As the building operations at Delaware
College gradually approach completion,
the very marked improvement to result
becomes apparent. When the work is
done the old Dormitory, the original col
lege building, now nearly seventy years
standing, will have been converted into
ii handsome, substantial and convenient
modern structure, without any sacrifice
Of the characteristics that originally gave
it simple dignity and charm.
The original building was n cruciform
structure that had for its distinguished
feature dignified approach in the form
of a broad flight of exterior steps leading
to II high pilared portico in the Doric
style. The design has now been carried
out and completed by the addition to
zach wing of three-story structure par
allel to the main building. Each of these
additions is fronted with pavilion of
the same general style as the central por-
tico save that the outside steps are.
omitted. The result is Il building with a
frontage of nearly two hundred feet and
4 depth in the main structure, including
he approach, of nearly one hundred and
fifty feet, and an effect of three i'm
reSSive Dor'ic porticoes. The floor
pace is thus increased by eight thousand
uuare feet. The building will contain
nesides laboratories and recitation rooms,
oetween thirty-tve and forty sleeping
ooms for students. The new portion of
he structure will be occupied mainly by
laboratories, offices, the halls of the Lit
rary Societies, and Of the Young Mems
'hristian Association, and the quarters
If the Students Dining Club. The
sround floor of the addition to the east
wing, in dimensions seventy-two by
lhirty feet. will contain the biological
laboratory, occupying room twenty
light by twenty-five feet, and two large
he Photographic Laboratory with its
| lark room. and two large class-rooms
and on the third floor will be the quar-.
ters of the chronological Laboratory

Laboratory of the State Board Of
