A large group of young alumni banded together to express its approval of the activities center, and successfully stimulated additional alumni interest. The Alumni Bulletin also came out for a large-scale memorial. At its next meeting on February 29, the Saltonstall Committee recognized alumni sentiment. It lent preliminary approval to a $750,000 scheme for an auditorium attached to Memorial Hall and meeting rooms in the building's basement--all in addition to the plaque. In April it was found that the center...
