State legislative appropriations now total the planned costs for construction. Expenses which have not yet been fully funded are those connected with furnishing the building. Space statistics are: gross square feet = 193,355 assignable square feet = 11 2,000. At present, the Department is spread among five buildings in a total of 35,000 square feet. Parker Klein Associat es arc the architects for Elliott Hall, part of the firm's ten-year development plan for O ld Main Campus. As shown in the pictures of the model, Elliott Hall will curve slightly. By curving the building, the architects emphasize the central open space in front of Elliott Hall as a pedestrian collector. The curved shape also reflects the placement of present and future buildings in a common arc radiating from a common center.

POWER ASSIST DOOR OPENERS DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM: Power assist door openers operate a door by automatically opening the door when a button or remote control device is pushed. These openers are electric, electro-hydraulic, or electro-pneumatic. The door operates as a 11 typical 11 door for persons who do not need assistance. Power assist door openers are being placed on all new buildings and major remodelings. Buildings that have power assist door openers are: Minneapolis campus: Johnston Hall - north entry Smith Hall/Walter Library - ramp entry Appleby Hall Wi 11 i amson Ha 11 Electrical Engineering/Computer Science Building Amundson Hall Lind Hall Vincent Hall/Murphy Hall - Vincent Hall south entry Physics Building - ramp entry Northrop Auditorium (door assist, not opener) Unit J Hos pi ta 1 Phillips-Wangensteen Building Boynton Health Service Humphrey/SOM Center Wilson Library St. Paul campus: Green Hall Raptor Center Plans are being developed for the following buildings: Minneapolis campus: Electrical Engineering (1989 Legislative Request) Architecture (1989 Legislative Request) Recreational Sports Building (completion 1990) Suggested potential new power assist door opener projects: Elliott Ha 11 1919 University Avenue Lauderdale Computer Center Coffman Union St. Paul Student Center St. Paul Library/Vocational Technical Coffey Hall Willey Hall 13 ~.a:_1D~~~- De1licatio11, of t.Cl.d· 'Eav..\..k.. f H, c:it l-\'l..-U ELLIOTT HALL September 20, 1968 RICHARD M. ELLIOTT Richard Maurice Elliott A BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE As Richard M. Elliott recognizes in his autobiography, no simple statement of facts can produce a sense of "that deep gravity which persists in every human being" (Matisse) . It may, however, reveal the accuracy of his own statement that within psychology, "'R. M . Elliott' stands for administrator, teacher, editor." Born November 3, 1887, Richard Elliott was educated in the public schools of Lowell, Massachusetts, before attending Dart- mouth College where he majored in philosophy and psychology. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa, he continued graduate work at !'larvard, receivin~ ]~is A.M. in 1911 and his Ph.D. in psychology m 1913. As a recipient of a Sheldon Travelling Fellowship, he studied in Germany in 1914. He began his teaching career in psychology, first at Harvard and then at Yale, from 1915 to 1918. World War I brought a break in this pattern of academic progress, for R. M . Elliott became one of that distinguish ed group of psychologists who brought the new skills of psycholog- ical testing and classification to the United States Army. He served as Psychological Examiner and achieved the rank of Cap- tain, before returning to civilian life. In 1919, Dr. Elliott became the first chairman to lead what was to be a new Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota. In this position, which he held until 1951, his capaci- ties as an innovative and creative administrator and teacher were most significantly demonstrated. Indeed, the development of his department as a leading center in the nation for graduate and undergraduate study is inextricably interwoven with the biogra- phy of Richard Elliott. His emphasis on the central importance of the introductory course, which he taught throughout his ca- reer, and his creation of advanced courses in Human Behavior and in Biographical Psychology, are outstanding examples of the all-pervasive influence of his leadership in his chosen area of teaching. Within five years of his arrival at Minnesota, Richard Elliott was appointed editor of the Century Psychology Series, now published h y Applcton-Ccntury-Croft-s. In this position which he has held throughout his career, he has again shown l,is nur- turant geuius tlirough the production, over a long span of time, of a series of sch olarly publications which are unrivalled in their distinction and influence in the field. As a psych ologist, Richard Elliott played a large part in fos- tering the t radition of applied psychology at Minnesota. H e served, with Donald G. Paterson, as director of the project spon- sored by a committee of the National Research Council which began work in 1924 and culminated in the publication in 1930 of the Minnesota Mechanical Abilit ies Tests. He was Associate Chairman of a committee of the E mployment Stabilization Re- search Institute which carried out the research reported in the classic book, Ivlen , \Vo men and Jobs, which was written with his assistance. At the national level, Richard Elliott was a member of the Board of Directors of The Psychological Corporation and was American Psychological Association representative to the Social Science Research Council; during vVorld \ Var II, he served on the National Research Council's sub-committee . on Sun1ey and Planning in Psychology. T hese facts make plain that Richard M . Elliott's career h as been outstanding as psychologist, teacher, administrator and editor. But for his students, his colleagues and his many friends, the facts alone cannot encompass the human being for wh om Elliott Hall is named: the man who loves astronomy, ornithology and travel in addition to psychology; who once refused offered deanships as posing a threat to his humanity; and who so enjoys the " juice of a field of learning" that he can exult, " ... I never forget, it has been my privilege to be paid to examine the .
