Richardson by his sons, Messrs. H. S. and L. Richardson, of Greensboro. This in- terest, which has increased by leaps and bounds, willbe brought to a climax with the exercises this morning. The work on the concrete stadium began in the last part of August. Due to the lack j of time, work has been rushed and night j shifts have even been required at times. Z. F. Foardhas been in charge of the work. The exterior of the stadium has been en- tirely completed and is exceedingly attrac- \ ' tive. The 24 tiers of scats are of solid cc- ment work, covered over with a white coat- ! ing of the same material. On each tier the wooden seats arc fastened to the cement by : bolts. The paint on the wooden seats was just appliedduring the past week. Two flag poles are fastened at the top of the stadium, just above the main entrance. Both spec- tators and football teams will enter through this entrance. The students will, as usual, enter through the side gate behind the base- rf.y H 1 - ball diamond. The flag poles are so arranged B*t*fc' J&^^ ""■""^"*Xjji(^H 3h^~4*s. that the pennants of Davidson and the visit- ing team may be raised with little difficulty. The stadium will scat about 1,600 people. The interior of the stadium consists of a large hallway, through which the spectators enter the stand. From this hallway, two dressing rooms extend on either side. One of these rooms will be for the home team, At Forty while the other is spacious enough to accom- modate any team that meets the Wildcats in a contest on the home field.

\ I Just as the Honor System, the symbol- ism of the columns ot old Chambers, the Wildcat spirit and many other traditions are institutions, so has the Student Store, in its three years of existence, become a typical Davidson institution. Owned and operated by the Student Body, it serves the entire campus. The profits are being accumulated to be used, in the future, for the same worthy profects, while it also helps support the Athletic Asso- ciation and supports the Student Government, financially. We extend to the returning Alumni a most cordial invitation to visit us and give the managers any suggestions theymay have.
