wo. September 29, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 63 Impressive Ceremony Attends Cornerstone Laying at Seminary In impressive ceremony with proces- sional of eminent dignitaries of the Western Theological seminary, North- western university and Garrett insti- tute, the cornerstone of the seminary was laid Sunday afternoon. Construction of the seminary plant was started this summer at Sheridan road and Haven street, and the twelve buildings, which will eventually make up the group, will be located across Sheridan road from Garrett institute which granted a portion of the build- ing site to the Episcopal institution. The cornerstone of the seminary was laid by the Rt. Rev. Sheldon M. Gris- wold, suffragan bishop of the Diocese of Chicago. Dr. William C. De Witt, president of the seminary, delivered the address. Other speakers included Dr. Walter Dill Scott, president of Northwestern university, and Dr. Fred- erick Carl Eiselen, president of Gar- rett institute. Members of the faculties and deans of the university and in- stitute schools took part in the pro- cession. Following the ceremonies, Dean Frederick C. Grant of the seminary and Mrs. Grant received at their home, 2145 Orrington avenue. . The seminary was established in 1883 and operated for forty years on the west side of Chicago. In 1922 North- western university invited the seminary to locate in close proximity to its campus, the bid reinforced by the grant of the land from Garrett. A build- ing delay was caused by litigation with the city over zoning regulations, but the work is now well under way and approximately 000 of the $750,000 needed to complete the plan, has been raised. Completion of the building fund will be undertaken shortly, authorities announce. Classes of the seminary will reopen in October at St. Mark's church, Gar- rett institute and Northwestern uni- versity. W. C. T. U. MEETING The W. C. T.
