Men's Dormitories
The Men's Dormitories were then discussed. It was pointed out that due to the high cost of
construction and other factors, it was deemed advisable to consider larger units of the corridor
type, and a new site for the first group of dormitories to house 1,000 students for which an appropriation
is available.
About 3:15 p. m. Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Willis, Mrs. Wailes, Mr. Carrington, Mr. Gravatt, President
and Mrs. Darden, Mr. Frank Hartman, and Vincent Shea met on the site, went over the plans and
discussed the location with respect to the University Cemetery, and the distance between dormitories on
the north-south axis, etc.
After about one hour's study and discussion, Mr. Anderson, speaking for the members present,
requested that a front and rear elevation of the dormitories be prepared and presented at a later date
to the full Board for further review and discussion.
Members present were favorable to the proposed change, but Mr. Anderson again pointed out
that this was not a commitment of the Board.
