of existing buildings, contours at
one foot intervals, curbs, side
walks, sewer locations, position
and size of water pipes, and varl-
Gus other special features when
exist on the property. The Col
lege already had several surveys,
all of which were in great meas
ure fragmentary, but in order to
get at comprehensive study OF de-
velopments it was necessary to
have a new survey made the ORR
ginal and copies are on file at the
College office.)
The architects have given con-
siderable thought to the arrange
ment of the proposed Science
Building. In the main the plan of
the building is that authorized by
the board at its last meeting, how
ever, the interior arrangements
have been slightly modified to
meet the wishes of the different
professors, who will occupy space
in this new building. The working
drawings and specifications will
be completed shortly, and it is ex-
pected that the building will be far
enough along by commencement
time to lay the cornerstone. With
this in view we should give
thought to a suitable name for this
building.
, Voicing the opinion of the
alumni and many friends of Della
ware College the following reso-
, luton is offered, subject to the ap-
, prevail of the Board of Trustees.
: Resolve that the Science Build
ing for Delaware College be called
= Wolf Hall in honor of Professor
Theodore R. Wolf, Phi. D., 1871 to
r 1909.
Your Committee in order to
, have a preliminary estimate of
cost of remodeling the old dormi-
tory building has prepared a set
of plans embodying rooms suitable
!. for the various social activities of
the undergraduates After a most
} careful survey of the building, we
= quote the following report made
by the engineers:
Except the old walls and foun-
dation there is little or nothing OF
the old building that is of any
value. These walls are very light
=, in weight and if they were to be
built at this time for this type of
: building they would be increased
by an average of at least 40 per
cent. In rebuilding this structure
5 we propose using the old walls and
foundations; all other parts of the
structure to be new. AS these
walls are light, even for the floors
= which they now support, we wou!c
support the new fireproof floors or
. series of columns (not only
' between walls, but along the walls
II themselves), which columns woul'
, be secured 20 walls with anchor
- bolts. This rr' ncipla of construc
=, ton we believe to be most prattic
y able method of rebuilding tn!
- structure.
q To reconstruct the old building
! using the old walls, foundations

= a new kitchen wing would cost ap
# proximately $4,000. These fl
At cures are necessarily approximate
