequence, "be financed "by an appropriation to the Uni- versity, and should in our opinion "be treated in the same manner as any other item in the general University huilding program. The trend evidenced "before the oufbreak of the present war in the field of intramural activities is one that must "be recognized for post-war planning. Out of the then 9iOOO male students, approximately 3t500 were participating on one or more of the organized intramural teains, "besides the large nura"bers that were playing golf, tennis, and softhall as unorganized sports. All of these students make use of the athletic facilities provided. .-. .'l-...UVi»- ■i'>v' ■■'::..; ;:■ •'■.■;^ '■. u-.-;;-:?.^^.. -^' ' ■ ■ ■ i' t -.I. ■\' : :.\ !■:■.:■-.■: yi;r"' :^- -i';Hr,-,;-.!4.--S ;.•(:; /•:.

The plans as sketched at that tine are in general acceptable to this committee, v/ith the feeling tliat provision should he made for seating a ninimura of 15»000 with a maximum of 20,000, The "building should provide needed space for all intramural sports in the form of office space, game rooms, locker rooms, etc. Flans in connection v/ith this building should also provide for an improvement of our swimraing pool facilitieso Our present pool does not comply with the requirements of the State Health Department on about six counts, and has no provision for high diving. Particular eniph^.sis should be placed on the arrangement of the pool with respect to dressing rooms and lockers from the standpoint of sajiitation and convenience. The construction of such a unit would permit the consolidation of most of the activities of the Athletic Association under one roof, including the coaching and administrative staff, the intramural depaxtmont, the ticket office, and the store rooms, thereby contributing to closer contact and, consoquently, better operating conditions. The association has been repeotediy advised by the auditors that better physical arrangements are necessary for the proper distribution and control of tickets and athletic activity coupon books.

The use of this "building would not he confined to Athletics and sports entirely. The need for a center to "be used for large convocations has long been felt. At the level of enrollment prior to the outbrealc of the war, it was impossible to issue more than three tickets to candidates for gradua~ tion. Such large functions as Farm and Hone Week, the Farm Sports Festival, the All-State ChoiMs and All-State Orchestra performance held in conjunction with the annual Teachers Conference, certain numbers on the Star Course Fro- gram, the High School Basketball Tournament, and a general convocation of all University students are not possible in their entirety at the present time because of limited seating capacity. One of the greatest needs for such a building is that of the Illinois State High School Basketball Tournament which has been held annually in Huff Gynnasiun during the month of March, It has been the experience of the Ticket Office of the Athletic Association tha.t the seats for this one function alone, which is a source of good public contacts, could have been sold in numbers three or four times that now possible. It has been the policy in the pa.sb few years to discoura^v;e the general public, even to the extent of giving preference to students in the competing schools and the coaches and principals throughout the State, Indiana has conducted such a tournament annually in the Butler :,': K:^. .^'»•'iis> .«»' 4 •.-!■ -.i- ;. r >'• r .. . ...r .*--,i,;j (i y:- ;•■•": ''VwN ?f '■ r; t^_ ■ I :,t/:5 Av.'^-? ir-:.. • /,■"'•»» ••*!; .

Because many of these who attend are potential students for the University, and "because we are concerned with developing and maintain- ing a strong program of health education, physical education and athletics in the High Schools of the state, we feel that it is desirable to satisfy the demands of as large a niamher as possible and to retain this annual sports event at the University. Under present conditions, it is not possible to follow the plan that many of the other Western Conference Schools follow, in issuing an Activity book to each student. With the present seating capacity of Huff Gymnasium, it is impossible to provide seats for the student body, the staff of the Uni- versity or the general public, for our hone Basketball games. Such conditions are not comparable to other institutions of the enrollment or standing of the University of Illinois, The Board of Directors of the Athletic Association expects to con- tinue the policy of turning surplus funds back into facilities for the stu- dents, whenever circumstances permit a return to normal operation.

