South Temple, Has Been Secured
To Proceed With Plans at Once.

For long time the Latter-day
Saints university has felt the need OF
an up-to-date gymnasium building as
the one now In use is much too small
to accommodate the upwards of 1900
students now In attendance. The
Church schools at Provo and Logan
have commodious and wcl3 equipfe1
gymnasiums, in which they Ci9e -
course Of physical training. The i'm
portance OF such training is realized
more and more by all educators. These
schools have room sufficient to invite
other schools to meet them in friendly
contest in athletic games. To recipro-
cato the Latter-day Saints university
is under the necessity of hiring other
halls. The students of this institu
tion have been very DESTROYS of hav-
ing gymnasium large enough for
their needs, and have almost demand
cd it.
The Young Mems Mutual Improve
ment associations are in need of a
building where they can have their
offices. library. reading room. etc. and
where they can receive visiting Of
ficers and members from the various
organizations OF the different stakes.
These organizations have a large mem
bership, and the general board consider
the time has come for doing something
in this direction.
SITE IS SECURED.
A Joint committee from the Latter
day Saints university and the Young
Mems Mutual Improvement associa-
tons waited on the First Presidency
and asked that a parcel of land 30 feet
wide. or so much thereof as may be
necessary, extending from South Tenn
pie to Temple avenue, along College
avenue, be set apart for the erection
Of these buildings. which request was
granted
$4,000 STARTER.
When the members of the board of
the Young Mems Mutual Improvement
associations learned this last night at
their meeting IL created much enthu-
siasm and several large amounts were
subscribed towards the erection of
such building. The board passed a
resolution to pay $4,000 towards the
Latter day Saints university gym
nasium building, IN order that the
members of the Young Mems Mutual
Improvement associations may have
the privilege OF using IL.
FRONT ON SOUTH TEMPLE.
The Intention is to have the Young
Mems building front ON South Temple,
and the gymnasium building immedi-
ately north of it, thus giving them
an easy access to 1t. 1t will likewise
be In easy reach OF the members OF
the Young Ladies' Mutual Improve
ment associations as well as the stu
dents of the Latter-day Saints univer-
stY.
TO PROCEED AT ONCE.
Committees on plans and arrange
ments will be appointed Immediately,
and the feeling of those present at the
board meeting above referred to was
