NEW DORMITORY
Two New Trustees Were
Elected at Close of
Annual Meeting

| Trustees of Goddard seminary, who
met at the school yesterday for their
annual business meeting adjourned in
the late afternoon, having completed
their business with dispatch. Recon-
mendations for plan to increase mate
rally the accommodations for students,
which were embodied in Prin. O. X Hol-
listers annual report, were heartily en-
dorsed as against the suggestion that
Goddard advertise to the public that it
has attained the high-water mark Of its
growth. On the proposal that some of
the preliminary steps necessary before
a new dormitory can be erected be taken,
the trustees were unanimously favor
able. Indeed, it is a matter of record
that @the trustees are convinced that a
new dormitory is imperative" By a
unanimity of votes, too, it was resolved
that the school shall not be limited to its
present capacity.
Tentative plans for a girls dormitory,
to be erected, POSSIBLY, on the l04AS4
lot which the seminary owns on Mer-
chant street, await only the donation of
So, 600, the donor to have the privilege
of naming it in honor of someone or as
a memorial The trustees realize that
it is a pretty big "only," but it isn't an
insurmountable barrier, and there is
feeling of confidence that one or more
of Goddard's good friends viii come to
the aid of the school in the near future,
now that the consent of the trustees has
been obtained. According to the report
of the secretary treasurer, the finances
of the schools are in splendid condition.
The permanent fund of $4,000 is SUBJ
stantially invested, and with an in
creased donation and augmented revenue
therefrom, number of the larger bills
for the current year are reported paid.
Goddard's new alumni hall has dining
hall that viii accommodate l75 board
ing students, a capacity liberal enough
to care for considerable increase in
registration that might follow the cree
tion of a new dormitory for girls. A rel
atively small indebtedness on the new
alumni building can be wiped out by the
annual income from the school, it is
thought.
