It is not likely that vacation quiet will take posses sion of the Davidson campus this Bummer. As already noted very ma terial additions are to be made to th college "plant.'' Work Is progressing well on what will be known as the "Georgia" dormitory, and the building can easily be finished before the open ing of the fall term. The Carnegie library building, funds for which have been secured, will he started Imme diately after commencement The building Is to be located on the spot where now stands the old Steward' Hall. As this latter Is occupied as n roardlng house and residence it is Impracticable to remove It till th close of the term. Through the liber ality of a generous friend of the col lege, there are enough funds In hand to begin laying pipe for the sewerage Wednesday system for the college. It Is hoped to have the pipes laid and most of the work done by commencement. The completion of the system may be de layed till more funds are In hand? A eptlc tank will be built where the ewer pipes discharge, several hun dred yards northeast of the power house.
