PAGE FOURTEEN WHAT THE I PROPOSITION MEANS A Letter From General Beaver De- Picts the Necessity for Concerted Action by Students, F_culty, Alumn. and TTustees. My dear Doctor Sparks I am pleased to iearn that you ".are planning a campaign for the Social Hall." Dr. Atherton took up the question of a Social Hall several years ago. It was very fully discussed_ between us and some four or fiVe different plans were offered by aS many diffeient arcnitects, out the needs of such a building, or ra -- r institution; but the amount of m'otiy involved in caprying out any of the plans was such that it seen*d to be next to a hopeless task.; We were planning then' for an ac- odation of from 300 to 500 1 .flts. We must plan now for ;actually on the campus, or at enrolled for the year, of be -1 1400 and 1500, facing a cer• taint ) , of anywhere from 2500 to 3000, students during the next five yea 4. this makes the undertaking one of immense responsibility. corn stud men But, in my judgment, it cannot be undertaken any too soon, and we musti approach it with at least the probability' that it must depend very largely. if not entirely, upon the efforis_of the friends of the College. We Ican scarcely expect the state to appropriate money for this build ing dr series of buildings It is dif ficult to secure 'what is ,absolutely necefsary for the educatioinal needs of the' institution proper and it is, therefore, probable that what is needed for the social, ethical and recuperative lines of the develop ment of the student life and character must -be provided by the friends .of the college and of the student body: present and prospec tive. * & , ? , 0 1 b.7i ii.Ci l i i e IL sa clot r. 01. 1 Corislst e I Call &rid s , post : 4 oi- fo• you 1 , 1 1 ' 1 1 , ht; , 1 ;' )fl'int( poop' , ,-ri li .)1 "kV 1( 1, p 1 Q!3l ill 1 .
