The Chapel stage has been enlarged, new seats installed, and a new lighting system imparts a tungsten cheerfulness to the scene. On the rear of the floor are located the new C. E. draft- ing room, two C. E. lecture rooms, and the oiiices of the department. r On the second floor are two bright study rooms, a pretty ladies' retiring room, and a student publications' room. The large central room has become the Mechanical Engineering drafting room. The rear of the floor is occupied by the lecture rooms and oilices of the Mathematics Department. ln the front of the third floor, an electro-chemical laboratory, a radio telephone and telegraph labora- tory, and a mechanicians shop are being equipped. A large examination room occupies the center of the floor. ln the rear, the English lecture rooms, the English Department Library, and the offices of the depart- ment are situated. On the fourth floor are several well lighted, new chemical laboratories. ' ln the Institute Building, also, there have been many changes. ln the gymnasium, the basketball court has been improved by the removal of half the track. The shop department occupies the forlner testing materials laboratory and the oHices of the Registrar. On the third floor, replacing the old electrical meas- urements laboratory and the store room, is the beautiful Potts Laboratory of Physics. ln the former Studio drafting room is being constructed a large, modern industrial chemistry laboratory, and a new balance room for quantitative Work has been completed. . These are but the major changes. lnnumerable others have been made, a description of which would be many pages long. Suflice it too say that, since these things have happened, Poly is a better place to live in, a bigger place, and--we hope-a more useful place. p To the Board of Trustees, whose loyalty and generosity have made possible these good and much needed changes, we all,'faculty and students, feel deeply grateful. And perhaps the best way to prove our worthiness of what has been done is to make of the Institute truly a Greater Poly, a place of greater worth, of greater accomplishments, and of greater service. 14
