Dear Sir: Knowing that you and the
readers OF your estimable paper are in
terested in educational institutions, |
want to write and tell you OF Spokane
College. A little over year ago when
my attention was first attracted to Spo-
kane College, the main building was
just completed. Some people have their
doubts about the first year of a school Il
had mine), but go many advantages
were offered by this college that I de-
cided to attend it. My trunk was packed
and september %, 1907, l boar led the
train at Troy, Idaho, and set forth on
my journey to Spokane. AS i
reached this beautiful city, thought
it still more beautiful when passed by
Manito Park and arrived at Spokane
College, situated up amongst the scented
pines, far from the din and noise of the
business section. The fragrant pines
naturally appealed to me since 1 came
from the forest-clad hills of Troy.
My first year of school was SO pleas
ant that came back this year, too.
That is the case with nearly all OF last
years students; they are all back
The main building is a large brick
structure of beautiful architecture with
! massive pillars at the main entrance.
Assembly hall, class rooms, and Offices
occupy the first and second floors. AT
present, the third floor is the girls dor
mitory. Dining room and kitchen are
+ in the basement. The building is heat
= ed by steam, and lighted by electricity
