To Be Completed
By September, 1955
During the current academic
year, two major additions will be
made to the campus: a Student
Union and an addition to Founders
housing a new dining hall and a
college infirmary. In addition to
these, there will be other smaller
projects, and it is planned that by
September 15, 1955, these projects
will have reached completion.
The Student Union, which is to
be located on West Campus just
behind Mary Hobbs Hall, is being
built by a drive of the Greensboro
Advisory Board to Guilford Col
lege. They are raising $150,000 to
build the new Student Union and
to establish a SIOO,OOO permanent
endowment fund for scholarships
for Greensboro students. The floor
plans and a description of the Stu
dent Union are on page 3.
The second project, which in
cludes the Founders Hall addition,
is a $128,000 drive by the alumni,
former students, and friends of the
college. This amount is being rais
ed by the fifty-five organized uniis
—the Over-50-Year Group, the fif
ty graduated classes, and the four
undergraduate classes which
comprise some four thousand Guil
fordians. Each of these fifty-five
groups is being encouraged to se
lect a special project for promo
tion, with which the class name
will be permanently identified.
To be included in this second
project are a number of separate
projects. The most important, or
at least affecting the greatest num
ber of students, is the construction
of a new dining hall. It will be in
'he location of the present facility,
but will be over twice the size and
will be greatly modernized. Also
included in the dining hall project
will be a complete remodeling of
the kitchen.
On the second floor, above the
new dining hall, will be a small