The necessity of the other b\iildings» and»groundc improvements, as listed under P.P. 2 in the preceding Summai'yj except for the street, sidevvalk, and general campus improvements, is ob=> vious. The latter items are improvements needed to replace temporal^ roads demanding high maintenance expenditures and to provide for futiare building expansion contemplr.ted. The program of building modernisations as listed under P.P. 3 in the preceding Summc?.ry, is an attempt to meet a major problem which the University is f&cing in the future in preserving the state's investment of $23i952»535 iri the buildings on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbena and Chicago. The life expectancy of the component parts of buildings, such as floors, pl-umbing, heating, lighting, water systems, elevators, is such that a replacement of these parts over a period of twenty^five to fifty years must be provided if an acceptable standard of maintenance and usage is to be obtained. Maintenance expense on other parts of the building, is such that a similar allowance must be made to preserve the original condition of the structures.- In order to maints^in the state's investment in buildings at the University of Illinois, an average annual expenditure of a minimum of 2 per cent of the replacement -«!. ^,-M ■/ r^i-- Physical Plant Department - page 2 Sec. 10—2 cost should, therefore, he mot'.e. With an investment of state funds in huilci- ings of $?3t958.535» ^^e average anaual expenditiu-e for building repairs and replacements should be approximately $U79»170« Hovcever, during tho past ten years, the average annual expenditures were only $23^,380, or .98 per cent of the total investment instead of 2 per cent* Tl:e problem now of preserv- ing the fetate's investment is even more difficult if the age of the various buildings is considered. Tile oldest major building is Harker Hall» v;hich ?7as built in I87S. Eight other buildings were cdnstructed in the nineties. In connection with these major buildings, substantial additions have been made to many of them from time to time, bringing the total number of major buildings and addi«» tions to 108.

Unfortunately, no such progTam was undertaken and, therefore, the state faces the responsibility of either tearing down such buildings and thereby losing the residual value in them or making relatively large current expenditures to cctch up on the deferred replacement program. •. \\-.^. -'.'":.■ ■-; ••7 :i :■■■] .!.•:/• Physicol Plant Departmeiit • pafc 3 Sec. 10 -■-» 3 Another factor which materially rffccts such a problem, even if a progrrm of replc'.coment had been est-blished, ic- the interruption resulting from ciepre3oiour> rars, etc. This could be prevfi:.ued in iDj-.rt if the state were in a position to establish reserves for sucli purposes. Un,':'blo, however, to operate on a reserve basis, the only alternative is to make relcitively large annual expenditures when fands can be .nade r.^ailable, thereby offset-, ting souiev.hat the effects of depressionr and v':ars. In addition to preserving the state's investaient, sudi a program will have real and practical values, sach as: 1. Healthful wor^cing conditions for all enployees are sissured. 2. Working in well lighted, clean, and pleasant surroundings ivnproves the morale of the staff and, in turn, pays dividends in improved employee^ employer relationships, as well as gre.-.ter productivity, 3. T.ie public generally judges the standard of the adr:inistration and effic= iency of the institution by its visual impression of the v;ay the insti» tutional property is maintained ;:nd operated. The public loses confix, dence in an institution v:hich ifoes not adequately preserve the invests ment entrusted to it. U. The working efficiency of the academic departments is lo^-rered by obco=. lete physical facilities with v/hich to work. 5. Operating economies may be realized thru the elimination of obsolete facilities, such as heating systems, etc. 6. Failure to maintain buildings adeqiiately results in requests for new buildings from the academic departments which, in the long«»term point of view, will be more expensive to the state tha^n a so'ond replacement program. Physical PlMit Deportment « pn^e U Sec. 10 •• 4 The estiruPtecl cost of the modernization projects now nee'^.ed is approximately $?.000,000 (for Urban?, and Chicago). This is slightly less thrn that livhich wu\rld have been spent if a progran: h;;d been eotabllshecl ten years ago allowin-^ 2 per cent per year for repairs and replacements. It is recommended, therefore, that a policy be adopted imi-nedir.tely of allocating annually not less than 2 per cent of the inventory value of the buildings for repairs and replacements (i,e., modernization). This will make it possible to complete the v;0A-k: program now outlined in less than ten years. If possible, the allowance should be greater than 2 per cent to offset re-^ duced expenditures in depression and war periods. It is also recommended that, as a policy, the University should not request the construction of additional buildings unless funds can be made available for maintaining existing buildings at a satisfactory standard.

INTRODUCTION It is proposed that a new building be provided for the Plant Opera.^ tion r-.nd Maintenance Division of the Physical Pl;^nt Deportment to provide adequ,?.te facilities to conduct the business necessary in the fulfillment of the responsibilities assigned to this division. Tlie construction of complete new facilities is necessary because it is uneconondcal and physically irrj=» possible to expand the present facilities sufficiently to provide necessary space. The present inefficient and disorganized conditions caused by the widely scattered, hazardous and unsii^htly facilities cannot be eliminated except by construction of a new building, planned to meet the needs of the division. Construction of a new building will also permit the removal of. this division from the academic area, releasin,^ space for other usage and also permit the elimination of a number of unsightly obsolescent frame structures, II. RESrO-JSIBILITISS ASSIGNED TO THE DIVISION The Plant Operation and I/Iaintenance Division is organi?.ed for the purpose of facilitating and centralizing the transaction, scheduling and recording of all maintenance work and plant operation, and to assist the various University Departments in their functions of teaching and research in every possible way. The following responsibilities have been assigned to this division, as set forth in Section 51 of the University of Illinois Statutes, Maxch 10, 1936: 1. Building Maintenance. 2. Grounds Maintenance. 3. Operation and maintenance of general University trucks and cars. .vr -ii ..'.f r Physical Plpnt Service Bldg. « page 2 Sec. 10 .-« 8 k.

