S. C. W. auditorium, Feb. 7, includes almost every type of glee entertainment. Dr. Malcolm H. Dewey, in making out this program, endeavrored to make the bill as near like the suc cessful Europeon program as he could and yet not destroy the effects that could be obtained from fresher material. Thi« program is the result of weeks’ of work. The negro spirituals to be sung were made famous in England by the club, and they arc now one of the best parts of the repertoire. The classical numbers on the program sung by the entire club are wonderful for their effects, the club singing in perfect unison. On the whole the program of this tour is one of the best the dub has offered. It shows the experience gain ed from the European trip. Completed Thei Work.

THE DRIVE BEGAN THIS WEEK First Dirt For the New Building To Be Broken During Commencement. With plans completed for the erec tion of a Memorial hospital to the late Dr. M. M. Parks the Alumnae Association of the Georgia State Col lege for Women launched a drive toward raising funds for this project this week and expect to break the first dirt for the erection of this building in June during the com mencement season of the college. Miss Mary Brooks, president of the Association, mailed a letter to the Alumnae of the college last week telling of the plans of this me morial and asking co-operation. The building according to Miss Brooks will cost about $25,000, and will be a modern hospital in every detail. It will be built in keeping with the style of architecture that was used by Dr. Parks on the other buildings. The building committee has not de cided upon the location of the build ing but it is thought it will face on Montgomery street on the north side if the campus. Since the death of Dr. Parks the Alumnae has had under conaidera- ion a memorial and at one time it was thought a monument would be erected, but it is understood that the Georgin legislature will erect this monument to his memory. A bill will | be introduced to carry out this plan I by Representative McCluney, of this : county. i Several large donations have al lready been made to this fund and it is believed sufficient money will be raised within a few months to com plete this undertaking. The college has used nn infirmary „.i Clark street for several years nnd it was Dr. Parks’ desire to build a hospital on the campus and it was believed that this would be his next undertaking in the building program had he lived.
