he One-Stor Veranda. tsniy p OU are aware of the fact that a Dormitory has been built for the girls, but you are not aware of N- is 4: the fact that just on the front side of that Dormitory is stuck a one-story veranda, and that story is next to the ground. V jp ,J,. yl 9 Every one is thankful for a home for the girls, even though that home has only a one-story t 5 n veranda. What if it didn't have any veranda ! No building has been so much needed since girls were Hrst admitted to tl1e institution as a Dormitory for them. And it was only through the liberality of the last Legislature that a suflicient amount was appropriated for the construction of such a building. How thankful we are for this! But why didn't they appropriate just a little bit more, so that 'we could have built a two-story veranda? A suite of rooms has been set apart for the President, and 110 doubt he will be given an interest in the one-story veranda. It is probable that a number of the cadets have already applied for sitting or at least standing room on this one-story veranda for just a little while each Friday evening. So it is evident that boys, as well as girls, appreciate verandas, though they may be only one story. No doubt it is a great pleasure for parents to think that their girls will have a home, where everybody is equal to everybody else so far as food, privileges, one-story verandas, etc., are concerned. A house with a one-story veranda has just as much room inside, and really there is more room outside of it, and no doubt it was with this in View that the Directors ordered that this particular sawed-off and hammered- down veranda should have only 0116 story. A one-story veranda does 11ot take up any more space on the ground than one of an infinite mnnber of stories 3 but it does take up less space in the elements, and space is an object in one sense. But there is a space that might have been made to contain an object about the shape and size of the secondestory veranda of a certain gir1's Dormitory without specially marring the general appearance of the atmosphere now iilling said space. 95
