SEVENTEEN REASONS
Why the EdentOn Street Property liz
Not the Place for the ". c. Buptts,

Why the Edenton Street Property is
Not the Place for the n. c. Buptts,
University.
1st. The lot is not one half large
enough.
I'd. After suitable buildings are erect
ed there would be no grounds left for
recreation.
Sd. The main front faces ether peo-
ples back yards.
4th. The brick building now on the
lot is not suitable for school purposes.
9Th. 1t could be made suitable only
at large cost
9TH. Then it would still have the ap-
pearance of a remodelled dwelling
house.
18th. It would have none of the beau
ty OF school architecture.
Sth. A wood building weuld ~ &c no
service for State University
9th. The University buildings, 81 ac-
count of the small size lot, woui be too
near the street
10th. There would not be p ~
enough about the location for q female
school.
11th. 1t would be the only female col
lege III North Carolinr, not surrounded
by large grounds.
18th. The Baptists d. nos want to
commence cheap.
18th. They do not want to commence
soon, if that means to commence wrong
14th. They want to "be sure they are
right and then go ahead"
10Th. Money expended on old bnild-
ings would be wasted.
10Th. When man sends his daughter
to school he does not want her cooped
up like chicken in crate

hood in North Carolina viii not sane
tion their University crowded on small
