ties. We now have rooms particularly suited for music. The orc hestra band, large chorus and glee clubs, as well as the large classes in mugig for the elementary education teachers, will have a room large sound , - proofed and acoustically correct for rehearsal and study. There are nine small cubicles for individual practice and two studios f teaching and rehearsals of small ensembles. Or private We will then be able to have our concerts in our own auditorium which includes a stage large enough for our proposed symphony Or- chestra as well as the college chorus and band. Ample storage space for instruments and music library has been provided. Leaving the Music Department you will want to visit the audi- torium unit. You will enter a spacious lobby with a box office, cloak rooms, and rest rooms adjacent. The Auditorium itself is up-to-date in every particular, splendidly equipped, artistically decorated, and capable of seating 600 persons. You will be able to see the stage from all corners of the audience for the Auditorium has a slanting floor and staggered seating arrangement. Mr. Sunderland, the architect, has worked out an excellent lighting system-subtle, indirect lighting for the Auditorium itself and an effective system for the stage, controlled from the projection room in the balcony. Behind the stage, you will see the stage workshop which is large enough to allow for construction and storing of stage sets, dressing rooms with running water g and wardrobes for costumes and properties. Danbury State Teachers College will be happy at last to have an auditorium large enough to accommodate the student body for assem- blies, concerts, plays, commencement, and all other activities which are such an integral part of college life. The second floor above the entrance of the Auditorium houses the Speech Department. The new quarters contain two classrooms, a projection booth and an office for the speech faculty. One of the out- standing features of this group of rooms is the several different func- tions they will perform. One of the classrooms is equipped for use as a studio for weekly radio rehearsals and broadcasts. The rooms are con- structed so that it is possible to have a very well equipped laboratotl' for all of our students, including those needing speech diagnOS1S, clinical help and audiometic testing. The projection lDOOfh houses the stage lighting panel and the broadcasting console. You have now completed a tour of the major units of our new building. We know you will rejoice with us knowing the college W111 have the facilities to do better those activities which were begun when we were at Danbury Teachers College. I 95
