Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Efforts are cur:

Requests

Needs at Austin force the Board of Control to ask the 19!
convention for

1. $100,000 for the erection of a boys’ dormitory. Kilian:
the only dormitory on the campus, is filled beyond capacity. Add
tional housing facilities are urgently needed. The grant of $100,0
would permit the erection of a building housing sixty boys.

2. $135,000 for the complete renovation of Kilian Hall. Kil
Hall was built in 1926. Economy — not altogether wise — fore
on the Board at that time resulted in a building not approximati
the ideal in construction. The $135,000 is needed to renovate tha
structure. ;

3. $8,500 for installing multitier stacks in library stack roory
