OF work I'm making arrangements and
preparations for its opening.
In this building are to be housed all OF
the various college organizations such as
the Musical club. the college magazines,
the Y. M c. A. etc. II will also contain
smoking rooms, a billiard and pool room
and other facilities for bringing the stu
dent body closer together and for devel-
oping their social and religious life

first intended so the $4,000 which was
raised for its endowment will not be
sufficient. Accordingly every member OF
the Brown union will'regularly be charg-
ed a fee of 81 annually

been decided that a fee Of 81 will be
charged Any student OF the college may
