80 . SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

Women, including the proposed add .

while the new Dormitory for
tion, would take care of 240 women, slightly over our present nung

ber enrolled. In case we cannot recruit men to the capacity’
the old dormitories, we propose in the meantime to devote “
unfilled units to the housing of additional women to the full
capacity of all facilities as long as the need exists. -
The construction of the proposed dormitory wing for 160 s id
dents would be comparatively economical per student, owing
the facilities already built into the present unit. The present bui 3
ing has the central stairway of the complete plan besides a south
stair well. The proposed wing would need only a north stair well}
In the present unit there are the following facilities: a two-roomé
and-bath apartment for the supervisor of women, office, recepticg
room, lounge, two rooms with half-bath for assistant supervisors
and central boiler room. The new wing could be devoted tos 3
dent rooms only. A three-story and basement unit for 160 stu
dents, according to present estimates, can be constructed of brick
and re-enforced concrete, similar to that of the original unit, fod
$325,000 exclusive of furnishings. ;
Request: We respectfully request the sum of $325,000 for tha
construction of the north wing of the Dormitory for Women, hous!

ing approximately 160 students.

Auditorium. Although the need was recognized, the necessa

funds for the complete plan could not be made available. V
feel constrained to repeat our request for an Auditorium for ¢

following reasons.

Under the present arrangement we are obliged to use ‘
Gymnasium in a double capacity. It is in use continuously dur
all school days to carry out our program in physical educati
At the same time it must serve as an auditorium for the preset
tion of all of our programs in the fine arts (music and dram
This double use of the Gymnasium does not provide suffic
time in both areas. We cannot encroach on our program of pt
