"To take charge of the actual building and to direct the students on the job, the College has engaged Charles Godfrey, a well-known local builder. It is planned to make as much use as practicable of the building stone and gravel which abound on the Lake Eden property. At the present time a survey of the timber resources is being made to determine whether installation of a small sawmill would be justified."