Police and Watchnen. 9. General superintendence of Public Functions. 10. Physical Plrnt Storeroom. 11. Physical Plant Cost Accounting. 12. General University Telephone System. As evidence of the volu-ne of administrative routine necessary, number of individuals employed, cost of completed work, etc., in the execu:^ tion of these responsibilities, the attached Schedule No. 1 is submitted. The nature and volume of the work handled by this division is determined by the needs of the University and these needs, in turn, are de= terrained by such variable factors as the size of the University, the nunber, size and type of buildings. It is obvious that the work and demands for service on this division have increased in the past materially and will con<=> tinue to inrrrease in the future in proportion to the future growth of the University. Ne^- equipment incorporated in all present«>day buildings adds materially to the demands on this division because of the specialized persoa= nel and equipment necessary for the operation of these specialties which includes air conditioning, refrigeration, food service equipment, high preso sure steam services and equipment, temperature controls, emergency lighting, automatic elevators and dumb waiters, sound projection equipment and public address systems, involving the use of electronics in practically all types of modern, electrically controlled and operated equipment. nent of Engineering Hnll, Tlie First Station staff nnd equipment are located in the old Pur.p Station and in a small two<=.car brick garage adjacent. The water station operators, as 'jell as the office of the Sani^ tary Engineer, are located in the Filtration Plant, On the south campus, the South Garage, an addition to the Agri<=. culture Engineering Building.-, houses a portion of the truck and car fleet of the Agriculture Department and Extension Service, and a small shop space used to service the equipment. Adjacent to the South Garage in the Old Agronomy Building, addi=» tional car storage is provided; also testing equipment for track and car safety inspection, a glass storage room, and storage space for salvaged material and equipment. The power plant staff reports directly to the Abbott Power Plant at the vrest end of Gregory Drive on the Illinois Central siding. The following is an analysis of the space inadequacies and hazards of the facilities assigned to the Plant Operation and Maintenance Division, 1. Carpenter Shor> (500 f t . from office) , — Dimension lumber is stored in the Warehouse Annex appiXDXinately l600 feet from the shop, (.See a,tt ached phc to,;^raphs,) The Carpenter Shop occupies a major portion of the basement and the first and second floors of the center section of the vjood shop. Because of its natvjre and arrangement, this building is not suit^ able for this type of occupancy. Fire hazards v^hich normally exist in a shop of this kind are very materially increased by an obsolete and inad= equate dust collecting system, and by an open painting and wood finishing ,;r. . . X:0-;r- :.\ •,!■ •;.;.■;;) OJ Physical Plnnt Service Bldg. «• page 5 Sec. 10 — 11 space, mid, "because of the Inck of fire stops, the coiiibustiblc nature of the "building, trap doors for the passage of materials, and an open wooden str.irvay, fire would probably spread very rapidly and occupants v/oijld prob- ably be trapped, especially those on the second floor. Many physical hazards ejcist. Iviaterials and finished products must be carried in and out of the building directly past the feed end of a rip saw and planer ♦ Exterior access is by a single door and exterior con^^ Crete steps v;hich becone icy and dangerious in cold weather and which pre-^ vent close approach of transporting equipment. Ifeterials and products r^ust either be carried from floor to floor or must be passed thru trap doors. The machine room is crowded and does not provide space for handling or plac=. ing of materials. The only space except under foot at the machines is the corridor and aisle space between the machines. Stumbling hazards are thus created, not only to workmen but to pupils and academic staff who use these spaces for passage to and from classrooms and locker rooms. The crowding of the machines limits the nunber of machines and the quantity of materials which can be worked at one time withocct endanger^ ing othe".' machines and workmen. The length of material vMch can be worked is limited and naoerial in piocess must often be passed over or around macliines which cannot always be economically stopped while such handling is in process. In order to get long lengths of material thru the sticker, it has been necessary to cut a hole tliru the wall into an adjoining room. The arrangement prevents control of material and eqaipment. The basement where materials are stored is open to the foundry occupants v;ho use part of the basement for storage, and is also open to the general public. The first floor corridor is used for wcr'-rmen's lockerG, office space, and for storage of tool boxes. As this is open to students and outsiders, this is Physical Plrmt Service Bldfc-. « page 6 Sec. 10 c« 12 conducive to "lost" records, tools, and small equirjnent. This corridor and the stairs fom; the only space available for eating purposes, and everyone using this corridor is endangered because of the handling of material r.nd products thru trap doors located in the center of the area, Bie basement area used for storage of finished lumber, altho ade*. quate, is very wasteful rnd uneconomical because of the nature, shape, and arrangement of the space. It is not accessible to direct car or truc]c vn=^ loading. No sorting or unloading space is available where material can be unloaded for future sorting and piling. All materials must be sorted outc^ side and passed thxu windows at the rear of the lumber piles or must be carried into the machine room and handed down into the storage area thru a trap door. The trap door is near one end of the storage area, resulting in long distances of travel and much uneconomical rehandling of material. Low ceilings and large piers prevent logical arrangement and piling of lumber. Finishing of products in an economical and first<=class manner is prevented by the open paint and finishing space, subjecting all finished work to dc.'naging dr'st and to temperature and humidity changes of the entire building.

