It was very fortunate that the new residence Memorial Hail, was sufficiently near completion on opening date to be of use. It was Iully occupied during the year. The many contributors to the Diocesan Campaign Fund have the satisfaction of seeing completed the first unit, the erection cf which their contribution enabled. and of knowlng that unit is of signal value to the College. How- ever, there are bulges elsewhere that need remedying. The large en- rollment forced very uncomfortable conditions in the Chapel and dining-roam. To supply these needs. along with s building that ‘will serve as an auditorium and gymnasium at present building rates. will require more than now remains of the Campaign fund. If the subscribers in arrears could this year complete their subscript- ions the above projects wmsld be easily attainable.

"In any case we must build one unit to contain dining-room. and kitchen, With s chapel above the dining-room. At one time we dreamed of separate buildings for these, but that is not - " now. Plans are now in preparation for this building. The College depends wholly on the generosity of its friends to effect any improvement, ill fact, for its very existence, and we trust them to supply these needs.

A Generous Benefactor

‘In Fbbrusry last one ed our beat friends. ls well as one of our greatest benefactors died - Most Reverend Francis Clement Kelley, Bishop of Oklahoma City and Tusla. I need not pause hero to Day tribute to Bishop Kelley; that

d ihas been done throughout the press

of America in the preceding months, But I wish to make reference to his unabated interest in Si. Dunstarrs. With all the emhuslcsms of b man of unusually wide horizons, his interest in the small College that contributed something to his preparation for life never waned. In later years he dﬂﬂy hoped for the erection of s library on the campus. To that end he gave $30,000.00 which awaits ulgmentation to complete his dream. In addition ho left his library to the College. After his death, 1540 v ‘ , considered to be of use to us, were transported here and are in the procesp of being incorporated into cur library, .
