The report of Walter F. Dillingham;
chairman of the Building Committe
OF the Board of Trustees. was thel
read. 1t WIS as follows:
Alumni, undergraduates and friends
one of the charms of an old establish
ed institution of learning is the build

tlons and recollections which are treas

always to be regretted when building,
which have formed the early home OF
a college pass their time of usefulness
put especially to be regretted wher
they have to be done away with en-.
| tirely to make room for newer and
more commodious quarters. But few
of the original buildings of Puma
hou now remain and the time has
come when it is necessary in the
| growth and development of the col
! lege to tear these away and erect
larger halls to take their place While
| 1t Is with regret that the old buildings
are torn away, it is with pride and
satisfaction that we see the institu-
ton which means so much 10 us all
grow in strength and numbers and
with the development of the Stands
maintain It's position of the first insti-
tuition of learning in the Territory.
For over year it has been more
and more apparent that extensive
changes we're necessary to meet the
nd fn,
both in the school and boarding depart
ments. Much thought and study has
been given to the situation with the
result that we are now prepared to
put before you both 4 general and
detailed plan for building impro, e.
ments.
The present quarters for the teach
ers and boarding scholars are most un-
satisfactory as we'll as far too limited
for the number of applicants. The
school department has been crowded
into Pauahi, Science and Charles r.
Bishop halls against the best interests
of the institution. To meet these two
great difficulties it has been decided to
erect buildings for the boarding depart
ment and to so remodel Bingham hall
as to furnish new recitation and lecture
rooms for the S, hool department.
THE new dormitor'es and refectory
building will accommodate not only
the present students but also provide
for the increasing numbers. This will
make it possible to do away with Rice.
Dole and College halls. which even
with the expensive cost of maintenance
have been far from satisfactory.
ha
ings could be constructed of stone or
brick or some other long lived mate
rial. Unfortunately by preliminary es-
innate the cost was found to be far
in excess of the resources of the cor
poration. The buildings which it is
now proposed to build are three in
number and are TO be construc ed of
wood /
THE plans, which are based on the
requirements as carefully presented
by Mr.. Griffiths, were prepared by Mr..
o. G. Traphagen and provide for
boys dormitory, a girls dormitory and
refectory. The style of architecture

scheme.
THE buildings are to be located on

Bishop hall and the foot of Rocky Hill

I'D spring. The boys dormitory will

ory near Charles r. Bishop hall and

grounds will be terraced and the walks

entral feature.
THE dormitories are similar in out
ward appearance and as much alike

would petmit. The plans provide for
each 164 feet long, and 65 feet
