* TWELFTH BIENNIAL REPORT. 67 With the exception of the above, we found nothing unsanitary. Owing to the rapid growth of the University, the supply of lieat, light, and water is inadequate. It is unnecessary to say tliat a deficiency in these three elements is inimical to health and should be made good as soon as possible. In the matter of the water supply, in addition to increasing the pumping capacity and the size of the stand-pipe, ample filters of the best character should be provi<lod. Very respectfully, George G. Thomas, M. I)., Richard II. Lewis, M. D., Committee, normal and industrial college.

There is, however, one condition that we call your attention to, and through you to the next Legislature, viz., the necessity of more dormitory rooms. The grand purpose for which this institution was built and intended is being curtailed by the want of dormitory room, as we are informed that over a hundred young women who applied for admission had to be turned away on this account.
