Removal of the University of
Texas to the Brackenridge tract
in West Austin will begin as
soon as the Texas Legislature
ratifies the action of the Board
of Regents and makes the nec-
essary appropriations. Dr. R. E.
Vinson, president of the Univer-
sity of Texas, announced Thurs-
day night in an exclusive inter-
view with an Austin American
reporter.
It is the hope of the Board of Re-
gents to have enough of the plant
completed to begin classes in the new
buildings during the session of 1923-
24, Dr. Vinson said, while they expect
five years will be required to com-
plete the building plan contemplated.

Removal of the University of
Texas to the banks of the Colorado
River and Lake Austin may result in
the taking over of the Lake Aurtin
Dam for generating electrical power.
H. A. Wroe. member of the board
of Regents of the University of Texas
declared Thursday night.
Mr. Wroe estimated that only ap-
proximately $35,000 would be re-
quired to put the dam into operation,
and he declared that this would he
more than repaid in the saving of
fuel bills. • -
Would Lease Dam.
He said that it would be necessary
for the new University of Texas site
to be connected with the electrical
lines of the City of Austin, and that
he believed it would be economy for
Austin to operate the' dam.
He proposed a plan whereby the
dam could be leased from the re-