The occupancy of this space, entirely located helov; grade, with only one window directly to the exterior and without a ventilating system, is unhealthy and violates all codes for human occupancy. Approximately jk men use this area, reporting in and out, ohtaining equipment, etc. The use of this space is uneconomical and hazardous hecause of the excessive costs njid hazards involved in the hand handling of large quantities of equipment and materials up and down stairs, A large percentage of avail- able space is usable only for storage because of large ducts with a clearance of only 5 feet.

The main shop occupies a part of a v7ood frame residence which is also used for key shop, and furniture, "blind and shad.e repairs. The use of a non-fireproof structure for the storage of materials as inflammalDle as pa.int is extremely hazardous, and a fire would prohalDly trap any occupants of the building, and a flash fire and fumes could he fatal to all cccup.ints* The "building does not provide any space for the storage of con- tainers, and as a result, a very unsightly condition exists in the area around this building.

This space fpr machinists is in the present North Garage and is 1100 feet from the office. The present space is very inadequate. Machines are crcr/ded so that the -use of nearly any machine is hazardous to the use of an adjacent machine. Very few machines permit the use of full le:i(?;th stock v/ithout overlappinc:; other machines, a higlily dan^^eroxis practice "because of line shaft, drives and moving machinery, which is also a hazard to handling of materials. Trucks must hack into the shop for use of liftin^^ tackle. The floor is at ,^round level, causin{^ !m.rch hazardous lifting and handling, craiie facilities are inadequate, and this loadinfr and unloadin^^ area is the only space availahle for placing of materials or products and must also he used for assembling pturposes. It is also in direct line of traffic from garage space to the storeroom, and must "be transversed in using the exits to this area. The electric and gas welding and the forge axe all located in an open area, preventing the safe use of more than one process at any time, causing interferences and delays, and exposing all occupants to the hazards of Yielding processes.

The Health Service "basement is not readily accessi"ble and requires carryin:'^ of equipment up and dowi stairs and its use is, therefore, practically limited to out-of-season storage of small equipment. No protection. is provided for motorized equipment, which should "be stored in a heated space, No personal conveniences are provided except locker space for regular employees. These are very inadequate and unsuita"ble for the storage and drying of clothing which often "becomes wet and "badly soiled in this type of work.

This is 800 feet from the office. The space occupied "by this shop is in the north haseraent of Engi-. neerin^^ Hall, a non-fireproof building primarily used for academic purposes. It is unsuitable for any usa^-;e except service tunnel for pipes and other building services. Access is by fire lane and a drivev;ay extending in front of the Fire Station and. over a blind walk from the Illumination Laboratory, Entrance is dow:i a short flight of steps under the Engineering Library exit. Heavy valves, piping, waiter tanl:s, meters and traps must be carried in and out of the shop when repairs and adjustments are necessary. Tic entire area has a dirt floor and a celing height of less than 6J feet with 5. ft, clearance und.er beams. The entrance door has a clear height of 5 ft, 3 in, and width of 2 ft, 11 in, ITo convf.niezaces for workmen are provided, lighting is very in- adequate, and because of the low ceiling is very detrimental to eyesight. No ventilation is provided, and the space is unhealthy and violates all codes for hw.ian occupancy. Another factor is the increased fire hazard endangering the Engi- neering Library directly over this area with only a wood floor between.

The only access to the offices for the general puLlic, office staff, and employees who must consult with their supervisors frequently during the day is by means of a single width winding stairs with limited head- room, which is located approximately 60 ft, from the entrance to the building. i y ;.>•> ; '' "-» y >•.

