It will be built on the site where Talge Hall, a men's resi- dence, now stands. The building will be two floors and will have 39,240 square feet. As the tentative plan now stands, there will be possible future expansion into the basement.

The building will house not only the stacks, the reference room, and the reading rooms, but also seminar rooms, a cataloguing area, conference rooms, librarian's offices, browsing room, re- serve book areas, and various study sections, as well as carrels interspersed within the book stacks where students Bdiley Winsted.

Volume XVIII COLLEGEDALE, TENNESSEE, SEPTEMBER, 1968 Number 6 Talge Hall Comes Down New Library Will Occupy Site

The old makes way for the new, and an era ends as Talge Hall comes down at Southern Missionary College. Talge Hall, named after Mr. John H. Talge of Indiana, has been razed at SMC, and a new library will go up

in its place. Shortly after having moved

the college to its present site from Graysville, the College Board planned a new men's dormitory, to be started in 1918 and finished in 1919.

The men lived in what was called the "Yellow House," (the Thatcher Mansion), in tent houses, and in an old make-shift dormitory. Part of the money for the new dormitories was provided by the General Conference,

but it was insufficient. Wrecking crew brings down the north wing of old Talge Hall to make way for new library. Mrs. Elva Gardner writes in her
