MEMORIAL HALL: As seen through the trees of Loring Park, a limestone and brick building of gracious appear¬ ance, modern in style, . . . Three broad marble steps conduct one to the magnificently appointed reception room. Conspicuous are the information desk, switchboard, and the individually locked, private student post office boxes, all beautifully constructed of highly polished natural wood. ... To the right are the busy executive offices—to the left, the business offices, the book store, and the great paneled door leading to the chapel. . , . This huge auditorium has the style of a concert hall, a large platform and an over¬ hanging balcony. . . . The simple beauty and richness is enhanced by the heavy velure curtain which may be drawn across the entire length of the platform, . . . The large several manualed organ console and its handsome paneling along the back of the platform adds immeasurably to the worshipful atmos¬ phere. . . . Marble steps lead to the second floor, where the numerous classrooms are all completely flourescent lighted and furnished with desk chairs, , . . Fronting each classroom are blackboards covering the entire width of the room. . . . The spacious library on the third floor contains twenty thousand volumes shelved in open stacks around the room, . . . Seating capacity is over two hundred. , . . Other noteworthy features of the entire student body as well as the faculty, and the tunnel which makes convenient passageway from the dormitories. . . . From the administration and classroom building one may enter directly the Moyer Memorial Gymnasium, constructed to be of regulation size, fitted out with standard equipment and several shower rooms. l Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good ' Psalm 107:1a,
