MEMORIAL hall almost ready
Students May Occupy Philosophy Building Nov. 15; Large Library Is Planned.
Southern California's newest ,nd most monumental building, the Seeley Wintcrsmith Mudd Memorial Hall of Philosophy, now in the course of construction lt the corner ot University avenue Wd Exposition boulevard, will be ready for occupancy by the School of philosophy about Nov. 15. Work on Ihe $300,000 classroom, olllco and li-brarv building is progressing virtually on schedule time, according to I. L Berrien, engineer in charge of contraction. The exterior brick work will be completed this week, and the plastering and interior finishing is going ahead rapidly, he stated.
When the new building is opene-ed, the University of Southern California will possess one of the most beautiful classroom buildings in the American university world, and special library facilities that have no counterpart anywhere. The entire second door of the building will eventually be given over to the Hoose Library of Philosophy, where provision will be made for the stacking and use of a book collection of more than 100,000 volumes.
The new hall conforms to the North Italian Romanesque architec-ture, which is the accepted style of the university's buildings. Its dominant feature is the clock tower which rises 140 feet above the street-level and stands at the corner of a large rectangular court. Around this court the three sections of the building have been built, while on the fourth side, paralelling University avenue, will be a cloistered walk. The flrst floor will be given over to the offices of the Director of the School and members of the philosophy teaching staff, to three large classrooms, and a lecture hall, which will seat 400 persons. Each of the major offices will open on to a small walled garden facing Exposition Park. The lecture hall, to be known as International hall, will be provided with complete facilities for handling large and small University functions, including ample check-rof ns, a serving kitchen, and sep-ar te entrances and exits (or the accommodation of large numbers of persons.
