In the meantime our present buildings are crowded to their capacity, and there is not a desirable house to rent vacant in the town. Georgetown now has miles of cement walks, has lights on her streets all night, is soon to have full delivery of the mail, and a United States post office building. So it will become more and more a model site for a great college, and the growing college will steadily react in stimulating a further enlarging and beautifying of the town. In a few years the imagination can behold all those things provided for our town and University, making our Alma Mater, a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Standing down by the railroad where the arch is to span the drive-way between the University and Mood Hall, these buildings will loom up in a magnificent vista. To the left will rise first, the new Library, with a chaste and effective facade, imposing in size, and filled with the wisdom of the ages. Then will come the well kept Ten nis Courts made into things of beauty. Next the familiar Mood Hall, that magnificent house for boys. Then, still on the left, half way between Mood Hall and the Women ' s Building, the Gymnasium that will be a gem in two senses. Completing the view on the left will be the Women ' s Building, whose great proportions and homelikeness give dignity and effective- ness to inharmonious architecture. Coming back now to our arch and looking to the right we see, first, the University itself, that noble edifice that no new structure will cast into the shade. Then the Y. M. C. A. Hall, the center of a mighty influence for good, offering comfort and recreation, and at the same time furnishing a great spirit- ual stimulus. Then further on and completing the view to the right, a beautiful and substantial home for the Co-ops. The beautiful driveway running through the midst of these great buildings will be lined on either side by shade trees, while the grounds in every direction will be completed by grass, smooth and well kept, interspersed by flowers and by trees whose shade wooes a man to loaf and invite my soul. This is a dream now, but dreams have a way of concret- ing themselves, and movements are already on foot to bring this one to pass. 16
