ACQUIRES MRS. BAKERS HOME

The Spokesman Review says: DR..
Stephen b. l.. PenrOse, president Of
Whitman college, writes that at the
annual meeting of the trustees Of
Whitman college, held at Walla Walla
last week, perhaps the most important
action taken was the decision to com
pIete the college campus by purchas-
ing the grounds and residence of Mrs.
D. S. Baker, who had offered them for
sale. He says: The house is a large
wood mansion of Is rooms, surrounded
by beautiful lawns and gardens, and is
one of the most attractive residences
of the city. The grounds include
nearly three acres, situated on
the west side Of the campus, immedi-
ately adjoining the Memorial building.
The place is surrounded on three
sides by college property, SO that IL
was inevitable that in time 1t should
become a part of the campus and com
plete the great quadrangle Of over 20
acres, around the outside of which the
college buildings will be erected The
plans for the future contemplate II
handsome brick and some structures
surrounding this spacious tract, three
on each side of the square. Already
two of these have been built upon the
south side, the Whitman memorial and
Billings hall, with ample room between
them for a great science hall, while
the north front has been blocked out
with Reynolds hall, leaving space for
large gymnasium and another dor
mitory for women.
Campus Is Valuable.
by the acquisition of the Baker
place the west front will be completed
