With the exception of the church, which is
o form the left corner OF the quadrangle,
he Alumni Memorial hall occupying the
Rood house corner. The style of the build
ng will be purely classical, OF the Ionic

pack of which, in the center, rises the {
lone. The materials to be used will be I
ream brick and marble, or marble and j
granite. The Memorial hall will contain
he administrative quarters, such as the
,ffices of the president, dean and other ,
college officials. The Butterfield museum,
n the center of the group, will be struc-
ure 145x55 feet, built Of cream white brick

,he quadrangle completed in three years.
The plan, when developed, will give Dart
mouth significant place among Ameri-
can colleges as regards the style OF its

utility as well as for their architectural
beauty.
