remaining part of the work will be given
out to a contractor.
The building as seen on this page will
be one of the prettiest on the University
campus. The cut does only bring out the
outlines giving an idea OF the size, shape
and style. 1t will be two stories with i
small auditorium Joined on at the back
An idea OF the auditorium is gained by
observing small section OF it on the
left hand side of the picture. It will be
26x50 This of course will not be used
for large meetings but for the regular
weekly meetings of the association. Fold
ing chairs will be used here, SO this space
may be utilized along with the other part
of the building for receptions to new stu
dents, or to the alumni OF Chapel Hill,
o. to the alumni and friends during com
mencement.
AS one enters at the front he finds on
the left side a small office, 8x10, which
may be used for cloak room. Opposite
this across the passage is the stairway.
In the center of the building is CORR
dor, 26x30, beginning on the first floor,
gong through the second and running
up 10 dome. There also will be four
spacious rooms, 1920 These rooms will
be used for parlor. game room, reading
room and social room.
The five rooms on the second floor with
the exception Ola room for the secretary,
Will be utilized rs class rooms for the
growing Bible classes which the asso-
citation is directing.
A thus seen the building will serve as
a center of University life. Interesting
games, in fact all means oil healthful rec
reation for student life will be placed IN
these rooms so the home element in the
students life may be thus supplied. one
room will be used as the headquarters
for the University Magazine, and the Tar
Heel. The headquarters of the Press AS
scciatlon and several other such organlZa-
ticns will be in the Y NJ. G.. A. Building.
The location of the building will be
about twenty feet south of a line between
the chapel and south building, easily ac-
cessible to all the students.
The work Just begun will be pushed
until the building is completed. AS was
stated in the beginning the fund for the
building now amounts to about $4,000,
incst of this still being in unsolicited
notes. Most of these notes are payable
in four instalnents of six months each.
M E. Mcdonald, Jr., '06 is giving much
OF his time in attending to the collection
of these notes and it is hoped that those
who have subscribed will be prompt in
renting, so the building may be pushed
to completion. About $4,000 is stin
needed after the present subscrif cons
have been collected. The student body
and faculty with probably give most of
this but as there are many alumni and
friends of this building movement who
have not yet had chance to contribute.
1T is hoped that these may be induced
now to help.