The warehouse is at present located in an addition to the garage construct- ed in 1936 and in a portion of the old Warehouse Annex, a frame structure. The space used "by this division consists of a roofed-over en- closed area. The shape was principally determined "by the adjacent struc- ture, the wall of v/hich v/as used to permit constriiction of the maximum space with the funds availahlo. Because of its slriape, type of "building and general nature, it is very uneconomical, unsuita"ble, and hazardous and the space availa"b.'.c is inradoq-txite. The racks for hea\y storage, "because of lack of floor area, extend to '.'iC ceiling. This is too high for the handling of stock and too low to permit the construction of a gallery. Oils, waste, rags and many other hii^"!:ly inflcunma"ble merchandise are stored in open spaces and endanger the entire stock of mercliandise. The floor is at ground level and the low and inadequately sized unloading platform and lack of liandling equipment proi?*uce Ixazardous con- ditions in handling moroliandise. The inadequacy of space is clearly indicated hy the use of aisle space, hallways, and loading platform for storage. -■.• .1 ■ ■■' A. .< ' ■•■ ■Xi;K,':, :i, 'ii.-^'.-v-- .■;'4-*;\ ■'■■■■■ ■ ^ fi'M-'-i, Phj'sical Plant Sorvico Bld^. - page 18 Sue. 10 — 2k of ladders, ladder Jacks, scaffoldinct tacMe and heavy equipment.

Continued use of rail facilities cannot be assumed, 2. Much needed centralization of facilities will not be acconip^.ishedc 3. Even with this additional space remodeled for Physical Plant use, the total area available would still be approximately thirty percent less than that necessary to provide adequate work and shop facil- ities, U, This building cannot be remodeled to provide suitable facilities because: ■• x '^•Orr Physical Plant Sorvico Bld<> - page 20 Soc. 10 — 26 a.

The present warehouse and annex may be used temporarily in connection with the North Garage to furnish space for motorized equip- ment 2e The Old Power Plant may be ramodeled with new floors, dock facilities and elevators to provide space for furniture, seasonal equipment, deak storage and other long-term storage now scattered through- out various attics and spaces in academic buildings.

P. 2a ADDITIONAL TUEBO-GEKEHATOR FOR POWER FLA'TT It is proposed tliat the firm of Sargent & L-ondy "be retained to provide engineering service covering the installation of a 3000 kw, tiirho- generator in Abbott Power Plant. Estimate $125,000,00 In Sargent & Limdy's original report, submitted in October, 1938, and covering the new power plant project, they recomniended the installation of three 3OOO kw, turbo-generators for the new installation. This recoinmend- ation was based on a current electrical peak demand of 26OO lew. , an ex- pected peak demand of 3SOO krj', in I9U1-U2, and a peak demand of 3900 kw. in 19^3~^^» ^ot including the demands of a proposed program for increasing lighting intensities in practically all existing buildings. The install- ation of generating capacity to meet standards of firm power capacity re- quires: ''Siifficient capacity such that the maximum peak demand can be carried with the largest generating unit out of service," The maximum 15-minuto peak demand in 19^1-^2 was 3750 kw. This required the operation of ooth of the two 3OOO IvKo generators, leaving no reserve generating cap- acity ex.?eptins the 1000 kw, generator at the Physical Plant Service Build- ing. The operation of the 1000 kw, generator is impractical due to: (a) lack of steam main capacity limits generator capacity to l4-50'-500 kw, ; (b) the unit is romote from the central plant; (c) curtails demands for high pressure steam at M. E, Lab, , Locomotive Lab. , Dairy Ivlanufactures Plant, Hospital, Residence Halls, Woman's Building, and miscellaneous de- mands on the carripus. The maximum demand during I9U2-U3 and 19^3~^^ l^s reduced to 3600 kw, due to the reduced enrollment and day-light saving time.

However, operation is even more hazardous in tliat elect- rical demands mast he supplied hy the condensing-extraction type generating unit. If this unit is not available for suia-aer time use, the plant could not supply demands in excess of I5OO kw. for over an eight hour period. Normal demands for week day periods of g:30 tp 5.1:^5 a<,m, and 1:15 to 5? 00 p,mo approximate 25OO kw. The electrical capacity of the non~conden- sing unit, having no eondensing capacity in the plant with the extraction- condensing unit out of service, is limited "by the demand for exhaust steam that can he wasted to the atmosphere. Maxinura exl^aust steam deraands for the summer period are of the order of 20,000 Ihs. per hour. The amount of steam th-at can he wasted to the atmosphere is limited to the capacity of the "boiler feed water treating equipment, which is 12,000 Ihs, per hour. The total capacity for treating "boiler feed water is 92,000 Ihs. between regenerating periods, and regenerating the treating plant requires 1,5 hours. The non-condensing unit has a 22 lb. per lcwh>, steam rate at 12 lb. gage exhaust pressure or 22 lbs, divided into 32»000 lbs. limits the cap- acity of this unit to I5OO kw. for an 8 ho^or period. Another hazard experienced during the present operation, in violation to firm power standards, is the lack of sufficient time to in- spect, and overhiaul turbo-generator units. Each of the two turbo-genera- tors should be taken out of service for a minimum period of ten d^.ys, once .: '..' o^U&l-si^ T . . : ■! 4 (.A .:.,.iryifji..-- f .

