Raising Money.
When we opened our boarding department, we provided rooms in the attic of Porter Hall, our first building, for a number of girls.

But the number of students, of both sexes, continued to increase.

We could find rooms outside the school grounds for many of the young men, but the girls we did not care to expose in this way.

Very soon the problem of providing more rooms for the girls, as well as a larger boarding department for all the students, grew serious.
