'fwfr f v! N 5 '-'xl .zany ,W - U xl- ., -..Lis f V Qf' OCUDCJQUI QI' I ' MR. LEVI S. Sivuru Mrs. Levi S. SMITH Qmitij Iaall HERE was brought to completion this year the first of a group of modern dormitories which it is planned to build for Southwestern students. This splendid building, a beautiful and convenient home for sixty girls, was made possible through an annuity gift of Hfty thousand dollars made by Mr. and Mrs. Levi S. Smith of Kinsley, Kansas. The college grieves that Mr. Smith could nct have lived to see the completion of the building. Built upon the cottage style of architecture, with green gables, high chimneys, sheltered doorways, and divided sash Windows, it presents a beautiful exterior. The pleasing simplicity of the interior decorations gives the various rcoirs a con- vivial, home-like appearance. The basement is equipped to be the boarding cen- ter ofthe college community. The commodious living room, the dormitory proper on the third floor and the girls' rooms all mark the very latest developnfents in comfort, convenience, and style. Smith Hall, which has been pronounced the finest college dormitory in the Central West, forms the central one of three buildings eventually to be erected for the girls of Southwestern. Three similar dormitories will be provided for the men at corresponding positions on the opposite side of the campus according to the present plans. . The completion of this new structure marks the passage of the first mile post toward the development of Southwestern's campus which authorities have ranked as one of the three Hnest sites for the location of a college in the western part of the United States.
