DEDICATION OF THE NEW AUDITORIUM
The dedication of the new auditorium presented by Mr. and
Mrs, Charles M. Schwab took place at io A. M. Tuesday. Mr.
and Mrs. Schwab were unable to attend. Mr. Schwab was de
tained in New York on business. They were represented by Dr.
N. H. Ward, Schwab’s brother-in-law, who made the presentation
speech, W. B. Dixon, second vice-president of the United States
Steel Company, and C. W. Baker, New York representative of
the Steel Company. Mr. Schwab sent a letter of regret, in which
he said he expected to be at the college at an early date.
During the dedication exercises, Mr. Hazelhurst, architect of
the auditorium, was presented on the stage. Mr. Alexander, who
had charge of the building operations, was singled out of the
audience and his work praised. Mr. Pattison and Johnnie Cor
rigan also came in for a share of the praise for their part of the
work of putting up the building.
Dr. Ward, in his speech at the dedication said: “The great cor
porations are earnestly searching for young men who can do
things.” “There is nothing unusual in the career of Mr. Schwab.
It is perfectly natural that he should be where he is. Pie has won
his present place strictly on his merits.”
