Recently friend of Statesville
Female College told DR.. Scott,
the president, that he would build
music hall and auditorium for
the institution, TO cost not less
than 5000, if the friends of the
college would raise $4,000 to pay
the mortgage debt on the present
building. At recent meeting of
Concord Presbytery in Statesville
DR.. Scott laid the matter before
the Presbytery, and committee
was appointed to formulate plans
to raise the money to pay off the
mortgage. The committee is
composed of Rev. G. M. Richards,
Statewide, chairman; Rev. Geo.
II. Cornelison. of Concord; Rev.
J. H. Grey, of Salisbury Rev. W
G. Brown, pastor of Concord
church, Iredell, and J. II. Hill, of
Statesville. This committee will
meet in Statesville next Tuesday
to take action. It is understood
that steps will be taken to organ
ize Statesvllle College Leangues,
the leagues to be composed of per-
sons who will agree to pay a def
mite sum annually for series of
years. the money thus contributed
to be used in extlnguishing the
college debt. Meantime DR.. Scott
has not been idle in presenting the
matter to persons whom he had
reason to believe would contribute
for the purpose named, and with
in the past few days he has re-
ceived two contributions, one Of
$500 and one of $3.50, both these
coming from friends of the COL
lege who live at a distance. Un-
der the administration of DR..
Scott, which has been a most sue
cessful one, the college has out
grown it's present equipment.
The hall formerly used as an audi
torium has been utilized for dor
mitories and the college now has
no place large enough to accomo-
date visitors at commencements
and on other public occasions.
The proposed music hall and audi
forum, therefore, is very much
needed, and it will not only be a
valuable addition to the college
