ing will be modern in every detail
and will be built as a faculty apart
ment to be converted into a dormitory
when necessary. The plans on this
building have been completed and
everything is ready to start imrae-.
diately on the actual construction as
on as the money is received.
The plans for the second building,
which will be a health and physical
educational building, have been
drawn but Dr. Wells wanted a few
changes made and discussed these
with the architect this week. This
building will cost about $250,000 and
will be the finest of its kind in the
nation. The first floor will be given
to offices, lecture rooms, locker
►rooms and a large swimming pool.
The second and third floor will have
large gym room, sun rooms, lec

gym rooms will also be used for re
