THE BARRACKS CLUB.

In order to provide rooming facilities at the very lowest cost to the
students, a large, frame two-story barracks building has been erected on
the grounds, conveniently located to the lecture halls and cafeteria. The
building comprises four large, well-lighted sleeping rooms, equipped with
20 single iron beds with good all-cotton mattresses in each room. Builtin
clothes closets and all-steel lockers are provided for each occupant.
The house contains two large study rooms equipped with tables and
chairs. Steam heat, electric light and janitor service are provided. The
discipline and conduct of the building are in charge of a committee of the
occupants who will see that order is maintained. Accommodation may
be had in the Club for $45 for the session.
