Fifty-stx THE XAVERIAN NEWS The FutUre St. Xavier College A definite and comprehensive plan has been adopted for the development of St. Xavier College. The three build- ings now erected; namely, Hinkle Hall Uhe Administra- tion Buildingi, Alumni Science Hall and the Club House. are only the beginnings. First in importance is the Domi- tory, with other Dormitories to come later, and, with the initial Dormitory. to accommodate 4'00 'out-of-town stu- dents. Then the College Chapel, with seating room for LOOO. With this must come the Arts Building, to be de- voted to recitation purposes, and receivethe Arts classes now temporarily housed in the Alumni Science Hall. The College Library Building is to be erected in the open space between Hinkle Hall and Alumni Science Hall. The Chapel is to be on the north side of Hinkle Hall. and be- yond that. ion the northeast corner of the property, a large Normal gehool. The site of the Arts Building is just south of Alumni Science Hall andl beyond the private road. A large gymnasium is to be erected on the west side of the Campus in the depression of the hill, and with entrances both from the Campus and from Winding Way. The north- west corner of the prOperty, on Marion avenue and Wind- ing Way, is waiting for the new St. Xavier High School. which is to have accommodations for a thousand pupils. A central heating plant, situated on the lower ground of the property and at the northern end, will complete the plan as outlined. It may seem a wild dream, this list of buildings that are to round out the plans for the New St. Xavier College. for the cost of construction alone is a formidable sum, and with every new building comes an additional charge of mainte- nance. The grounds. too, have to be arranged and beauti- tied in order to become the splendid setting for the group of buildings, and the maintenance of the grounds will entail further considerable expense. But St. Xavier is devoted wholly and entirely to God. the Church and Country. and it can not be that the Catholics of Greater Cincinnati. whose pride this new College is to become, and for whose children in the future years the Jesuit Faculty will labor with all the zeal and devotedness that their predecessors have manifested during the greater part of a hundred years, will fail .to do what they can well do, and erect this monument to their sense and appreciation of Catholic education. In this outline of the future development of St. Xavier College there is no provision directly contemplated for the changing of the College into an university. For there are no day-courses of university grade, and it would be unseemly to claim to be what one is not. With the adventvof day- courses of university grade must come the question of a university charter, and possibly of a new name for the new university. Whether Xavier be the name of the new in- stitution or some other name be selected must be determined when the proper time comes. The name HFenwick Uni- versity meets with no slight approval, and it would seem a fitting thing that the name of the saintly Bishop who first established the institution should be the name that institution would hear in the fullness of its development. No other name could more clearly heraldlthe purpose he had in found-t ing the institution, and the purpose those who have suc- ceeded him have had continually before their eyesullPro Deo et pro Patria.
