THE SCROLL. 593ing. In all probability ground will be broken early next fall if not towardsthe end of summer. The cost is estimated at $100,000. The plans of thebuilding have been so arranged as not only to comprise a gymnasium andtraining quarters of the latest and most modern equipment, but it is intendedto be a place for student gatherings and student organizations. Clubrooms and reading rooms are to he included and it is likely that a grillroomwill also be attached for the convenience of the students.This week sees the wind-jup of the athletic season. The last baseballgame which was to have been played today was cancelled early this morning.As far as results go Purdue is nicely balanced on the fence with a legon either side. Our percentage will be about 52 for the season, for Purduehas won and lost an even number of games. The season as a whole hasbeen a keen disappointment to the students. This, however, is not due toany fault of the team or student support. It has been due solely and whollyto the action of the faculty in cancelling the majority of the games withno apparent reason.On May 26 the track team put a most consistant finish to their series ofmeets. Purdue did not win a single meet. Even Ohio State beat us. It isa comfort to know that we cannot get any farther down.The chapter has broken and scattered, some to their homes and some tosummer work.
