Housing seventy girls, Melrose was built in 1925, at the same time that Gano chapel was under construction. Supervised by the College, this residence hall is operated under almost the same plan as is the hall for men. Chapter rooms for Beta Sigma Omicron and TNT sororities are located on the second HOOI, and the Young Women's Auxiliary has a meeting room in the same corridor. A registered nurse lives in Melrose Hall. She is responsible for supervision of the inhrmaries at New Ely and at Melrose. Made necessary by the admittance of women students to the College, Melrose Hall is indeed a modern dormitory. Completion ofthe new wing in this last summer has made possible the accommodating of half a dozen more girls. This building is situated farther from the center of the campus than is any other campus building. Directly across the drive from the Hall is the home ofthe President, the dormitory grounds separated from the Presidents rose garden only by this graveled drive. Visible from Melrose are only the tops of other campus buildings. The grounds surrounding the building are attractively landscaped and iris borders the long row of steps th21tl621QlS toward town.
