Her expenditure fof 1896-97 was $6,829.78; for 1925-26 it was $128,246.31. Distinctive Aim of the College—Flora Macdonald College § n institution of the Church, for the Church, and her students ré systematically trained for efficient service in the Church, itis is accomplished by high standards and competent teachers all departments. The College has a Faculty of 26 well dipped and experienced teachers; standard entrance require- : is; and confers the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor Ppt Science, and Bachelor of Music. Each member of the Faculty is a member of an Evangelical Church. We have morn- and evening chapel service, our own Sunday School taught by members of the Faculty, the Y. W. C. A,, and its several ctivities—prayer bands and mission study bands. Four years Bible study are offered in the regular course. Three years § required for graduation. FI he Plant—The buldings are of brick with a total floor ace of two and one-half acres. They are heated by steam and Mq@ipped with electric lights. There is running water in each mG room; single beds and two students to a room; baths and Metoilets on each floor. There is a Director of Athletics, regular te asium work, tennis, basketball, hockéy, etc. The Dean of College does no teaching and gives all her time to the welfare Df the students. We have a resident trained nyrse. The State bf North Carolina gives Flora Macdonald College “A” rating. : Our Neeps ‘Endowment—First, an adequate endowment.

We could use any one of four buildings “# advantage and the four would give us quite a complete plant. A Library Building—Our books now occupy all pos- space in the rooms allotted to the library and have over- ed into the halls and parlors. There is little or no floor ' for students in the library. The topical books are kept in “the recitation rooms. We are obliged to keep some of our most able books in the fire-proof vault. We need a fire-proof ry. This building would cost about $30,000. 2. A Science Building—Our Scientific work now oc- @upies rooms on several floors and is crowded for space. We ve plans for a building that would take care of all of this work and in which we could do much to develop this department. To erect and equip this building would cost between $60,000 and $75,000. This would be a splendid addition to our plant. { ’ We Need a Gymnasium—The room we are now using ) fs a room of suffciert size for ordinary gymnastic work but it 5 ; not large enough to accommodate basketball and other indoor “‘kports.- Besides this, if we could have this building we could ilize the present gymnasium as a temporary library.
