tion in the State. Graduate courses are given in the various departments.

The campus comprises one hundred acres. The buildings are large and imposing and the most of them having been built recently are adapted to the most approved forms of instruction.

The Library, the gift of Mr. Carnegie, is furnished with about twenty seminar rooms. The School of Library Economics is in this building.

The dormitories are sanitary and planned for the safety and comfort of the students. It is the plan of the University to furnish board without profit, securing to the students as much as possible for the price paid. The last dormitory erected was opened this year. It comprises five fireproof apartments accommodating forty students each. It has been planned and constructed with great care. The occupants are self-governing.

The University furnishes its own heat, light and power from a Central

Heating Plant, thus eliminating the danger from fire in dormitories and recitational buildings.

The Library is endowed with $250,000. Books, therefore, are being added constantly.

The museums are receiving frequent additions of illustrative material.

The University is non-sectarian, but positively Christian in ethical requirement and influence. The Christian Associations are vigorous organizations. The students select church attendance according to their religious preferences. The usual College sports are encouraged. The physical instruction is systematic and seeks to secure the sound body for the sound mind.

A stadium of great proportions and expense has recently been erected. It

nasium in the country is now in process of erection.

Rowing has received much attention, and the crews of the University have given good account of themselves at Poughkeepsie.

The faculty comprises 220, representing more than seventy of the leading Universities of Europe and America. The student enrollment is about 3,200.

The plans for the future call for more buildings and further equipment. Six buildings were in process of erection the past year.

The location in the centre of the greatest State in the Union, on railways that furnish nearly two hundred trains every day, within five and a half hours

of New York and a little more than a night of Chicago, in a city that is very near the top of the list for healthfulness, in a convention town to which come many instructive conventions, secures to Syracuse University many advantages and the certainty of a great future.

There are many opportunities for self help, and the fees are so moderate and the student habits are so economical as to render it possible for any student of grit and courage to successfully complete a College course.

While self-government is encouraged, sound morals and careful habits are regarded as prerequisite to the soundest and safest scholarship and are insisted upon uncompromisingly.

OF NEW YORK

More Than One Hundred Million Dollars in Its Vaults

No Similar Institution in All the World Has Such an Immense Volume of Deposits

T

HE Bowery Savings Bank of New York City, located in the very centre of Gotham's famous East Side district, is the largest and most successful savings bank in the entire world. This wonderful institution has a depositors' list of more than one hundred and fifty thousand, which is made up of representatives of every race on the globe. Founded for the sole purpose of protecting the savings of the thrifty poor, The Bowery Savings Bank has never deviated from that purpose in its long existence, and to-day stands as a monument to the nation's prosperity, and furnishes an irrefutable argument of the thrift and saving habit of a large proportion of the masses.

Absolute confidence is the foundation rock upon which The Bowery Savings Bank stands, and there is not one of its depositors, no matter how lowly, but knows that his or her individual interests are perfectly safe therein. There is, moreover, a distinctly human side to this famous bank, which is little dreamed of by those not cognizant with its working. It is constantly reaching out a helping hand to the thousands of struggling men and women who are on its rolls, inviting them to economize and save. If a depositor-who is withdrawing his money apparently to put into some wild-cat scheme-will listen to advice. he is invited to "talk the matter over with the president." The depositor nearly always consents to do this, in which event, if he is about to enter into some foolish speculation, he is usually saved. The president of this famous bank and all of its officers are always on the alert to protect the depositors against the thousands and one pitfalls that beset the unsophisticated, and that is one very potent reason why the bank has grown to be the monarch of the savings bank world. This one bank has greater savings than all Canada, all Norway, or all Holland; it has one-tenth as much as all Great Britain. It is paying its depositors $4,000,000 a year on their savings. This is a record unparelleled in the world.

Any person may become a depositor in The Bowery Savings Bank, no matter where he lives, so long as he can write his name in English. That is the only requirement. Thousands of depositors transact their business with the bank by mail, and are thus enabled to participate in the splendid interest on their deposits, that is made possible by the giltedge securities held by the bank, which is in possession of the highest character of collateral to be obtained. Under the laws of New York, savings banks are subjected to rigid control. The management is in the hands of men of known integrity, whose services are entirely gratuitous, and who delight in conserving the interests of such an institution. In all other States the funds of a savings bank may be loaned much as by commercial banks, while in New York the restriction imposed by the statutes assures absolute safety.

The "Banking-by-Mail" system has been conducted by The Bowery Savings Bank for many years. It is said that this bank originated this method of banking in the State of New York.

