Jlumni memorial CAapel The long-planned Alumni Memorial Chapel is being built on the campus during the Spring of 1960 and should be ready for dedication in the Fall, possibly at Homecoming. The project was originally planned as a memorial to the dead of two world wars and the Korean eonHiet. Gifts in memory of numerous other former students, faculty, and friends of the University have expanded the meaning of the edifice, however, and it will now be dedicated to llthe war dead and other former students and friends of the University? The names of individuals memorialized will be carved on huge wooden retablos which will be the only decoration on the massive interior walls. All the war dead will be included, whether or not special gifts have been made in their names. Plans for the Chapel were designed by John Gaw Meem in 1948 and a revision of his original conception is being erected. The style is Franciscan, following the old mission at Aeoma. Much carved and painted woodwork will be used on the interior, including great Vigas, traditional corbels, and railings in the traditional mission style. Both architect and builder conceive the chapel to be a master-work and it should be one of the most beautiful buildings on campus. Seating about 125, it will be open at all times for prayer and meditation, and will be available for special ceremonies of all faiths, including weddings. baptisms, memorial services, and sacred concerts.
