Heacock earnestly believes that the
plan will be a stimulant to other con¬
templated advances lor the college.
The Student Body will moot assured¬

The building will be an asset to the
constructive and wholesome thoughts,
the energies and aspirations that
measure the propensities and needs of
a collegiate student body."
Those who foster the Idea that “it
can’t be done" are harboring "bunk”
