Memorial Hall. If S ) those students desiring to economize and, at the same time, secure all the advantauesol a complete college education, theladiesof the Sovith- ern Presbyterian Church have erected a beautiful, large and commo- dious brick Ijuilding on the west side of our campus and in near proximity to the college.

Students are made to feel that this is their home, and all are jilaced u])on their honor as gentlemen to behave properly and orderly at all times, and to ])reserYe this fitting memorial to the noble deeds and gen- eious lives of its founders. The cam])us, consisting of fortv acres of beautiful rolling land, on vhic h is a charming grove of ma])le trees, intersjjerscd with walks and winding drivewavs, furnishes a cool and pleasant retreat from the hot, dustv citv, and doe.s much to eliminate the loafing on oin- streets and in our jiublic places. Indeed, it is doubtful whether a better place for students could be found in this country. The Hall, as it is familiarly called, is the model place for students ' convenience, and all should avail themselves of the glo- rious opportunity offered them.

' very convenient to study between recitations in the student ' s own room. To the athletic student it also strongly recommends itself as the best possi- ble place, since all the athletic tracks, tennis courts, base ball and foot ball fields are at his very door, and he only needs to step out of his room to be on the grounds. One other feature that also makes it doubly attractive to him is the convenient and excellent shower baths, either hot or cold, that are to be found at all times, in the Hall basement. To the reader, it is the ideal place, and to the thinker, his Paradise. In- deed, taking it all in all, it is the home for bo s, and every year sees better order and an increased number of students within Its hospitable walls. IB ! i A
