104 LIFE AND WORK OF DR. A. A. MURPHREE

and with Prof. H. W. Chandler of the department of mathe-
matics, who was gathering statistical data for the president's
study in attacking the problem. With the beginning of the
1927 term Dr. Murphree had worked out a new department
of registration, with Mr. Chandler as registrar, and a compe-
tent staff.
 "Dr. Murphree watched closely the details of our new
system, and was gratified to see that the plans were success-
ful," Mr. Chandler said. "It was typical of how he let no de-
tails of administrative work escape his attention."
Unfinished Tasks
 The monument is not completed. There were many un-
finished tasks to which Dr. Murphree was devoting his heart,
soul and life. Two such projects stand out in such important
lights as to be worthy of special mention: the construction of
the new administration building and the erection of the radio
broadcasting station.
 When the University chapel building was erected, the
first unit of the administration building was completed. On
the north end of this building where the temporary entrances
to the back of the chapel now rise, is to be erected the adminis-
tration building proper. Plans for this building indicate that
it will be a credit to the beautiful campus of the University.
That Dr. Murphree frequently visualized the completed build-
ing, which was to house his offices and those of the administra-
tive staff, is indicated by the fact that he pointed out the site
for the new building quite regularly to the visitors on the
campus. Many a distinguished guest of the University, about
to enter the chapel building with the University President, has
heard him say, "and here, very soon, will be erected our
magnificent administration building."
 The legislature of 1925 authorized the appropriation of
funds for the radio broadcasting station. In 1927 the appro-
priation was increased and preliminary work was begun on
the erection of the station. It is to be constructed 1500 feet
south of the auditorium.
 The station is to be one of the largest in the south, and
much larger than that of any other station in use by'uiversi-
ties at the present time.
