There is no building on the campus at present that will hold much over half of the student body and it is now impos sible for visitors and friends to at tend lectures, recitals and programs at the college. A city church audi torium has been pressed into ser vice this winter for such purposes. 2. A new heating and power plant. The present one has long been out grown is much overloaded.
