BUILDINGS
AT TfilHin
Durham. Nov. 23.?The announo
cd plan of Benjamin N. Duke to
erect two new buildings on the
Trinity College Campus, one within
days a few days of the comple
tion, is soon to he followed by an
other, that instead of the twin ep
idemic and administrative buildings
there will be a rectangular group,
the second to begin in a few days.
At tho Trinity commencement of
1909. Mr. Duke authorized the an
nouncement that he would give $50,
000 for another building. An ade
quate housing of the students at
college was becoming dally more
difficult At the 1910* commencel
mem, Mr. Duke added $100,00? to
the Buildings at Trinity, this gift
being meant to cover the cost of
the second structure and the joint
ure of the two by a monumental
tower.
To erect both it became necessary
to tear down the old Washington
Duke main building. The d set ruc
tion of this venerated, though anti
quated building was to have begun
In a few days.
Xt was Impossible to take care
of students robbed of rooms In that
building and it was decided to erect
the dormitory.
The return of President Few, it
Is said, will settle this matter of
iwarding the contract and that the
work will begin at once.
The old Waahington Duke main
Dullding will not be torn iown un
:11 the commencement of 1911. It
will be used for administration and
itudeutB* classrooms. In the mean
imo the work upon the new dorml
ory, an unexpected gift of Mr. Duke
trill proceed to completion for the
tudents next fall.
To complete the group will cO<t
he great phianthroplst at least
250,000 making his and nls fam
ly'B gifts to the Institution ap
proach $1,500,000.
TIiIb imposing list of building# is
neant to give adequate housing for
he college students in whatever*
umber they come to college for a
ew years.
The buildings now in sight will
equire more than a year for com
pletion.
