Plant and Property

The 1944 convention authorized the remodeling of Miessler
Hall to provide for an adequate infirmary. As a result of the
P.T.O. our Board of Control was able to make an addition to
this building, to provide not only an infirmary, but the housing for
28 boys of the freshman and sophomore high school classes and
their housemaster. This building will be completely occupied
in September.

To meet the pressure of our growing enrollment and the in-
creasing needs of the field, our board felt itself forced to convert
and remodel one of the older faculty homes into a dormitory, to
purchase an adjoining house, to rehabilitate it, and to connect the
two, thus providing housing for 40 girls and the dean of women.

The new women’s dormitory granted by the last convention
is not yet completed, although its plans were carefully prepared,
modified with changing conditions, and approved by the archi-
tectural adviser to the Board for Higher Education. This dormitory
will house 38 girls and a housemother, when it is completed.

During the triennium the Board of Control, with the approval
of the Board of Directors, purchased three homes for faculty
members,

Two lots located between existing college properties and facing
the main campus were purchased to safeguard college interests.
A residence was bought and moved to the campus to house our
assistant engineer.
