An ~riuin-Chapel-Religious Edu cation Building lias been also pro- I posed and will be large enough to ■ provide for the College and the : community it is planned to seat i NOO to 1,000. Included will be a • modern stage with lighting equip , ment, ade(|natc space backstage for i scene-building and an amplification i system.

In the reconstruction of this building, consideration should be given to the adequate housing of the col leges extremely valuable scientific collections. As the development of the cam pus progresses, it becomes increas ingly evident that the playing fields should be located just east of the gymnasium and should prov ide for both intramural and intercollegiate games. Experience has indicated that the Guilford students and alumni greatly prefer to have all home games played on the campus. Adequate seating and parking are being planned and will be part of the current Development Program. Plans have been made to iin | prove the entire lake area at Cuil | ford College especially the west j shore and the bathing beach. The j area north of the gymnasium has i been chosen as an outdoor social I recreational center. Just north of the John Gurne\ I'Yaxier Houses, six new units are to be constructed. These units are to be built primarily to house facul ty families. As the new buildings are eom j pleted, all essential walks will be j laid and also, additions to, and j extensions of, the central heating j plant w ill be made as progress advances.
