(By C. O. Burris, President) 1.
At a recent meeting of the Execu
tive Committee of the Board of Trus
tees, it was unanimously voted to
lease the ' large building near the
College, known as the Grifnn house
for the boys dormitory for the in
coming year. . The building is how
owned by T. K. Helms of Monroe. It
is. an extremely large building and will
house from thirty to thirty-five boys
comfortably. It is fully equipped with
excellent furniture and a good sewage
system. Mr. Helms is also ninng
a heating plant which will make the
building perfectly comfortable through
out ; ' . I
v The basement of one of the dormi
tories which was formerly used by
tne ooys will not be used this year.
The cost of putting- the basement In
good condition was too high and it
was decided not to put money in this
project Our boys win now. have the
very best of accommodations and Fred
Sandusky, a graduate of the Southern
Baptist Seminary at Louisville, win be
in charge of the young men. We still
have several rooms available and any
young man who is interested should
write -the College at once. ." - " - ..
' The entire College debt has recently
been paid and the money now coming
in from the campaign is being used to
work over the present buildings and
put them in shape- for the opening
of the College on September 5. It Is
hoped that : enough money wUl be
realized from the "Enlargement Cam
paign" to work over the buildings and
start a reserve fund for a boys' dormi
tory. v This , building wUl be .started
Just as soon as conditions win permit
At the recent meeting of the Execu
tive Committee Rev. E. 8. Summers,
Rev. J, C. Meigs, and President C. O.
Burris, were appointed as a committee
to arrange for a celebration of the
debt payment, to be held some time
early in September, ,of which an
