dormitory, believes that the reconstruction of Baden Hall can be
done for $145,000.

In view of the fact that Synod ought not to endanger the lives
F and safety of its students, the Board of Control of St. John’s College

‘petitions Synod for funds to rebuild Baden Hall and make it
fireproof.

The building is too valuable to be torn down, and it is too
dangerous to be occupied in its present condition. During the
current year it was occupied by 117 girls.

According to the plans of our Board of Control, this building
is again to be used as a boys’ dormitory. ©

REQUEST FOR A NEW WING TO BE ADDED TO THE WOMEN’S
‘ NEW DORMITORY
(Unprinted Memorial 60)
During the years 1949—1950 St. John’s College built a new
dormitory for women, which will house 120 women. During this
same. period of time St. John’s has had 117 women in old Baden

Hall and 38 girls in. South Hall, a reconditioned old farm house.

At the same time there were 211 boys housed in West Dormitory.
West Dormitory was intended originally for 168 men and boys.

It is very evident that the dormitories, both Baden Hall and
West Dormitory, are very much overcrowded. South Hall should
not be used at all for the housing of girls.

It is true, the women’s new dormitory will house 120. To take
care of our teacher training-parish worker students alone, we
neéd place for 180 women.

The additional wing; planned at the time when the women’s
dormitory was planned, will house 60 women. That would give
us room for 180 women for our teacher training-parish worker
students.

This building is planned of the same material, the same fire-
proof construction, the same arrangement of two in a room which
the women’s new dormitory has.

_ During the emergency St.John is asked to furnish 75 women
teachers each year for Synod. Therefore we believe that this

4 building should be erected just as soon as possible.
