Jordan Hall and the other buildings now in use are but the be- ginning of an extensive building program adopted by the directors. The general plan calls for additional buildings, as needed, the building operations to cover a period of years. As the need arises and funds are available other units will be erected. Among the first of these additions, in all probability, will be a building to house the College of Religion, an administration building and dormitories. Serious considera- tion is also being given to the urgent need of a building to provide a common meeting place for student groups and the entire student body. All buildings are to be constructed of the same material as that of Jordan Hall and of the same type of architecture. The program has been temporarily suspended, but with the return of more favorable economic conditions will again go forward. As soon as conditions will permit, an intensive campaign will be launched by the board of directors to provide additional funds for en- dowment and scholarships. The directors recognize the fact that, primarily, Butler is an urban institution, and they are committed to a policy and program to build eventually at Fairview a university with a curriculum so comprehensive, and so adequately financed that every young man and woman in Indianapolis and vicinity, with the inclination, and intellectual capacity and ability, shall be able to secure here an education to meet fully his needs and desires. the opposite page was a snapshot winner taken by Ws
