'. In addition to a library, we are also badly in need of ' A new
“and suitable classroom space for our science department. At pres-
“ent three of our science laboratories are basement rooms with half
-windows, Facilities now at our disposal do not provide for ade-.
-quate classroom space, storage space, or workshop space. . In: :conse= .
quence the number of, students that can be accommodated in our
various science courses: is decidedly limited.. It is our-intention-to
‘house our science department i in the same building With: our library
for: the: sake of economy. and convenience. However, we shall
“defray all of the cost of that portion of the building used for science
laboratories, equipment, and related: purposes through funds con- .
tributed by the members of our congregations located in the area
-served ‘by our school.

Our request, then, resolves itself into this: that Synod appro-
priate $80,000 for the erection ofa suitable library on our campus, ‘
“with the understanding that an amount at least equal’ to that sum.
- be raised by our local constituency to provide for additions to the

~ building which shall contain our science department and whatever
‘other features may’ be found necessary.
