Remarks of President Frost Mrs Governor Julia
Miss Katherine Bowersox Honorable Jackson Morris,
Prof. Francis O.

Kentucky Hall was occupied by
young lady students at the begin
ming of the term, although the build
ing was not quite finished. The
heating apparatus has still to be in
stalled, the balustrades and the
stairs TO be finished and the door
knobs put on. Besides this, the fur
niture has still TO be installed in the
public rooms.
But the building stands in its.com-
plete beauty. IL is of the colonial
type Of architecture and is designed
TO accommodate one hundred young
women. On each floor there is a
parlor with fireplace which will be
the social center for the girls living
in that story. Each floor has also
its bath room with hot and cold
water and shower baths. There is
an elevator for trunks and abund-
ant place for stdkage Of trunks in the
attic.
Each room has two small closets,
two cot beds, two small study tables,
book shelves and a dresser and glass,
making perfect conditions for the
study and life of the student girls.
This building belongs TO the young
women Of the Vocational Depart
ment. Because of the great crowd
of students the upper story will be
occupied by Academy girls for the
present.
In the basement Of this building
are two dining-rooms, each capable
Of holding two hundred boarders, so
that students of the Vocational De-
partment will come from other dor
mitories TO this place for their meals
