FINE NEW GYMNASIUM
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Gustavus Adolphus College To Have
Finest Gym In Northwest; Cor
nerstone Laid Sunday.

The corner stone OF the new gym
nasium now under construction at
Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter
Mimi, was laid last Sunday after
noon. DR.. P. A. Mattson, formerly
president of the college and now
president of the Minnesota Confer
ence, performed the ceremony. Judge
G. r. Magney, Duluth, Mimi, former
ly mayor of that city, delivered the
address. The judge is a graduate of
Gustavus Adolphus College, class of
1903.
The fund for this gymnasium was
started in 1917 by subscription of
$4,000 from P. H. Nelson Of Duluth.
Two years ago the college students
and faculty subscribed $4,000. The
city of St. Peter, with a population
of 1000, recently subscribed $4,000
to the fund Alumni and friends
have added to this fund until now it
amounts to $4,000. The Minnesota
Conference is now engaged in a cam
paign for funds, and sufficient will
be appropriated from the fund to
complete the payment of the cost of
this building. When completed, it
will be one of the finest gymnasiums
in the Northwest.
