building will be a fireproof structure containing two hundred rooms and situated on the southeast extremity ofthe campus where it will overlook both views of the lake. Our next need is a dining hall which will accommodate three hundred students, having a smaller dining room for small suppers and social parlors for the social purposes ofthe College. Woods Hall, our present dining hall, could be enlarged and made to answer this purpose for an expense of 5l525,ooo. Such would add a great deal to the spirit of the institution. The Student Association, while not the largest, is one of the most eflicient in the country. lt is unique in that it embraces all student activities. lt carries a budget of over 3E3o,ooo. For its work to really grow it should have a building of its owng which would contain social parlors, rooms for the various student activ- ities, including committee rooms for the thirteen diflierent depart- ments. Such a building is possible for the cost of SB4o,ooo. lt would be propitious, at the time of the initiation of the four year course and the incoming of biology, to have the science lab- oratories housed in a science building. ln this building physical, chemical, physiological, biological, and histological laboratories could be housed to advantage. Then, too, special provision for our growing collection of natural science could be arranged for in this building. The great need of the Physical Department is for the comple- tion of the gymnasium tower. This would serve three purposes: CID It would give an opportunity for the collection of an historical museum of physical training, Czj it would give an opportunity for historical collection of apparatus, and Cgj it would give ample space for the instruction in medical gymnastics mentioned above. A chapel suitable for public gatherings, religious services, dra- matics, and lectures should be added to grace our campus. Six of the Faculty homes, at least, would add a great deal socially to the institution. Our last need is for a larger endowment. The collegiate standard is 354,000 per student enrolled invested in prop- erty and buildings. If such were true with us our endowment would be approximately 31,1o4,ooo. At present it is 'CliI32,6O0 and so you see that there is room for improvement. Let us look forward with hope for such a betterment of this institution as has been above suggested. 20
