PERFECTION OF KNAPP HALL.

Some of Berea's buildings, like
the Palace and Rookery, are only

Knapp Hall belongs to this highest
class of buildings. II will probably
be on the day Of its first occupancy,
the most perfect building for teach
ers' training in the world.
This does not mean that ii is the
largest building by any means, but
il means that all its points have
been studied out and made to con-
form to the structures which have
been best. Being the most recent
