THE MICHIGAN DAILY x New Graduate School To Be Finished Soon $5,000,000 Of Rackham Fund Is Apportioned For New Buildings Has 2 Auditoriums Large Lecture Hall Will Be Of Hemicycle Type; Both Fitted For Projection Construction of the new Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Stu- dies, the newest and one of the most impressive units on the Michigan campus, is proceeding at a swift pace, although no date has been set for the completion of the work, according to officials of the Graduate School. A total of $5,000,000 was given to the Board of Regents for the con- struction of this building and the support of the Graduate School by the Horace H. Rackham and Mary A. Rackham Fund.. It is half of the $10,000,000 trust fund which was pro- vided for by Mr. Rackham, one of the original partners of Henry Ford, and which he directed should be spent for the "benefit of humanity." The bulk of the fund, $4,00,000, will be an endowment for the Grad- uate School, the income from which will, be used to support special in- vestigators in research, to provide scholarships and fellowships and to meet other expenses of research. To Move Offices The offices of the trustees of the Rackham Fund will be moved to rooms on the main floor as soon as the building is completed, according to Dean Clarence S. Yoakumn of the Graduate School. Here, too, will be the offices of the Graduate School. The building will contain two lec- ture halls, a large one with a capacity of approximately 1,100, and a smaller one capable of seating 200 persons. These will be suitable for the presen- tation of papers of scholarly and scientific character to state and na- tional gatherings and to smaller and more specialized groups of students and faculty, Dean Yoakum stated. In addition to"these lecturehalls there will be less formal rooms cap- able of seating 25 to 200 or more per- sons for conferences and discussions. The large lecture hall or auditorium on the main floor will be of the hemicycle type with all seats on the floor of the hall and so spaced that there is ample room between seats and rows. Both this and the smaller auditorium will be equipped for all types of projection work and will be acoustically treated and lighted with the assistance of University experts. Offers Many Facilities "The University campus offers many facilities for the recreational and social development of its student body," Dean Yoakum said. "It is commonly acknowledged, however, that these facilities are more fre- quently used and appreciated by the undergraduates than by the older, more mature, graduate student. The design of the building, therefore, of- fers facilities for these relationships through small study rooms, social and common rooms, special rooms that may be equipped for the indulgence of hobbies, or of one's interest in mu- sic." Other space will be provided, Dean Yoakum explained, with the hope of encouraging "that social conversa- tional relationship, often referred to today as a lost art." The second floor of the building will contain two large, comfortably furnished rooms for these purposes. It also will have smaller and more intimate rooms to- gether with a large study hall, de- signed for those who commute or must spend many hours in continuous reading or writing. At different points in the building, particularly on the intermediate floor, will be exhibition rooms for the dem- onstration of research techniques. Designs Harmonize The design of the building, Dean Yoakum explained, is planned to har- monize with the structures that now, or in the future, will be grouped with it. The large reading and study hall of the second floor will dominate the south approach, while to the left and right of this large central room of the second floor will be the book alcoves. Back of this, as right and left wings of the building, will be the lounges or ommon rooms. One of the unique features of the building will be the terrace which will form the roof of the administration offices and connect with the common rooms on either side of the auditor- ium. A terrace again will be found above thee second floor room as a part of the development of the third floor conference and discussion suite. Although this Graduate School building and endowment fund was the largest gift from Mr. Rackham, he made possible the University's arch- aeological studies in Egypt and the Philippines before his death in June 1935, and assisted other University projects.
