Building Committee Decides on Plans
for Big University Structure

After numerous conferences the
building committee named sometime
ago to have charge of the building of
the Memorial Library at the Univer-
sity of Delaware, has arrived at a
definite decision as to the plans for
the building which is satisfactory to
all concerned. Day and klauder, ar
chitects of Philadelphia have been re-
quested by the committee to go ahead
with the preparation of the finished
plans, drawings and specifications so
as to have them in readiness when it
is decided to ask for bids and start
operations. There will be some delay
in starting the work because of build
ing material being so high. At pres
ent prices the committee has been adj
vised the kind Of building decided or
could not be built at this time with
the money available. 1t is felt by the
committe that there is a chance of
material coming down in price in q
short time and for that reason the
work is not to be started at once. AS
stated however, all preliminary details
will be gotten in shape so that there
will be no delay when prices do drop.
H. Rodney Sharp, has been acting
chairman Of the building committee in
the absence of Henry B. Thompson,
chairman Of the Board of Trustees of
the University, who returned only a
few days ago from a rip abroad Mr..
Sharp stated Monday that pledges of
contributions have been coming in fine
and that there is now about $4,000,
in hand Of the total of $4,000 pledg-
ed. 1t would be necessary, however,
to get more cash in than this, before
actual work could be started as S50,-
600 to 100000 is to be kept out as an
endowment and $4,000 will 90 for
new books. This would leave about
$230,000 for the building, but at pres
ent prices it could not, in the opinion
of those interested, be built for that
