PERSPECTIVE—GIRLS' DORMITORY
The fact that McMurry's boarding students from the many
cities and communities outside Abilene (196 outlying cities repre-
sented by the present student body) must be provided with a place
to live, makes necessary the immediate construction of another
building—a new girls' dormitory. At present, the President Hall
dormitory for girls is over-crowded, and had to turn down appli-
cants for admission this year. Two frame dormitories, Boyce Hall
and Ward Hall, are occupied. Pictured on this page is an architec-
tural drawing and schematic floor plans for a new girls' dormitory
for McMurry College. This structure, when completed, will house
136 girls and provide all necessary modern conveniences. It will
assuredly be filled to capacity as soon as the influx of college stu-
dents begins in 1955. This building, like the proposed new class
room structure, was approved for construction in the near future
by the McMurry Trustees' Executive Committee on October 28,
1954, and confirmed by a unanimous vote of the Board of Trustees
November .13, 1954.
