President Dwight has decided to build an extension to Battelle Chapel which will increase the present accommodations by nearly fifty per cent and thus prevent the possibility of limited seating capacity from becoming an argument against the present system of compulsory chapel attendance. Arrangements for the work have already been concluded with J. C. Cady & Co. of New York...
