"U" To Provide New Statewide Adult Teaching Groups from Many Professions Will Be Asked To Campus For Courses
What may prove to be a more important statewide contact of the University of Minnesota than any other except the Agricultural Extension Division is seen by university officials in the Adult Education Building that will be started on the campus December 1.
Dr. L. D. Coffman, president, has long had the idea that a building on the campus to which practicing members of professional and vocational groups could be brought for intensive short courses intended to give them the "very latest word" in their lines of endeavor, would be tremendously worth while. His dream is now to be realized in a new building for which the institution will put up 55 per cent of the cost from its dormitory funds while 45 percent will come from Washington, via PWA.
The building will provide living and eating quarters, an auditorium and conference rooms for about 100 to 150 people. To these quarters will be brought, for example, a group of physicians, dentists, clergymen, school teachers, newspaper men or engineers who can meet on common ground and who are willing to spend two, three or four weeks hearing lectures by members of the university faculty.
The place where you get what you want—when you want it.
