Magnificent Building Best Equipped In -__ Maritime Provinces

"To Meet the Demands of Higher Education-Science Laboratories

Outstanding

uodcrn in every detail. admirably suited to the educational requirements of Prince Edward Is- land and a structure in which may Iell be upheld the finest traditions of the building which it rc-pla vs, the new Prince oi Wales College 1s an edifice of which the province may lustly be proud. Loss than one your after the disastrous flrc of February 6 inst which laid low ihc spicndid old college building, and exactly seven month; after construction work was begun, the new structure, which in the course 0i a low day's will be open for class work is now practical- ly completed. and is a credit to Prince Edward Island and to the contractors who eroctcd it. Not only the requirements of the present, but also every posszble need of ihc future were held in prospect when plans were drafted for the new edifice.

T136 buildings contain. twenty- Lhrcc class rooms, [our laboratories, (our storage rooms, ten wllets, two Libraries, one for students and staff, the other designed to house books for a library circulation system for the province.

The building whch is located par- tially on the sit». of the old college, but nearer Way-mouth Street than the former structure, has in gener- al outline the elongated H shmpe o! the edifice which it succeeds as the centre of educational life of the pmvluce. In addition, however, there is a large wing, the assembly hall, erected to the rear in the centre, w'iii the result that the new col- lege» prcsriits the appearance oi an E when viewed from Cumberland Street. Bay windows facing Wey- nrouth Street in the flanking wings soften the severe lines of the Georg- ian style architecture.

‘Pile strut-lure has the ivzill bearing type of frame work, is fire proof. and is built of red brick trimmed with grey Quebec limestone.

Large window's permit the ndmis- sion of nn abundance of natural light to cachx ciassrctini. Provison Li made for the electric lighting o! each.

The assembly hall, which has a vaulted ceiling, is located opposite the main entrance. It is a. well liight- ed auditorium with B. large stave. and‘ is equipped with a‘ projection room. The walls have been given a greenish tint.

The transversal oi the H is 182 {net long. Foch o! the wines meas- ures 36 Ice’. ‘o5,- l4T‘>L feet, and the Lssembly hall 95 feet by 64 lei-t by 24' ‘feet in hciuht. The eiitirc length oi the blliiil 11g :.-. 25s rm.

Corridors ,

As in the old building the main ‘HTWlTlCC is centrally ififited on W outh Street, with two side lniiuinrt-s, one at Oiiilll cud 0i the ltructure. There are also tour doors 1n the rear QpOXl-llg Onto the campus Jeri-int: both the imsomcni; and first ‘Iloor. The corritlors correspond to the general fihapc oi the buildlnlL IMuch like the old college the muin ‘wrridors on both flours run the ylntim length of the structure. The! "Ire twelve fect. wklc. 1n addition jthcrc nre two Ll'2lll.'w\'L‘l‘.SU corridors, light icct wide which Klvc access to the classrooms in the wings.

All corridors are finished to a height of five feet with brick dadoes. There are two fire hcse, and two drinking fountains 0n each floor. Four stuirways give access to the second floor. Two ol these are located at the ends of the main corridor, the other two adjacent to the auditorium.

The hard plaster Walls are of a greyishpomure tint, and the ceilings are of saban- ite acoustic plaster. ttleship 11H- oleurn covers the cement floors o! both class rooms and corridors.

T0 THE GRADUATES AND PAST STUDENTS OF PRINCE 0F, WALES COLLEGE r '

The Aulmni Society of the Prince of Wales College was formed in the early part of 1932 and the Officers and Executive duly chosen.

The Executive committee have decided that the most opportune time to make an appeal for membership would be on the oiflcial opening day of the magnificent new College Building.

The membership is open to all graduates and past students who have attended Prince of Wales College.

The annual fee was made a minimum of one dollar as it was felt that a question of fees should not deter anyone eligible from becoming a member.

The membership should be very extended’ as former students are to be found in all parts of the world.

The Executivehave already been active and successful in their efforts for the College welfare. Shortly after this Society was formed they decided that they should endeavor to secure a new library to replace the former inadequate one which was destroyed in the fire. The matter was taken up with Dr. George H. Locke of Toronto, Chairman of the Canadian Committee for the Carnegie Foundation Corporation and after very considerable correspondence Dr. Locke visited Charlottetown in July last and at a meeting of the Executive at which members of the Government were present he announced that he had recommended to the Carnegie Foundation that a grant of $1500 per year for three years, be given for a new library and recently he has informed our Executive that this sum was now available and that the selection of books could be made by the College stall’. We feel sure that this Library will be of lnestimablo benefit to the present and future students.

We wish to express our thanks to the Minister of Education, Dr. W. J. P. Macmillan for his co-operation in making feasible Dr. Locke's visit to the Island. '

The Alumni Society in conjunction with the student body should be able to carry out many worthy objects for the advancement and wel- fare of the students in their athletic and social activities as well as form n‘ bond of friendship among all those who have been students in the past.

Falthfully yours, C. H. B. LONG-WORTH, President.
