Kauke Hall BY 1903 ALL BUILDINGS WERE COMPLETED On March 5, 1902, the chapel was formally dedicated. The campaign for the funds for the necessary buildings was a thing of the past. Now only the hopes for the future remained, and they were brought even closer to realization by the arrival of workmen to begin actual construction on the planned build- ings. College work went on as it had throughout all this period of excitement and unsettlement. After commencement the college began to resemble a great industrial center. Loads of brick and terra cotta, wire, iron, cement, and dirt began to litter the campus. Bricklayers, hod carriers, and excavators replaced the students. The fall of 1902 once again brought the return of the students, and now the buildings nearly were completed. Wooster was a different place! The winter of 1903 saw classes move into Kauke Hall. The challenge had been presented and met. Greatness blew a trumpet and greatness responded.

Taylor Hall PLANS WERE LAID FOR FIVE BUILDINGS After the plans laid for a dynamic campaign to raise funds to re-build the collec fairly under wav, President Holden turned his thoughts to another problem. He met with the Board. of Trustees to determine the needs of the college. They realized the folly of building along the old plan and resolved to put their eggs in different baskets , There should he at least four buildings, a main administration and recitation hall. a separate building for the preparatory department, a science building, and a central heating plant that would greatly diminish the danger of future fires. Everything must be done to equip these buildings against fires by making them as modern as possible. Upon further thought it was decided that two science buildings were needed . . . one for geology and biology and one for physics and chemistry. Taking advantage of the fact that his brother was an architect, President Holden had him draw up plans for these buildings in modern Gothic style. Now if only the money would be raised. the dreams could begin to materialize! Severance Gynlnasiurn
