GENERAL INFORMATION
GIRLS' DORMITORY
For the present, the College has only one dormitory, and this
is for girls. This is a three-story and basement structure of concrete
and brick. The building is heated with gas and lighted
with electricity; it has bath and toilet rooms, with hot and cold
water on each floor, and each room was a lavatory with running
water. The walls are plaster and the ceilings are metal. The
present building is only one wing of the proposed structure. In
this building there is the College dining room, where both boys
and girls may take their meals.
THE COLLEGE LIBRARY
Rooms seven and eight on the second floor of the Administration
Building are used as a library. This contains over 8,000
well-selected and modern volumes. Every department of the College
has its section, and the library is being equipped to meet all
of the needs as a reference library for a modern educational institution.
In addition to the books the library will be supplied with
the latest magazines and periodicals. It is the purpose of the
institution to make the library work popular for the entire student
body.
THE ATHLETIC PARK
The Athletic Park is located north of the College, nearer the
business part of the city by two blocks than the campus. It comprises
three acres, for football, gridiron and a baseball diamond.
The Hob Gray grandstand is so located on the north side that it
commands the best view of any athletic contest carried on in the
park. The park slopes gently and evenly to the north, and there
borders a small run, making it easily and quickly drained. The
soil is a sandy loam-the very best for athletic contests.
CO-EDUCATIONAL
The College is co-educational. Girls will be admitted for College
degrees with same standing, privileges and responsibilities as
boys. The Synod of Texas took control of Daniel Baker College
in 1907, to maintain an institution where both sexes may have
equal opportunity for advanced studies, and where at the same
time they may be trained in all that pertains to refined Christian
manhood and womanhood.
AIMS - IDEALS
In addition to emphasizing the importance of the generally
accepted objects of an educational institution, and the benefits to
be derived from the courses of study therein, the Faculty and
Board of Trustees of Daniel Baker College recognize as more important
the formation of Christian character, the establishment
of such principles of manhood and womanhood as will give to the
Church, the State and the Home the strongest, the most useful,
the best. To this end, the desire always is to have as teachers,11
