In the meantime, cold weather accompanied by snou end freezing drizzle plunged on outside structures as well as major interior work. Appearances, however, can be and often are deceiving, ing. Miss Kirkwood points out that certain jxirtions of the building which appear to be either completed or near completion will need additional corrective work before they will meet contract specifications and be acceptable to the college.
