REL Ee mi December 22, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 39 Vast Building Program Started at Chicago U. Immediate construction of new re- sidence halls to cost three million dol- lars and the probable authorization of halls to cost another two million will make the University of Chicago much more attractive to students from the Chicago district. The halls will pro- vide the stimulating association of col- lege life for the students, combining the advantages of a university com- munity with those of a large city. Generous cooperation of Julius Ro- senwald, one of the leading benefac- tors of the university, has made pos- sible the dormitory program. Mr. Ro- senwald, a member of the university's board of trustees, has offered to pay forty per cent of a total construction cost of five million dollars. He will give $1,200,000 of the three million dol- lar program, and an additional $800,000 if the board authorizes a total of five million's of construction. The univers- ity's part of the cost will come out of available funds. It is planned to construct most if not all of the residence halls on ground owned by the university south of the Midway. The units already authorized. will accomodate 400 men and 380 women. Present dormitories house 320 men and 290 women, so that approxi- mately 1,400 students will be provided for by the buildings already authorized, and the additional construction would bring the total ta 2,000. The halls will be of the entry type, each entry serving a group of about thirty-five students. One of the impor- tant features of the plan will be ample provision for recreation grounds for intramural sports immediately adjacent to the new dormitories. Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Thorne of Pasadena are the houseguests of their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Andrews of 98 Indian Hill road, for the holidays.
