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. -- --4-_ _ _ Russians To Get Lend-Lease For Japanese War Stalin Expected To Sign New Agreement Soon By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Feb. I0-A pend- ing lend-lease agreement with Rus- sia contains a provision permitting continued shipment of arms to the Soviets after the European war ends, if Russia intends entering the war against Japan.

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 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.
