and pne-half miles west of tie cam
pus, i40 acres of land decided in
time gone by, by the town of Chick
asha. 1t is so far removed from the
other buildings that we consider it
not practical for any use of the col
lege. We find adjoining the college
a tract of land consisting Of twenty
acres which would be very valua-
BILE addition to the grounds Of said
college. We find that Mr. Ben John
son, president of the First Nationai
Bank of Chickasha, is willing to
trade to the state the aforesaid men.
toned narrow strip of land on which
is situated the power plant and the
twenty acre tract more or less that
would add so much to the grounds
for the l40 acres now owned by the
state, and we believe the exchange
would be a good one and recommend
that the same be made.
We further find that every avail
able room is. now occupied by stu
dents ana there has been between
three and four hundred applications
rejected this season by the school.
The reports on file in the office bear
this statement out, and we believe
after careful investigation that they
need the following buildings:
A building to be known as the
fine arts building, 120 by 48 feet,
three stories which building would
accommodate the following branches
taught in the college:
Music, piano, voice, expression and
art.
Estimated approximate cost, $780,.
900.
One dormitory, 1870 by 4S feet,
which would accommodate 226 stu
dents.
We feel that this will help condi-
tions materially at present, but be-
lieve that according to the records
of the college that they still will be
hampered for room.
We further find from investigation
that the president of the college is
at present living within the college
building, he and wife and two chill
dren. We believe that a cottage
should be built of sufficient size to
accommodate the president family
We feel that it is not right to force
the president of this institution to
live in hampered rooms, as condi-
tions are at present, and feel that it
is only just and right that they
should live privately to themselves
in home built by the state.
There is urgently needed at the
present time some walks for the ac-
commodation of the young ladies
who are now attending and will in
the future attend the college.
We have come to the conclusion,
after a thorough, fair and unbiased
that the institution is
worthy of the consideration of the
senate.