Taring these scheduled outage periods, the University is dependent upon the operation of one gener- ator for its supply of electrical energy. Generator outages have heen scheduled for vacation periods at Christmas and August 15 to Septemher 15, The past Christmas holiday period was only seven days duration; there were only ten days between semesters for regular students. Electric loads during the "between-semester period just past were as high as 3000 kw. Past operating experiences emphasiiie the need for another generator to (l) meet firm pov;er standards, (c) insure safe and reliable service, (3) provide reserve capacity for emergency or maintenance outages, and (U) provide adequate capacity for the present and proposed increases in connected loads and pea3c demands for electrical power services. Since the erection of Abbott Power Plant, there have been major increases in the connected electrical load not contemplated during the design period of the plants The following is a tabtilation 'of the increase in connected electrical load in kilowatts for the period from 19^ to l^'-l^: Building gw, Abbott Power plant I5O Administration Building I5 Agronomv Pi eld Laboratory 7 Altgeld Hall g Animel Plusbandry Sheep Barns 5 Ceramics Kiln House 26 Commerce Building 3 Dairy Experimental Parm House 7 Dairy Manufactures Building 5 Plectrical Engineering Laboratory 12 Piltration Plant 1 Pire Station 7 G-arage and Shops 10 C-eological Survey Laboratory 120 Gymnasi-om Annex ) p.- Gymnasiura, Men's Old ) (continued on following page) : :" r-.'1 u ■ •*• *■ I Additioiial Tvirto-Gonorator - pn^o U Soc. 10 — 31 Building Kw.

The relation of hourly maxiraom deraojids to the firm capacity Clearly indicates the necessity of a third generating unit since 1933-39t or the year the new plant was designed end erection started. Based on the assumption that the war will be over by July 1, 19^5? ^'^^ "the proposed post-v/ar program will begin, the engineering, specifications, and contracts for a nev/ generating unit should be complete, with contracts let by January 1, 19^5» If W, 1, Abbott Power Plant is to provide firm, safe, and reliable electrical power service, funds should be provided immediately to engineer the installation of a third generating unit. The foregoing discussion has not considered the possibilities of near- future or post-war demands of the new Airport, Betatron Laboratory, or rjiy new b^iildings requiring in excess of 100 kw, per year that may be added eSt3r 19^+^450 Prepared by: The Physical Plant Department ^•v;V:» iM\0. -.•,r, fir J . y-of.' ..,•■. -t. , rv. ■ }-.^r^.'i..!r!t'i ti-O-rd^i. .•: ,'^' : ^/ii:':--::i^:-X---r '.lb;-; )'j"yi, ,.':c:'i;:? .("'"■■J- .:r. ■„, !■'■ :'j:vu;"; o'-ci-."- vuLv' fit" r3d^# "V^s ;>*;:';:?/•:; .vv;^ (V-f ^rn :;.?or-»AU :ri: r^nl'rirr!/ Sec. 10 — 33 PROJECT P.P. 2h ADDITIONAL STEAM OEITERATOR FOR POIIER PLANT f It is proposed that the firm of Sargent & LunJy 'be retainerl to pro- vide enf^neerin.x service covering the installation of one 100,000 Ib.-per- hour boiler unit, complete with building addition, at W. L, Abbott Power Plant, Estimate $ 325,000 The plant as originally installed in 1939-^ consisted of three 80,000 Ib.-per-hour steam generators, with forced and induced draft chain- grate stokers for burning low grade Illinois coal. During the three and one-half years of operation of the plant, capacity tests have demonstrated that boiler design capacities can be obtained. However, the ability to maintain design capacities for the duration of peak demands is dependent on limiting factors which cannot be maintained. Princi- pal f.actors governing the ability of individual units to meet design capacities are: 1. Cleanliness of boiler heating surfaces at time of peak demand. 2. U-aJ.formity of coal size at time of peak demand, 3. Depth o:.* thickness of fuel bed at time of peako H, Availability of individual boilerso The duration of pealc demand loads are entirely dependent on weather conditions; ezid to date minimum outside temperatures comparable to those ex- perienced in January 193^, or January 19^0, have not occurred^ Except for slight variations not exceeding 10 per cent, steam demands will be dependent on the duration of the minimum temperatures. On January 23, 1936, the outside temperature was a minim^im of -23° F, with a 2U-hour average of -15° F, Again en January 12, 19^0, the minimum outside temperature was -15° P., with a 2^- hour average of -11° F.

