q building program is no longer mat
ter OF conjecture, but the exact nature
of the campaign and toward what end
1t will be directed is still open t. ques-
ton. This matter will be definitely
settled by the trustees Of the institu-
ton. who will meet In a special meet
Ing on Tuesday of next week. Mean
while. committee of three, L. J. Has
ktns. e. M. Corbett and Walter Torbet,
working with President A. E.. Craig,
will look over the situation and submit,
some recommendations to the general
meet ng.
There are about three plans which
will be considered by the committee.
One IL TO restore the old building on
the same plan and foundation. With
the insurance money, this could be
done without much difficulty. This,
however, does not find much favor with
the president, who has plars for a
more ambitious scheme
Another suggestion that will be con-
sidere: is to rebuild the old building
with Its same dimensions, but to use
the entire chapel space for the library.
The soci.ty halls, classrooms and the
Offices Ut administration woul.. in tina:
case, find themselves In relatively the
same position as under the old roof.
II that is done, another structure would
be bullt exclusively for the chapel This
plan has its advantages, bee ..use then
the old walls could be put 10 use with
out seri,us loss of money value. This Is
the same. in its general plan. rs The
one the president had in mind on his
return yesterday.
Three Buildings Discussed.
A third suggestion Is at present flnd-
ing favor with the influential members
of the board of trustees. 1t is to sub
stitute an entirely new scheme Of
buildings. to be followed out in detail
as it becomes possible 20 build them.
This. Of course, would necessitate the
tearing down Of the remains of the old
main hall and the reconstruction of at
least three buildings before school could
open In the fall, q class room building,
a chapel and library. This larger
scheme will probably gain the sane
ton of tho trustees II they can see
their way to the necessary money.
These three plans, and possibly 9TH
ers. will be carefully considered by the
committee and they will have come to
some conclusion on the matter before
the evening Of the general meeting OF
the trustees on Tuesday. It seems
probable that whatever recommenda-
toin this body submits to the board
will be adopted. However, the details
Of definite plans will not be worked
out by the board In it's meeting next
week The only purpose in calling them
is 10 gain their sanction on some gen.
eral plan. the details of which will be
determined by special committee.
