Plans for New OoTmItory Not Yai
Completed Other College Notes.

The plans for the new domitory will
not be complete until the next meeting
of the building committee. However. the
more important features have already
been decided on, and II is possible TO get
a good idea of what the building will be
like.
As has been stated the style of the
dormitory will be In general like that
Of Hope. There will be three sections.
as In Hope. each separate from
the others. The two outer sections will
be made into suites. while the middle
division will contain only single rooms
On the frst floor the suites will consist
Of two rooms and a bath; on the other
floors these will consist OF three rooms
and a bath. Thus each suite will have
a private bath. In the middle section
there will be baths on the second or third
floors. II these plans are carried out
there will be 16 suites and ls single
rooms.
II is intended TO rent these rooms fur
nished. as In Maxey. 1t seems probable
that the entire building. which is to be
four stories high. and the furnishing.
will cost $4,000 This would make the
single rooms range about $50 to SITS.
while the suites would cost from $500 TO
$375
After the specifications have been den-
nitely agreed upon by the building COM
mittee. students will be allowed to sign
provisional contracts for the rooms.
1t Is hoped to have the dormitory ready
for occupancy by September 1st next. All
the modern improvements will be found
In the dormitory. The sanitation and
ventilation will be OF the best, and there
will be open fireplaces In all the rooms.
The building promises to be I'm every way
notable addition TO Browns equipment.
