Our plan was brought before house corporation who liked it and felt it was the next important step in remodelling the first floor. Money was appropriated from the Buckley^ Fund for the project. With the aid of Penn Nelson, Treasurer of House Corporation, a construction firm was hired this past fall semester to widen the doorway between the two rooms from four Work on the new basement in full swing.
