Harvey Mitchell Hall, the new dor
mitory at A. and M. College, was oc
cupied by the cadets for the first time

proof brick structure, containing
eighty-six rooms, and erected at a
cost of $60,000. Four mafve arti
ficial stone columns at the tr&n? and
the rear entrance and the brick work
varied with artificial stone make the
structure one of the most attractive
on the campus. Separate steel stair
ways lead to each floor from the
front entrances. All partitions are
made of terra-cotta tile and plastered
with a sand-limo .finish. An Interior
court makes all the rooms outside
rooms. Shower baths are located on
each floor, and the rooms are provided
with lavatories, steam heat,. and elec
tric lights.
The building was designed by Prof.
F. E. Giesecke and was erected by
the Texas Building Company. The
corner-stone bears on one side the
name of President Milner 'and the
names of the directors of the college,
and on the other side the following
Inscription: "Harvey Mitchell Hall.
This stone was laid June 3, 1912, by

all other states. Dr. Brooks was chair
man of the committee on education

It is shown that the percentage of
school population enrolled In school
in Texas is 65.46 per cent, as com
pared with an average in other states

California is $59.01. The expenditure
per capita of the entire population In
