these words: “A dining hall is
an integral part of any college

students and faculty come to be
physically nourished and to en
joy fellowship with one another.
It is our hope that this build
ing will serve many generations
of students and faculty at Bre

Dean of the College Grady

ness Manager of Brevard Col
lege, said that the new women’s
gym will include a regulation
size playing floor with seating
facilities for approximately 100
people. The gym wiU be used
for intramurals also.
The gym is expected to be
completed and ready for use
by second semester of I960.
Mr. Boshamer gave a large
amoumt of money for the con
struction of the present gym.
Part of the money in the
gift will go to pay a pledge
that was due this year on the
new classroom building, which
is scheduled for completion by
late June, 1969. It is expected
to be ready for use for the
1909 fail semester.
"Few colleges have been so
fortunate as to have such a man
as Mr. Boshamer. Our ed
ucational program wiU be neat
ly enchanoed and the camipus
beautified because of his gen-
erooity,” commented Dean
Grady Whicker, Dean of the
College.
Building Program
The new classroom building
and the gym is all part of a
vast building program that was
launched by the CoMege in 1960
by the Me President E. K. Mc-
Larty, Jr. Already completed in
this building program, which is
nearly accompl'ished, is Beam
Dorm, the Library, the Cafe
teria, the Science Building and
the Administration Building.
After the building of the class
room building the only consitruc-
tion left on the agenda will be
(the Student Union. There had
been some talk of converting the
old library into the new stud
ent union, said Mr. Hardin, but
this project has been ruled ouit.
The plan now being studied
calls for starting from scratch
and building the new Student
Union. The entire program is
scbeduled for completion by
1970.
