To those who. are familiar with
conditions at the , College, it w'll be
irnmeaiately apparent that the Limll
ties for Such t lins of oeveioptuent
should be furnished upon the c
pus. Whilst it is',-true that th.
moralizing influences which ale f I
in large communities att. ptacti,

Oat the inducenfie?ts to' har

creations are also a

erection of institute

recreative pleasures in the
outside parties; hence the neces
for furnishingthem upon the L.
pus, to be controlled by wholes
Col'ege influence, and by
I mean, of course, to include Stu. ent

When it is 4Qnsidered that all tu

clases are to be provided Pin
suc h a huil c h r ig, the imn'lek,risitv of
the project begins to 'unfold itself
All class, musical, scientific,!ethic6l,
thamakic, at l / 4 1\t11C, and other
organizations must be provided fOr
A hall, with a fine slate seta g,

the training of dramatic acrd
organizatibns, although the acco

need;not necessarily be consider:
In the absence l of a 'gymnasium
all equal to th"e demands' for t
physical culture,of our student bod
it is difficult to divorce these nee
horn 'those which we are consid.
Ing; but, expecting, of course, th i
the gymnasium ,will finally be pt.!
vided, it is perhaps well to plan 0 11
for the facilities for the deVelopme

With this in, mind, I do not s,
how it is possiblu f,:ii. us to beg'
