The new Academic Hall, as provided by the 37th General Assembly, will be located at the extreme south of the campus, and will run east and west, completely closing in the view. It will have an extreme length east and west of 319 feet. The depth of the building from north to south varies from 60 to 130 feet. The whole building will have three full stories besides a high basement, which may be counted as practically a fourth story. The tip of the dome is 180 feet above the level of the ground. The east end will contain the chapel. This will be an exact copy of the old chapel, which was one of the
handsomest in America, and will seat comfortably 1,500 people. The west end will be given up to the Library, and to suites of rooms for the young women. The central portion of the building, 85x130 feet, will be devoted to lecture rooms and offices. An effort will be made to have the chapel ready by the first of June, 1894.