To send a dollar from any point in the United States to The Bowery Savings Bank by Post-Office Money Order costs five cents, including the stamp to carry the letter, while, if one lived in New York City, in nearly every case it would cost twice that amount to get the same dollar to the same bank because of street car fare. So the out-of-town depositor has really the advantage over his New York brother in the question of strict economy,

Mr. William H. S. Wood, one of the most prominent men in New York, is president of The Bowery Savings Bank. Every working day of the year he is at his desk in the big bank building on the Bowery, and he knows every detail of the vast machinery that keeps the institution going, and keeps it ahead of all of its fellows. Mr. John J. Sinclair, also a splendid citizen of New York, is the vice-president, and Mr. Robert B. Woodward, equally eminent, is the second vice-president. Mr. Henry A. Schenck, the comptroller, is a man of marked ability.

We earnestly advise all our readers to send for a copy of this bank's little pamphlet entitled, "Banking by Mail," which will be forwarded free upon request to The Bowery Savings Bank, 128 and 130 Bowery, New York.

REARING

E

ARLY in the Spring of 1840, De Witt Clinton Weeks came to the city and started in the building business. Since that time the firm he established has been continuously in business-the present head of which is Mr. Francis M. Weeks, the son of De Witt Clinton Weeks-and many large operations and finest class of residences have been built by it. The Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Church, Fourth Avenue and Twentysecond Street, is an existing monument of the work of De Witt Clinton Weeks.

The old St. Thomas Church, at the corner of Fifty-third Street and Fifth Avenue, built in 1869 and burned a few years ago, was the first building erected under the firm name of D. C. Weeks & Son. Prior to that time De Witt Clinton Weeks had been operating under his own name. The result of the fire, which completely consumed everything burnable in the building, leaving the walls practically intact, is proof of the claim of the Messrs. Weeks that nothing but the very best of workmanship has ever entered into their buildings since the earliest days of the firm's operations. The ruins of the old St. Thomas Church stand to-day as a monument to this fact. The first building of the American Museum of Natural History, the old Queens County Court House, Long Island City, are other buildings constructed about the same period. Of the modern work of the firm the following are a few examples of its successes: The estate of G. W. Vanderbilt, the well-known "Biltmore," on which work was carried on continuously for seven years.

JULY 25, 1907.

The Morton Building, at the corner of Ann and Nassau Streets. This is a twelve-story building, of which the foundations were laid in October and the tenants were moving in on the first of the following May.

The residences of Mr. Samuel Thorne and John W. Sterling, on Fifth Avenue, between Seventy-second and Seventy-third Streets, which are among the best examples of the work of the late Bruce Price, Architect.

"The Marble Twins," two residences with seventy-five feet frontage on Fifth Avenue, between Fifty-first and Fifty-second Streets.

Residence of Mr. Morton F. Plant, corner of Fifty-second Street and Fifth Avenue. Alterations to the residence of Mr. G. W. Vanderbilt, at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Fifty-first Street.

Residence for Mr. Robert Olyphant, East Fifty-second Street.

Residence for Mr. George W. Blumenthal, West Fifty-third Street.

Residence for Mr. Anson R. Flower, 601 Fifth Avenue.

Two ten-story buildings for Huyler's Candy Factory.

Ten buildings for the New York Telephone Company, New York City.

Two buildings for the Central New York Telephone Company at Syracuse.

One building for the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company at Baltimore, Md., on which the world's record was made for speed of construction, as several stories of a nine-story building were ready for occupancy 149 days after the excavation was started.

On a telephone building on East Twenty-ninth Street, between Fourth and Madison Avenues, one of the most novel engineering feats ever attempted in the building line was carried out by this firm. The supporting walls for four floors and the roof of the building were entirely removed and the floors were supported by iron rods fastened to beams at the top of the building, which were supported by heavy timber towers. The new addition was completed and the floors picked up and connected with the new structure, and the whole building completed without so much as cracking the plaster in the old portion. Among the firm's heavy contracting work the foundations for the Seventy-fourth Street Power House of the Manhattan Elevated Railway Company and the foundations for the Port Morris Power House, supplying power for the New York Central Railroad Company's Grand Central yards, which included cofferdam work, heavy earth and rock excavation and an enormous amount of the piers going down rock foundation..

The New York Press Club and the Lorillard estate owned the land on which the new addition is nearing completion, from whom Mr. Pulitzer purchased it. No. 12 Frankfort Street, included in this plot, was the birthplace of the New York Staats-Zeitung. Historical associations are also
