E Across the street west and on the same corner is the Methodist Epis- copal Church, a fine modern brick structure. The main auditorium will seat about four or five hundred people and contains a pipe organ. The building was built a few years ago by Park Bros. The lake is one of the most attractive features of the city and Col- lege. It is about five miles long and two wide at the widest point. In the spring and summer and fall it affords great enjoyment to those who like canoeing, rowing, swimming and picnicking. In the winter ice boat- ing and skating adds to the students' enjoyment of college life. At'Chautauqua Point is the park given over to the chautauqua uses and is known by that name. West Park is about four blocks west of Chautauqua Park and is given over wholly for recreation and pleasure. The two parks afford ample room for the people to enjoy themselves during the summer weather.

V The Presbyterian Church is on' the corner of Fourth and Cayuga streets five blocks east from the College Campus. Nearly all of the stu- dents attend here because of the fact that it is the denomination of the College. '

GREATER BUENA VISTA Q-ij, The time has come when we must think S of Buena Vista in larger terms than in the ' past. Any school to meet the demands of U the present must grow not only in members 1' in-. Eh' but in facultyg also in buildings and equip- rumm ment. In this volume you will find a cut of Elf. E.: .4 what some day we hope to see on the campus S in the way of buildings for future student 5 2 bodies to enjoy. 'if 'gf Greater Buena Vista will have at least 500 e gi students. This is possible. We have set E U our mark for next year at 300 and we are in a fair way to see this realized. We want a Freshman class of 35. The institution must have a better heating plant for next year. This must ' come. It is impossible to keep the rooms comfortable in such extreme . weather as we have here in north- western Iowa with the present heat- ing plant. The present plant wastes G , SFCOH S72 - lb- ali Pr lil, nutf- ' , LAK' ,-,.,- , Mia.: aff' fuel. There could be a saving of .faeff-ff-fFf4 from 350.00 to 3100.00 in fuel each - LAKE year. Greater Buena Vista will have the following buildings: A Science Hall fully equipped for all advanced workg a Library building to meet the needs of the Collegeg a chapel in which all our religious services shall be held and shall be the center of all our re- ligious life. A new Ladies' Hall fully equipped and completely modern. A gym up-to-date, in which the physical side of the college life shall be fully cared for. Greater Buena Vista will have at least eight chairs endowed with an endowment of not less than 325,000.00 each. The Library shall be so equipped as to meet the needs for all re- search on the part of students. The College will have an endowment .of 3500,000.00 so placed on a good firm financial basis. These things are not merely of the imagination but are a possibility. I believe that the many friends of the College will rally to the support of the 'institution and make these things mentioned above a reality. ' Ten years from the present date I see some graduates coming back to visit old friends. They think that while in town they will go out and see the old College. As they go out to the College addition they marvel at the change. Corning to the campus they think for a moment it is all a dream, but when hands are pressed against real cement, stone and brick and the reality of a complete campus is forced upon their minds, they know then that the dreams, the prayers, the struggles and labors of past years have borne a rich harvest. So might it be.
