OIRT BROKEN FOR
NEW DORMITORY
Yesterday morning at 9 o’clock dirt
was broken for the foundations of the
new dormitory at the Bryan Baptist
Academy. The entire student body and
faculty and quite a large crowd of
friends and patrons were present to
witness! the beginning of this impor
tant addition to the institution, and
an appropriate and interesting pro
gram was carried out.
The exercises opened with a song
by the entire gathering, followed by
prayer. Mr. A. W. Buchanan, presi
dent of the board of directors, then
gave a brief outline of the history of
the school, its growth, its prospects,
etc. Rev. L. D. Bass, of Mexia, made
an interesting talk on the value of
the denominational school, and his re
marks were both instructive and en
tertaining. Prof. R. McDonald, presi
dent of the school, then made a short
address of encouragement, after which
the exercises closed with prayer by
Rev. J. J. Pipkin.
The site chosen for the building is
on the brow of a beautiful eminence
in front of the present dormitory, and
the two buildings will be joined by
concrete walks. It has been decided
to give the new dormitory to the girl
students and the present building to
the boys.
