MaryvlIe College Opens another
Much Needed Building.
The steady growth of Maryvillc
College, has necessitated the
erection of five New Buildings
within the last eight years. The
Lamar Library; The Willard
House for the President; The
Fayerweather Annex with electric
light; The Power House and ex-
tensive heating with the supply of
water system; and now the Annex
to Baldwin Hall, furnishing Il
large Dining Room, and twenty.
four rooms for Young Ladies, have
been added in rapid succession.
The present attendance, 26O-70
students is considerably larger
than ever before at the same sea-
son of the year and is one result of
those engagements. A formal
opening of the New Dining Hall
took place on Saturday Sept 14,'95.
The Cooperative Boarding Club
had invited the Faculty and their
wives; the teachers and the
Treasurer and Secretary of the
College to dine with them. After
an ample and elegant repast an
hour and half was spent in listen
ing to several addresses. Prof. E.
b. Waller who is in Charge of the
Club, as Com. of the Faculty,
presided and called upon the sever
al speakers, introducing the ex.
err, ises with the following brief
statement of the past and present
condition of the Club:
'92-'93: Students work $3S7.98,
Cost $2133.O3, Average price per
week, 1.25 10 Largest No. of board
ers 70, No. of boarders in Sept. 30.
1884: Students work $679.S4

week lis, Largest No. of boarders
l79, No. of boarders in jSept12O.
.95 .,96: No. of boarders in Sept
l4O.
During the three years of the
existence of the Club $4,000, has
been credited to students for work
done for the club, including the
care of the cows. The total cost
has been $1,000. Members of the
club, in settling their bills, have
the satisfaction of knowing not on
ly that they are getting board at q
very low rate but that about 2096
of the o icy they pay in is credit
ed to their fellow students for
work.
Prof. Waller then called upon
the President of the College, to tell
how funds were raised for College
buildings. The President expressed
the high qualification all felt in the
occupancy of such beautiful room
and noble building. The way to
raise money was to have a good
cause, worthy of the contributions
of benevolent people.
Mary vile College had long beer
regarded as such an object by the
MODEST Christian Philanthropists
of America. 1t stood before the
world for a lofty idea. 1t had beer
called the poor mans College. II
offered good and equal advantages
to all. 1t welcomed alike all hui
man beings. Its nationality was it:
glory. Almost all its endOwments
had come on this account. 1t ex-
listed. wholly and only on thi:
foundation. Mr.. Thaw the largest
donor before Mr.. Fayerweather
had written that but for this he
should have felt absolved from any
especial interest in it. The Faculty
had all written in March 1888:
"That Maryville College was re-
scued from ruin placed on its feet
and owes its very existence to-day
with all its educational facilities in
alarge measure to the gifts made to
it on this well-k3own con dition.'
This lofty position has attracted
money and students in large
mea sure, and always will. The
President had presented this OBJ
ject and obtained, above all ex-
penses, precisely the two thousand
dollars designated by the Synod
