I REMEMBER WHEN— —In~1928gthere were only two buildings On campus, Main and Dalton Hall. Though only a new building, Dalton had badly‘deteriorated: bricks and masonry had crumbled, so that the main entrance was closed. This Condition was caused by the operation of the laundry in the basement: it shook the whoie_bui1ding. ' “-

Jun Mainqwhere the Faculty Room is today was a bare room, with‘seats“ around the wall, a piano; and a platform used by the person giving outhmailt .It;was*calledvfthe Rec' Hall".

gloomy room where students could meet a visitor,

(male) under the stern gaze of long—departed bishops whose portraits hung on the walls.

In the basement, just about where the the’Security Offices.are, was the Dining Room, ” called-WThe Refectory". There was a faculty table in the centre, and around the walls were tables holding a dozen students. Each student had an assigned place. When I went there first, the dishes were of tin until a visiting ‘re— treat master' made jocular_remarks at 'The Palace' about the clatter made by the dishes.x The bishop ordered crockery ones. The food was abundant and, by and large, good.

Where Student Services are, as one can” see by”the type of windoWs, was the Chapel. The raised portion—where the Extension Dept. is, was used‘fOr the choir, and served as a stage for lectures, ceremonies, assemblies, concerts, etc. A large canvas hid the altars and the pews were reversed. 'It was also used for Commencement eXercises, and held guests, parents, students, and their relatives. And there was usually room to spare.

Room 219 Main covered the whole floor and was called 'The Study Hall!.' There, all high school students and “day students", those who lived in town and commuted on foot, went to study when there were no classes.‘ Once one‘ left the Dormitory in the morning, he could not go-baCkf-except by permission. There were
