Baskerville, financial secre- | ary of Lellevue college, has left for a| trip through the east which will include he leadlsg money centers. He is now in| ‘hicago and expects 1o spend about five wecks more in Cleveland, Fittsburgh, | Philadelphia, Boston and New York. Mr. Baskerville plans to beat the record | .« established last year, when he raised 167,000 and to secure $75,000 this- year.| This sum would defray the running! expenses of the college for thre years | and thus glve him opportunity to work | on the endowment fund of $200,000. | Tywenty-five thousand dolars of this fund was raised last year, $10,000 having been contributed before. The Presbyterian college board has agreed to glve $15,000, $10,00 of which depends upon the college's ralsing the first $100,000 of the endowment, and $5,000 | 'f which Is contingent upon the second | $:00,000. Thus one-quarter of the fund ls already assured. Since Mr., Baskerville assumed control the finances of Bellevue, the Ne- braska conetituency, instead of furnish- ing only 15 per cent of the college's In- come, has more than trebled, both in the number of donors and In the amounts given. The total number of donors has increased from 400 to 1500. The $85,000 ralsed by the financial secretary last vear was the largest amount raised in any one year at Belevue since the found- ing of the school in 18%. This sum con- sisted of $25,000 contributed to the endow- ment fund, $19,00 collected for current expenses, $12.000 contributed to complete the gymnasium and $9,000 in legacles.

WITH SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES University of Nebraska Will Have Annua] Home-Coming No- vember 20. ‘MIXER' PLANNED FOR OCCASION ‘Ol Grads,” alumni of the university since the first class In the 'Ws, are coming back for the homecoming game | with Iowa on Nebraska field, November 2). The brilllant record of the foot ball team under the leadership of Coach Stlehm in the last five years is sufficient assurance that the game will be worth going miles to see. But the game is not all of the entertainment that has been provided for the former students. an all university “mixer” will be held in the armory in the evening, after the game. The “mixer” is in second year as an institution at the university, but it has proven one of the most popular and most democratic Innovations. An even- ing of good fun, dancing, gamed, movies, rubbing elbows with the other students- all at the cost of a quarter—is the idea of the ““mixer.” More than 1,000 students flocked to the last one. Both the large and small gymnasium The large floor on the east end will be used for dancing. In the chapel there will be games, dramatic sketches and moving plctures. No other university parties are scheduled for this night, and the “mixer” will be the means of cele- bration for the victory, or consolation for the defeat. The fraternities are making plans for the entertainment of their alumni mem- bers and there will be a number of par- ties and dances Friday evening. The Komensky Klub will give a homecoming play, and the University Dramatic club will present ‘‘Belleve Me, Xantippe,” one of the most successful New York come- dies of last season. The preliminary debate for the selection of the teams that will meet the Uni- versity of Kansas December 10 on the question of increasing the armament of the United States, will be held next Wednesday evening. The refusal of the cadet officers to give up their annual formal dancing party indicates that the university has not be- come wholly democratic as yet. The formals, with their flowers and cahs, have usually meant an expenditure of at least $ for each of the men students who attended. Thirty-five students of the engineering | college left Lincoln Thursday evening for the annual inspection trip, which was taken to Kansas City this year. The embryo engineers were the guests of the Kansas City Commercial club Friday and visited a number of the larger municipal plants and biggest bulldings, studying engineering problems that were presented in the construction of each. From Kan- sas City the students went to Lawrence, Kan., where they saw the foot ball clash between Nebraska and Kansas universi- Ities Baturday afternoon. R. L.

