Vol. XXIX Mundelein College, Chicago 40, Illinois, October 28,1958 sketch shows the proposed eight-story dormitory building designed by Naess and Murphy architects, AN ARTIST'S which would house 200 resident students. Eight-story Dormitory Set As Goal of Alumae Drive Plans for a modern eight-story dormitory containing recreation rooms and snack bar facilities are making rapid progress at the College, Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., President, announced. Tentative blue-prints for the proposed building which would house about 200 girls are being drawn up by Naess and Murphy, architects. The new skyscraper would replace Lourdes hall, at the corner of Sheridan and Kenmore opposite the scholasticate. To finance the major expense of the building the college plans to apply for a government loan, Sister Mary Ann Ida said. Mundelein alumnae have pledged their support to the project by un dertaking a personal solicitation cam paign for funds. A goal of 40,000 has been set for the drive which will be launched at a kickoff dinner Nov. 19. DR. ANN M. LALLY '35, principal of John Marshall high school, will be alumnae campaign chairman. She will be assisted by three co-chairmen, Geraldine Connell '39, Francine Lamb '48 and Margaret Roach '49. Proceeds for the alumnae drive will be used to pay for the land on which the building will be erected and for initial planning expenses. The construction of another build ing has been under consideration for a long time, Sister Mary Ann Ida said. The undertaking at the present time has been stimulated by requests from parents who wish to send their daugh ters to the college but who live at too great a distance for daily commuting.
