EXTENSIVE PLANS FOR
JAMESTOWN COLLEGE
TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS ARE
HAvIN GWoRK DONE BY AN
ARCHITECTURAL. EXPERT.

jamestown, NJ. D., Jan. 1O.-The
trustees and officers Of the jamestown
College have by this time secured in
formation sufficient to warrant them
in anticipating the actual beginning
Of the work OF developing jamestown
College into an institution Of learning
that will be a credit to the state and
q monument of pride to the city where
1t is located.
\ Recently, In order to get a gener-
al outline or plan for the erection of
future buildings, and for the laying
out OF campus, and defining certain
other college accessories a well known
land scape gardener of Minneapolis,
Frank J. Nutter, visited the coll
lege grounds and spent some time in
the study of the situation. He has
since sent to the trustees compre-
hensive sketch of a plan for college
campus and buildings, such as the
needs Of the future institution win
undoubtly require. The plan is
now bling still further elaborated,
and drawn out In detail by Mr.. Nut
ter, and IL is expected TO be received
in short time by the trustees.
Briefly the plans for college devel-
opment contemplate series Of four
structures, facing the south, on the
edge OF the elevation above the city,
and in line with the present college
building. North OF this row OF struc-
lures will be large rectangle, laid
off into grass plots, divided by walks
and containing grass, trees and
shrubbery. Surrounding the rectangle
win be buildings for various college
purposes, including boys dorni-
tory, gymnasium, science hall, a
heating and power plant, and locat-
ed somewhat to the east, the presi-
dents residence.
The row OF buildings in front of
the rectangle, facing the city, will
consist, in addition to the present
structure, Of main builing, q lad
les dormitory and music hall. Roads
and walks will be laid out between
the main building and the rectangle
and campus; two driveways or APP
proaches to the group Of buildings
having already been laid out. The
present public highway, leading north
on the western edge of the college
grounds, will unite with the road
ways running from and around the
college building and thus give third
access to the athletic field and the
college grounds.
The scope of these proposed i'm
provements is liberal and up-to-date
and the present plans Of the trus-
tees and the officers point to an i'm
stitution OF learning. with an equip
ment second to none In the north
west.
The plans for these improvements
will be more fully outlined as they
are perfected, but at present it is
worth again reminding the people
Of jamestown that a cordial co-op-
GRAFTON and steady support Is re-
CURED to sustain our part of the
splendid prospectus for the James
town College, which Is being pre-
pared by the trustees. the officers
of the college, and others interested.
From present indications and from
the results of work already done in
behalf OF the institution in the way
Of securing financial support, 1t is
safe to predict that the results will
be surprising and extremely crafty
ing to all concerned. The compre-
hensive purpose of this institution will
be well worth the best efforts and de-
termination of every resident of this
city to see realized.