THE OMAHA BEE— THE HOME PAPER The Science of Building Construction had, as its crude beginning, the efforts of primitive man to provide a shelter from the elements, in caves hewn out of rock, or mud huts solldified by friendly winds and sun. From the cave and mud-hut dwellers day, to this, is indeed a far cry; for during the Intervening ages man’ needs have multiplied, and with his growing needs, the sclence of bullding, enriched by the architecture of the many periods, has made wonderful progr from the primi- tive, to its present phase of commercialism and usefulness. While it would be exceedingly interesting for us to trace for you the thoughts of men as they progressed through the ages, as these thoughts are reflected in the architecture of the various periods, it would prove of little practical value to either of us, except to show that the stream of modern «building thought runs in an entirely dif- ferent direction than ever before, Now-a-days when people are about to build, they con- sider usefuln and economy first, and art second, for the reason that & large number of economic conditions compel them to do 80; notable among which are: the Increase in the world’s population, the facllities for rapid inter-com- munication and travel, the expansion of commerce, the growth of cities, the rise of capital, the birth of new In- dustries, the needs of labor, and the increasing tendencies of men to congregate and live and to seek pleasure within the radius of a few municipal miles. These conditions, and intensive population in particu- lar, are continually driving up land values, and the higher the land values become, the more complicated becomes the problems of providing the kind of building improvements that will satisfactorily return a sufficient Income on the money Invested in the land. This brings us, face to face with the very first and very most important consideration of every prospective build- er, namely the subject of “Economy” in building construc- tion; and since the economy of bullding construction is dependant upon the efclency of the building methods em- ployed you will readily understand that the many compli- cated problems of the modern day builder must be con- sidered as a whole, rather than in parts. It is a significant fact that, despite the modern tend- ency to centralize great industries, that not until recent years has there been any effectual attempt made to es- tablish in bullding construction some semblance of or ganized control. Chief among the many reasons for this condition, is that the Building Construction Business, taken as a whole, calls for the services of men in elght or more professions, for the workmanship of forty-six or more trades and for the selection and purchase of hundreds of various matertals, products and devices. In spite of the faet that the building professions and trades, and building material people all, have more or less allled interests, they are, nevertheless, too diverse to be welded into a whole; on the other hand if they are allowed to operate independently, each individual 1s liable to per form his individual part of the work without appreciating feverish children a whole Cascaret any- time as they can not injure the thirty feet of tender ' better than salts, pills or calomel be- | bowels. ] ) its r,elntlon to the whole, t 18 due, largely, to this fact that many of those en- gaged In the building construction business, are today attempting to find some method of overcoming the seem- ing lack of ability on the part of the various building pro- :}c‘:’:nl ::d u’udenr 31 p;oducu the kind of co-operative on the part of , that is so nec phan o tan essary for efficiency Not only do those engaged in the buildin; business d mand it—but there is a constantly .rowlnz‘u:d |nullu|; demand among the buyers of building service for better and more business-like methods, that will eliminate the in- efficlency and uncertainty of the older day system. As a result of this demand on the part of the prospec- tive building owner, and the complaint of many who are already bullding owners who have suffered gross injustices at the hands of the old time system; and as a result of efforts, here and there, on the part of those engaged In the businese of building to overcome the faults complained of, there have sprung up in different parts of the country during the last few years Institutions who are applying modern business methods to the bullding business. These methods are the product of organizations, espe- clally equipped to handle as many lines of work, as can be handled, efficiently, direct. They are called “Modern Bulld. ing Organizations.” We call our Modern Bullding Method—*THE SINGLI Modernizing the Business of Building Most of the modern bullding organizations of today, which are doing business in various parts of the country are highly specialised groups of men who specialize In the work of handling monster bullding operations in the country’s large eft) The Bankers Realty Investment Company In bullding up a “Modern” Bullding Organization” has had to go a step farther thans thie— Besides equipping Itself to handle the large and com- plicated buflding structure, it has provided a method that will give to the much larger group of smaller building pur chasers, the same class of efficient bullding service, as the large building owner is commencing to get:—In other words, This Company’s “Modern Bullding Organization” has been especlally equipped to handle the problems of bullding construction here in Omaha and the Middle West —where we have under way, at the present time, various building operations amounting to many hundreds of thou- sands of dollars, ranging In price, per individual contract, from $300,000.00 to $1,900.00; and where we have com- pleted hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of bullding operations during the past few years. However, the points of greatest Interest to the pros- pective builder are not so much what we have done, or are doing for others, as what we can do for you; Indi- vidually. We have our own architectural department where you will recelve the individual attention of men fitted by train. Ing In some of th: ot schools of architecture In the coun- try as well as by years of practical training and experl- ence In the actual work of producing high ol; architec- tural service to handle your particul bullding problem. At the time of preparing your plan the advisory serv- lees of experienced Construction Il ing Engineers material experts and purchasing posal. of our bullding ints are at your dls When you have decided on the plans and materials, our bullding organization will become responsl r‘r( of the buliding operatiol ute assurance of final cost, gether with a guarant up by the kind of financl thing. The Bankers Realty Investment Company, in provid- ing organization that includes the services of the Archi- tect, the Material Purchasing Department, the Bullding Contractor,.the Mill Owner, together with the services of the Loan Institution, has succeeded in building up th kind of an organiszation, that is generally admitted among Architects and Building Contractors, to be necessary, If the old time system of conducting building operations s to be made more businesslike, from the view point of the Contractors and Architects; as well as more economical and definite from the view point of the building owner. On October 12—Mr. H. L. Lewman, president of the National Association of Bullders’ Exchanges in an address to the Omaha Buflders’ Exchange, gave voice to this senti- ment by urging upon the contractors the use of a revised contract form and detalled specifications adopted by the American Institute of Architects and the Natlonal Asso- clation of Bullders Exchanges, which, he stated, were more specific than formerly and which gives to the owner the benefit of less cost and provides against waste and de- lay. He spoke along the lines of co-operation and organi- zation, and he told the contractors, In effect, that a bufld. ing was & combination of so many different elements, that it was only by each individual sub-contractor properly arranging his work, as it related to the whole, that satis- factory results were to be obtalned for building owners and contractors alike, This Is, In effect, an Indorsement of the object, which this Comany and other large bullding organizations of its kind are secking to attain, which object Is, the giving to building owner the same opportunity to know what he is buying, when he Is buying bullding service, as when he buys any standard article of merchandlise.
