Dedicate Stadium Thanksgiving.
The Kenan Memorial Stadium
a towering concrete temple to
the God of the Gridiron, seat
ing more than 24,000 spectators,
is almost ready for use. The
two huge arcs of the seats face
the two sides of the field, each
section having a capacity of
12,000 "people.
This new stadium was made
possible by a fine gift of $275,
000 from William Rand Kenan,
Jr., railroad magnate and grad

class of 1894. , The stadium it
self is to be a memorial to Wil

donor. '
In the valley at north end of
the field, massive concrete pil
lars are being constructed and
in the spaces between, gates of
an ornamental character will be
installed. At the south end work
is progressing on the field house.
It is here that the competing
teams will have their dressing
rooms, lockers and shower
baths, and that quarters will be
provided for meetings of offici
als and for the storage of ath
letic equipment. The walls are
to be of stucco, to accord, in ap
pearance, with the concrete
stands. The roof is to be made
of red tile.
The contractors are placing
the wooden seats. These are of
Douglas fir, said to be the most
durable kind of lumber. They
will rest on iron brackets sunk

under the coat of some dignified
gentleman in the audience.

ization which seeks to develop
dramatic talent by fostering stu
dent productions ; County Clubs,
