WRIGHT Hall, a gift of Ammi W. Wright, one of Alma's greatest benefactors, was built in l902. Wright Hall is the center of Alma College life, for it contains the living quarters for the girls, the college dining-room, and many of the college functions take place in the large reception rooms. Wright Hall also contains the chapter rooms of the four societies of Alma College: Alpha Theta, Kappa lota, Philomathean, and Pi Sigma Nu. One of Dr. Dunning's first tasks upon assuming the presidency of Alma College last fune was the improvement of the students' living quarters. Wright Hall and Pioneer Hall were completely renovated. The corridors were painted and new flooring was laid: the staircases were repaired, the lighting improved, new furniture and rugs was bought for the rooms. New bathrooms and lava- tories of tile and terrazzo were added. The latest improvement to the dormitory is a large new recreation room, furnished with blue and cream modern leather lounge furniture, indirect lights, large bookcases filled with books donated by the library, a combination radio-phonograph, games and two regulation ping-pong tables. This room has rapidly become the headquarters for the men and women of Alma College. This year, Mrs. lda Love Hutton became the new housemother, replacing Miss Leila Houser. Mrs. Hutton is a true housemother, planning parties for the girls, helping them to have better recrea- tional facilities, and guiding their living. Mrs. Hutton is a helper and a counselor for Wright Hall women. For the first time, Alma College has had a registered nurse in the dormitory. Miss Louise Marshall, who is studying here, is the college nurse, taking charge of all sickness whenever it breaks out. She has complete facilities including a hospital room with full equipment. 20 Mrs, Hutton WRIGHT HALL
