Mossman had a large tent stretched on the College campus. Here the delegates to the conven- tion were invited, and before them was spread an excellent banquet. President Mossman then proposed the subject of a new building, announcing that hc had a subscription list started. The delegates responded generously, and soon about 343,000 was raised. The Board of Trustees immediately began to plan, bids were submitted, and on November 5th, 1908, the construction of the new building was awarded to H. Eilenberger S: Company, of Chicago. Work was begun at once. The new building is to be ready for occupancy by the opening of the second semester of next year, and will cost when completed about 2iiS70,000, most of this amount having already been raised. A more picturesque situation for the new building could sca1'cely be imagined. To the south and west lies the city of Winfield, girded by the Walnut rivcrg While to the north and east stretch fertile fields and broad pastures. Nor did the activity of the President cease here. In 1906, an Athletic Park, one block west of the campus and containing about tive acres, was purchased. A high board fence was erected around the Park, and here all out-door athletic contests are held. An instructor in athletics has been added to the faculty, and all such events come under his supervision. SOUTHWESTERN AS A COLLEGE But not so much by what a school has is it known, as by the finished product that it turns out. Southwestern is justly proud of her record as a college of Kansas. Twice has her representa- tive won the State Oratorical contest: in 189-L, John VV. Wetzel, now professor of oratory at Yaleg and in 1905, Wilbur E. liroadie, now a practicing-attorney in Wintield. In debate, also, we have been equally successful. 1Ve administered to Baker, in 1906, the second defeat in lier debate historyg we defeated Ottawa University successively in 1907 and in 1908. Southwestern is also remarkable for the air of studiousness that pervades the entire student body. And combined with this, there is a high moral and religious tone, which makes our College an excellent place for a young man or a young woman. Our literary societies, more than any other one feature, contribute to the great enjoyment and benefit of college life. There is a spirit of rivalry among them, which adds pungeney without sharpness. The broad and general training received here fits the student peculiarly well for any work that may follow his college course. The policy of an institution controls in a great measure the policy of its student body. The faculty of Southwestern has ever striven to maintain a high moral standard. That this policy has been eminently successful is fully attestd by the alumni of the College. It has always been the endeavor of Southwestern to produce well-balanced, full-rounded men and women, who, because of their high intellectual and moral qualities, are excellently qualified to take their place in the larger work of the world. fl- Y iff' at , i-- - Qidfil, giiifiiivfsl ,, ., , -, A-. -JF. ., at i-I fy ug..
