But in the editorial ! column of the "Furman Hornet," ! published by the students of Furman University, Greenville, S. C, we find : a new cause for a wonderfully fav orable result. It seems that Furman ; was unusually successful throughout I ner football season, culminating it in I a victory over Clemson for the first I time in all history, about which ! season and victory "The Furman Hornet" has to say under the title "Billy Laval": "The most solemn, grand, and noble words ever uttered by a foot ball coach to an eleven were those oi iiiiy Laval to his men in the dressing room immediately before tne game last Saturday. Departing from his usual method of explaining ture for in the past, and is occasion ed by the fact that the improvement of the physical plant of the Uni versity has not nearly kept pace with its rapid growth during the past de cade. DORMITORIES For dormitory space for men $1,530,000 is asked. It is expected that within the five year period the N University will be called upon to take care of at least 1,275 more men students than can at present be taken care of by the dormitories and out in town. The probable increase of rooming space in the town has been cost $1,200 per man to provide the 3ort of dormitories that it must have. A prominent member of the Board of Trustees of the University of South Carolina recently made the statement that the student body of the University of South Carolina would not live under the disreput able conditions that exist here. The new dormitories are to be. of the most improved construction with all the modern conveniences. The item of housing men alone c.lls for far above one-fifth of the total building program cost. For a women's build ing $200,000 is called for. It will contain dormitory, dining hall, study and reception rooms for one hundred and twenty-five students. Up until the present time the University has made positively no provision for the proper housing of the increasing number of women students applying for admission to the upper classes and professional schools. The forty seven women students that are at tending this year are living in the village, and the University only con tributes lectures and the use of the Library. And to furnish the dormi tories $75,000 is needed. DINING HALL One half a million dollars is need ed to provide the facilities for feed ing the 1,725 students that will be here at the end of the five years and which cannot be taken care of, because the 1,275 others who will also be- here at that time will be ent njr at Swain Hall and at the pri vate boarding houses of the town. This means that the University must quadruple capacity of Swain Hall dining room, kitchens ,1ut,:, .... frigerators, bakery, storage, etc' LAW BUILDING v jjoparttnont of Law $150.- tl 'A V t A hta rvinn -ii',., I, 0 t I.
