PROPOSED NEW ABILENE
HALL ON HARDIN-SIMMONS
CAMPUS — Already crowded
with a record enrollment, Har-
dln-Simmons university was
severely handicapped by lack of
classroom facilities when Abi-
lene Hall burned early In Feb-
ruary. Less than three weeks af-
ter the fire, half of the $200,000
fund was pledged by friends of
the school for its rebuilding.
Feeling that the need was so
great, members of the board of
trustees of the university have
authorized the immediate begin-
ning of construction of the build-
ing. "Because of the shortage of
classrooms, we will build as
much of the new structure as
funds will provide," according
to President R. N. Richardson.
The .building is to be on the site
of the previous Abilene Hall.
Friends in Abilene have already
subscribed more than $100,000
while solicitation has just begun
in other areas of the state.
