Although work will not be commenced on the new buildings until December, mark- ers will be erected to show spots on which they will stand ready for occupation in the fall of 1939. The men's dormitory which will house 120 students, the office of the dean of men, a reception room, and a recreation room, will cost $150,000. The field house will cost an additional $70,000. The new dormitory will be located so that its corner nearest the present college buildings will be at the northeast corner of the farthest of the tennis courts behind the seminary. In the course of time all the tennis courts will be removed to a new site. This will probably not be done within the next year.
