COLLEGE REMODELLING SEVERAL BUILDINGS

Building operations of the College this summer include in addition to the completion of the Steele Chemistry Building, remodelling and repairing in College Hall, Culver Hall, Parkhurst Hall, Rollins Chapel, and the College Church.

Extensive repairs and changes are being made in College Hall, chiefly connected with the Commons, where the kitchens and serving room are being rebuilt and new refrigerators and a refrigerating plant being installed. The room formerly occupied as a billiard room, in the basement of College Hall, is being made over, to serve as a cafeteria, which will be run in connection with the Grill and which will accommodate nearly 100 persons. The addition of the cafeteria to the Dining Hall and Grill will enable manymore men than formerly to obtain board at the reasonable rate charged by the College. New heating and ventilating systems are also being installed throughout the building and the large living room on the first floor is being remodelled.

At Culver Hall alterations will be made to provide quarters on the first floor for the Department of Fine Arts. This will include recitation rooms together with a large room for the department's collection of gifts and purchases. In addition to this change a portion of the second floor of Culver Hall will be given over to the Social Science Department for a library and reading room, thus relieving to some extent the overcrowded condition of the College Library.

In Parkhurst Hall, the Administration Building, quarters are being prepared in the basement for the offices of the Dean of Freshmen. Work is also under way in the College Church for the installing of a new organ, and in Rollins Chapel the rebuilding of the gallery in order better to accommodate the Streeter organ and the choir will be begun shortly. The Chapel will also be provided with new Cathedral chairs and the seating arrangement changed slightly.