It is estimated that under the present load conditions, with an average outside temperature of -15° F» • ^^^^ raaximfiun hourly steam demand would amount to 170,200 Ihs, per hour, A steam demand of this amount would necessitate the operation of all three "boilers for the duration of the mini- mum temperature period. Present "boilers were desif^ried with auxiliary cleaning equipnent, for a hi^h availability factor or long periods of continuous service. Experience has demonstrated that individual units can he depended upon for service periods in excess of six months. However, the efficiency of soot "blowers and hand lancing is far from perfect. There is a gradual "building-up of slag, soot, and some internal scale which gradually lowers the "boiler's efficiency and capacity. Settings develop air lesJcs, and metal growth affects stoker operation, which cannot "be adjusted except during outage periods. Experience has also taught that individual hoilers should "be taken out of service at ?.east once every four months for routine cleaning of the outside of all heat- ing surfaces., adjustment of stokers to compensate for metal growth, replace- ment of "broken links, and internal dinning of "boiler tu"bes and headers in critical hot zones. At present, "boiler outages cannot he scheduled on account of unpredictahle weather conditions and the dependence placed upon all units for necessary continued service during the months of Decem"ber to Iferch, inclusive. In estimating the possi"ble maximum steam demand of 170,200 lbs, per hour, no allowance was included for the possible effect of the electric load.

Exhaust heating main capacity is adequate from Ahoott Power Plant to Siiith Street and Gregory Drive, At that point the two 12-inch exhaust mains connect to one 12-inch main which extends north then east to connect to a 10-inch main at the north side of the Lihrary. The one lO^inch main ex- tends north in a tonnel under 'bright Street and east along the north side of u-regory Hall, Branching from the Gregory' Hall junction, one lO-inch main ex- tends east through the Auditorium and another extends north through Lincoln Hall, The exliaust steam pressure required at Sixth Street and Gregory Drive is 40 ITds, per sq, inch when the outside ter.iperaturc is 0° E, This pressure is the result of excess pressure drop in the overloaded 12- and 10- inch mains described ahove. At present there is a lack of exhaust steam main capacity, in par- ticular the area directly west and north of the Lihrary, Also, exhaust steam, to reach the Natural Resources Building, must take the indirect route through Extension of Stcom Tunnol - pa^o 2 Sec, 10 — 37 the Auditoriiim and "back south along the east side of the caiipus, a distance of approximately U^BOO pipe line feet, as compai'ed to the 1,200 feet required if a tunnel is provided from Sixth Street and Gregory Drive to the "buildingo The roccrarnendcd improvements will: 1, Provide the closing link in a loop system permitting dual exhanst main service, for all main exliaust steam lines; 2, leduce the required exhaiist steam heating main pressures; 3, Improve tiirbo-generator efficiencies through a redtiction in exhaust steam pressures; H, Reduce transmission losses through a reduction of exliaust steam tempera^- tures and pressures. Present exhaust steam is superheated, dependent on its pressure, from 30 to 9^° F, ; 5« Provide for the replacement of the present hazardous, inefficient, 10- and S-inch underground steam conduit mains from the Armory and now serving the Lihrary, Civil Engineering Surveying Laboratory, Commerce, Architecture, ^p.imal Patholc^7, and M-umford House; 6, Permit the renioval of main exhaust steam lines from the Lihrary "basement which is a con<=-tant 'lazaid in that a rupture could dama^je thousands of o.olla-'-s worth of "books; and 7. Provide t'onnel steam service for expected new "buildings in the South Campus area. It is recrmraended that funds "be appropriated as early as pcssi'ble to complete the necessary engineering details, so that construction can start r.t the end of the present national emergency.

This reservoir receives water from the filters and supplies water to the high lift pumps which pump water to the distribution system and to a 500,000-gallon elevated tank, built on high land near the Horse Barns on St, Mary's Road. Tlie overflow of this tank is placed at an elevation of g65 feet above U, S.G, S, datum, which is approxi- mately lUo feet above the ground level at the north campus. This elevation furnishes a pressure of about 60 pounds per square inch on the water mains on the main campus, II. PFESENT DEliAITD The average daily demand for water during the fiscal year I9H2-U3 Was 69^,000 gallons. The consumption has decreased during the last few years. Additional 17ells & Storn/^o - pof-e 3 Sec, 10 — Uo This is due in part to tferse c.-usons (l) the installation of water-conserving equipment J (2) reduced student enrollment and Universit:-- research program, and (3) the.purcl.ase of wo.ter from the local water company for the Abhott Power Plant, T^ie table "below shows the quantity of water used during;; the last three fiscal years and the first six months of 19^3-^^!

