The new chapel which stands at the
northeast corner of the home campus,
is a beautiful structure of brick with
etone trimmings. The exterior is much
like that of q modern church, for indeed
while the building is intended for an

primarily a place of worship. There are
entrances from two corners of the front
The auditorium is large. AT the rear
gallery runs around three sides and
will accommodate comfortably several
hundred people. The main floor of the
auditorium slopes toward the front and
is seated with opera chairs. Large au-
diences can thus be accommodated.
Perhaps the feature of the interior
would be difficult to determins. for the
very large stage and the organ pre-
sented by Ex-Governor Larrabee divide
hoEors one with the other. The plat
form is twenty eight feet deep and is
considerably longer than It is deep.
IT is under a massive arch that swings
in one great semi-circle over the heads
OF the speakers as they stand on the

decorated in keeping with the interior
