Central College plans expansion and new chapel in Lexington
Plans from Central College call for a new 25 000 chapel aisle hall on campus and a 5 000 residence for the president this summer. A larger spring project to add a 60 000 to 40 000 building west of the chapel is under way, with 15 000 pledged. The college, allied with the Missouri Federated Church, aims to lead women’s higher education in the central west. Local funding seeks 10 000 for site work and improvements, while anticipated outside subscriptions hinge on donations. A private battlefield park, landscape work, and a 10 000 to 10 000 campus expansion are noted, with Waverly bank incorporation of 25 000 shares and a committee of prominent locals. Baylor College former president W. Y. Wilson sent Cape Jasmine buds for a Jubilee Alumnae banquet, received late.