The ajnouut of v/ater required for fire-fighting pvi.rposes among the congested buildings on the north campus was estimated by the Ilationa-l Board of Fire Underwi'iters to be U,000 gallons per minute. On the basis of a five- hour fire, then 1;c'jO,000 gallons of water would be required for fire-fighting purposes. The domestic demand, the water used for normal purposes such as laboratories and office buildings, would be 267,000 gallons luring the same pdriod of time, or the total amount of water which must be delivered from all sources must be 1,467,000 gallons. Under the present conditions when peak ■M t Additional TgIIs & Storn^o - pQ<:c H Sec, 10 — Ul demondG occur, the University v/ells should svipply ^2,000 r^nllons, and two- thirds of the total qunntity of the? clear witer stora^^e should te rvailable or, in other words, should provide 500,000 gallons. An additional 180,000 Gallons caji "be obtained from the local water company hy means of the connec- tion "between the University mains and the local water company mains just south of the Auditorium, This '.vould leave a deficiency of 325fOOO gallons, III. POSSIBILITIES OJ INCREASED SUPPLY 'iTater nay "be o"btained to meet the domestic demand and the demand for f ire-fightin,^ jjurposes throu.-^h either one of three sources: additional wells finished in sand mid gravel, adaitional storage, or through a com"binar- tion of additional wells and adiition-nl storage, Well drilled throUf^h the glacial drift into limestone or saaidsbone "below would pro"ba"bly yield salt water. The water o"btained from these formations at other places lias "been found to "be highly mineralized, Additio npJ ^ells. — The first solution, i«e,, additional wells, offers certain advantas'^es and disadvantages. The advantages of providing additionel wells are: lo "vTlien one unit is out of service, the reduction in the water supply at source is less, 2p T7ater is cooler, 'j, Provides a reserve for future use. The disadvantages are listed as: 1, Rapid depreciation caused by the clog-^ing well screens by crenothrix, calcium carbonate or sand, 2, Limited, known area of well field wheie suitable formation may be found, 3, Idle wells increase the unit cost of water used. . t . .-,-• Additional T7ellr, & SioTar.o - p.%:o 5 Soc, 10 — U2 U, Tfater level in well field would "bo lovrered more if several wollc are operated sinwltrjieously at the tine of ijunpin,^. Under such conditions the pinps niglit draw air. Additional StorafTe . — The second possilDilit.y for incrcasinf^ the quantity of water available during; heavy cleiands is to increase the facilities for storinfc filtered water. An increase in the facilities for storin^^ filtered water would provide water durin,-^ tines of peak ccnsunption but has certain advanta{;es and disadvanta^];es» The advanta/^es are: 1, Greater dependability since withdrawal of water from stora^-^e does not depend on condition of well screens, v;ell puinps, low lift punps and filters, 2, Reduces peak load on wells, lo\7 lift pwi-ips and filters, 3, Less depreciation since the life of a concrete basin should be Uo to 50 years, U, Provides additional reserves when any e:::istin.^ reservoirs or tank is out of service. The disadvanta>-^es are: ] , Sasin rrnst be supplied with water fron some source, ca Stored vic.ter ra:*.,.^ht require slight additional cUorine treatnent, 3, Tonpeiature of water stored may rise durin.-^ the suraner makin.'i it less attractive for drinking water. Combinatio n of Well and Reservoir . — The third jjossibility for supplying the existing deficiency'- consists of a combination of wells and storage. This plan combines the greater dependability which may be obtained from storage basins together with a sufficient well supply to maintain the stora^^^e in these basins at an average cost for depreciation, Tlie advantages of this procedure are listed on the following page: ^■: ■■:)'.: ■.:.

Provides additional reserve when any existing well, reservoir, or "basin is out of service. The disadvantages are; 1, The combination does not supply as larf^e a well capacity for future use, 2, The cost for depreciation is greater than for increased storage alone, IV. COITCLUSIOIT A careful review of the requirements and the advantages and dis- advantages of various plans indicates that a well of a capacity of 600 gallons per minute and a stora/:>e "basin holding 250,000 gallons should be provided at cncGj in order to take care of the present demands for waterfcr normal con- sumption and vo provide a reserve for fire-fighting purposes. It also clearly indicates that an additional well should be provided about 1950 in order to make up f or_ the loss in production of TlTells 10 and 11, which nay be expected by that time. In view of the difficulties which are expected in maintaining a water supply from wells finished in sand end gravel in this area and in view of the limited, known sites of satisfactory v,'ells, and the rapid lowering of water level in the water bearing forraation, it is urgent that some other source be secured for water in the future,. A separate proposal is bein.^ submitted for studies and exploration for the development of a future water supply.
