Members of the Board of Directors
of the Georgia State Coll.ege for
Women held their usual spring meet
ing Friday morning in the office of
the President and transacted smeh
business matters as came before
them, adjoining without naming a
President or giving an inkling that
the matter had even been considered.
The Board while in session adopted
the budget that was presented by
Acting President Beeson and went
over other reports. They discussed
the election of the faculty for the
coming year. The buildings that arc
now under construction were in
spected by the board and special
interest was shown in the New Mc-
•norul Hospital.
Those present at the meeting were:
Judge R. B. Russell, Chairman, Hon.
M. S. Bell, Treasurer. Dr. E. A. Tig-
ncr Secretary, Hon. M. L. Duggan,
State School Superintendent and
Ex-officcio member, Judge John B.

•rial Erected By G. S. C. Alumnai
Perk.
The thoughts of the Alumnae of
the Georgia State Colege for Women
now turned to a program for
the dedication and presentation of
the beautiful new Memorial Hospital,
the ihrine erected to the memory and
life service of Dr. Marvin McTyere
Parks, who for twenty-one years serv
ed as President of the College.
The building occupying the high
est point or the campus is a most
beautiful structure, the style an-
arcitecture in keeping with the other
buildings on the campus, which were
designed by Dr. Parks. The Corin
thian columns and arched doors are
styles that were chosen by the late
President when he first erected a
building on the campus that began
the tremendous growth that the col
lege enjoyed under his guidance.
Alumnae from all parts of the
state had a part in the building,
contributing their share toward it*
erection. Miss Mary Brooks, Presi
dent of the association, and her com
mittees began their work about a
year ago and the spirit of co-opera
tion that was shown by people who
had known Dr. Parks and the great
work that he did soon brought the
task to completion.
The new building is modern in
every detail and is the first absolute
fire proof building that has ever
been erected in Miliedgeville. The
building is constructed of the
Interlocking Tile an invention of Mr.
Russell Bone that has recently been
perfected and patented. The
tile is stronger and is one of the
greatest improvements that has been
introduced into the clay industry.
McMillan Brick face the new build
ing. These two products of Bald
win county are the finest that can
be found anywhere. Every building
on the campus is constructed with
McMillan brick.
The new building foajng Mont
gomery street will be dedicuted and
presented to the College during the
commencement in June.
