"I do htreby bequath the sum
of S?.00 to the University of
Michigan for the erection of an
zuditor iumn for the gathering of
students, the college body, and
their friends on large occasions
such as graduating exercises, and
musical festivals."
These were the words in the will
of Arthur Hill. '65E, former Univer-
sity Regent, which provided for the
erection of the building now known
as Hill Auditorium.
When hill Auditorium was first
deigned two primary considerations
wcre discussed, the size and acous-
tics. 'Ihe plans called for a seating
capacity of 4,800 people, with each
seat located so that even a whisperI
from the stage might be heard.
The Greek type of theater was
rejected because it could not provide
sufficient seating capacity within
reasonable horizontal dimensions,
and the addition of a roof would re-
sult in echoes. - The final decision
was to ccnstruct a building with
an exterior similar to the usual thea-
tre, and interior shape of a paraba-
Icid of revolution.
Sound would emanate directly
from stage for 50 feet. Beyond
this point reflected sounds must
be employed to supplement direct
counds, but reflected sounds must
not bw diffused and must arrive
1 tt the crar of the listener within
frction of a scond after the
E°. t~iv .l of direct -ound cr the re-
suits would be confusion and echo.
The curved surface served to pre-
vent diffusion.
Tardiness of arrival of sound was
avoided by not permitting any re-
flected sound to travel more than
70 feet farther than direct sound
nmst travel. Unwanted reflections
were prevented by padding the rear
w' alls and the rear part of the side
walls. The audience was calculated
as such padding for the floors.
'10 proevent sounds from penetrat-
ing from without. a combination of
sclid brick exterior walls, a four-
inch air space, and a four-inch hol-
low brick interior wall was used.
Tile was used to prevent the patter
of rain on the roof.
Changes during subsequent years
have been slight. In 1916, three years
after the completion of the building,
a permanent moving picture booth
was installed; and in 1930 lights were
provided with dimming devices.
The C(onCept of separate building
on campus to serve auditorium
needs originated in dissatisfaction
over University Hal as the setting
for the May Festival concerts. In
1895 plans fur the auditorium were
drawn up, but no donors could be
found.
In 1904 through the influence and
Russian signature on the agree-
ment is expected soon.
The clause is similar to those in
all lend-lease agreements defining
the direct power of the president to
continue or terminate shipments
whenever he sees fit. But in this
case it is being interpreted by offi-
'ials as having special significance
because of the Russo-Japanese situ-
ation.
President Roosevelt went to the
Big Three meeting expecting to have
some final word from Marshal Stalin
as to his plans for fighting Japan.
American officials have predicted
privately all along that Stalin will
enter the war in Asia. The JapaneseS
seem to be of the same view.
The problem with respect to lend-
lease has been to arrange for a tran-
sition period at the end of the Euro-
pean war which would serve the in-
terests of the United States regard-
less of which course. Russia takes.
The agreement provides for lend-
lease slhipm ent of munitions and
essential war materials to continue
at full scale through the end of the
European war.

interests of Arthur 1ill, then a Re-
gent, the Board of Regents became
interested in the project, and ap-
proved of outside assistance. The
response xvas dscol uraging, and so
Hill provided $200,ti00 in his will for
the building. No one knew of his
action until his death.
A few months before hi: death Hill
asked Dr. James B. Angell, then
president of the University, if there
was any building needed more by
the University than an auditorium,
and received a negative reply.
The auditoriunm was constructed on
the site of the old ctagonal house of
Dr. Alexander Winchell, former Uni-
versity professor, and one of the
founders of the University Musical
Society. Hill Auditorium became the
fourth fireproof tructuire ergcted on
campus.
The buildiv was conpleted in
1913 at the approximate cost, un-
equipped, of s282,000; and inehid-
ing equipment of $347,600.
The exterior of the building is
massive and plain, relying chiefly on
its color scheme of dull reds and
browns, relieved by limestone trim-
ming for its, decorative qualities. It
measures 171 feet in width, and 174
feet in length, and has 71,914 square
feet of space.
On the second floor in back of the
gallery is a large hall designated by
the Regents as a recital and lecture
hall. It will seat about 400 people,
ideal for small musicales. At present
it houses the Stearnes Collection of
Musicpl Instruments.
A bronze relief of Hill can be found"
in the foyer. It was dedicated in
his memory by his wife. The Frieze

it was replaced in 1925 by a new
organ, iu 1.e iname was carried
over.
The dedication of the auditorium
took place on Wednesday, June 25,
1913 (Alumni Day.). President-
Emeritus Angell presented the
building in behalf of the Hill Es-
tate and Regent Clements accepted
it for the Board of Regents.
The stipulations of the will were
carried out by the Board of Regents,
and Hill Auditorium is now the scene
for large gatherings of students, fac-
ulty members, and their friends for
large occasions and for musical
festivals.
