b. CENTENNIAL BUILDINGS.

President Hadley Speaks to the Western
Alumni Concerning the Plans-Future
of the Brick Row.
In his western trip President Had
| ley has told to the Yale alumni, par
/ ticularly those o. Cleveland, many
facts regarding the Bi-centennial
+ buildings which have hitherto been
4 unknown Perhaps the most unexpeet-
down of what remains Of the Old Row.
Concerning this and other Campus in
novations, President Hadley said:
II might say that these architects
We're so interested In the development
of Yale that they offered their services
for nothing in attending to the grades
and laying out OF the Campus. This
contemplates the taking out Of all the
old buildings. T. for one, hate to see
South Middle go, but my friend, Mr..
Winthrop suggests that we leave it I'M
til all the men who ronmed in 1t have
forgotten it. From this Campus it is
contemplated that place with an arch
should be opened in the lower part of
middle Of the Campus on the block be-
yond. On this block we have already
East and West Divinity Halls, and the
buildings connecting them. We have
White and Berkeley, and | suppose next
year we shall build the Fayerweather'
The society buildings at tn" corner Of
Wall and College streets will be inclAld-
ed in the general plan for an open new
Campus" of which the new Administra-
ton Building presented by the Misses
Stokes, will probably be the first con-
structed. BY supplanting the present
Treasury Building with this new struc-
ture the movement toward clearing the
present Campus of its obstructing
buildings will be commenced.
President Hadley also mentions new
University Club, which being more COM
modious and adapted to the purpose
than the present club, will become a
more democratic gathering place
For. the first time the magnitude of
the new Auditorium and something of
its details has been made public. This
building is intended to seat three thou
sand people and will have two galleries
besides the floor. The floor is level, the
Stage DbIDS SulllCltlltly GlSNd lSu SO tllul
people on the stage can be seen from all
parts of the floor. Seats on the floor are
to be movable.
In regard to the vestibule President
Hadley said:
"At the corner there will be a vesti-
bule with stairs at either end, stairs so
arranged that there will be passage on
a level from the first gallery of the
auditorium to the first gallery of the
dining hail..
He went on to say:
"The dining room as planned is a
room about so feet in width by 220 feet
in length That, If we can carry it
out, is good deal larger than Harvard !
Memorial Hall, and should fulfill the :
necessities of a university of 1000 stu
dents Anything smaller than that
would be short-sighted policy to try to
build at all. We must do one or two |
things, either not build or build for the |
future
This building Is to have large CEN
trail nave, extremely plain inside, and |
the outside Is to be of Indiana sand
stone Space will be left on the north |
for development Of serving rooms. On !
the south side there will be colonnade, |
while on the north, high Widowed !
kitchens and serving rooms will be To- |
Gated
New facts about moneys We're also |
brought out in the Presidents Cleve- |
land speech. 1t appears that about $3.50 |
900 of the 100000 contributed has been |
spent for the purchase of real estate, |
leaving only $150000 for beginning on
the building. For the Auditorium
s4O0, 900 is needed, and for the. Dining |
Hall $500, 900. President Hadley says,
sanguinely:
81 do not believe it will be probable
that Yale graduates, when Yale has
two centuries of her existence
will raise less than two millions of dol
lars"
