But her educational facilities though great, are not complete. One more building is greatly needed, that is, a Chapel for the Lucy Cobb Institute. While there are accommodations tor various professors and their classes, there are none, or at least none such as there ought to be, for the audi ences that assemble to witness the annual Commencement exercises. The Hall to which they are compelled to resort, was never designed for this use and is poorly adopted to it. It is therefore not a useless outlay that is called for but a needed expendi ture.
