BARNARD'S PROBLEM.

DAhNRhO y HhODLG W.
Barnard. of course, has peculiar
problem. Four-ffths of our students live
at their own homes in or near the city.
They have to spend their days at the col
lege, and this means we have TO provide
them with places TO rest and rooms TO
study in. At other colleges the girls can
work in their own rooms in the dormi-
tories. Even our dormitory, though, is
overcrowded We shall use part of that
wings called for in the original plans
About $4,000 will be put into a new
building, to be devoted to the physical
and social side of college life We need
. gymnasium and swimming pool. We
need offices and halls where the girls can
have lectures on hygiene, so vitally i'm
portant for those who are to be mothers,
teachers and leaders in social and philan-
thrOpic work for the community. The
new building will contain study rooms. so
that girls need no longer study on the
stairs for lack of room anywhere else.
1t will contain, also, an auditorium large
enough to seat the whole student body.
THE remainder of the 100000 must be
used for endowment Part of the income
should be applied 70 increasing the salary
of professors. II Barnard is to continue
10 have on its faculty men Of the highest
ability Il must pay them salaries on which
they can support their families without
Independent means or grave sacrifices.

number. also, and additional courses Of
fered to enrich the present curriculum.
People often say: on. / don't want 70

American colleges care more for build
lngs than for students. Barnard's an
swer TO that Is: Come and see We in
