Of the step. The executive committee
thoroughly discussed this phase OF the
question and decided that in case a
new building is erected, provisions
would be made TO locate a domestic
science department in it. Demand for
such a department has been growing
in recent years and it is believed that
1t would attract many young ladies to
the college

terday the executive committee
authorized the completion Of an add
tional room in the attic TO meet pres
eut needs. In addition TO the young
women now in the hall, il is estimated
that at least 100 who are now living
outside the school with private fam
lilies would seek accommodations in a
new dormi-ory.
The building now occupied by the
gills would be converted into a con-
scrvatory Of music. The conservatory
present has no building Of its own,
instruction being given IL the main
college building The result is often
times considerable annoyance for the
college department and The arrange
ment is not altogether satisfactory for
the conservatory. The present ladies'
hall would le an ideal building for
the conservatory department and
would provide a large number Of
practice rooms.
