The thirty are campus lies west and south of the Drum lower about one-half miles from the University of Nanking. Six buildings, built in Chinese architectural style with curved tile roof and eaves with soft colored columns, have been completed and another is in the course of construction. The present buildings face a central quadrangle open to the cast and are only a part of the fourteen buildings planned.
Two dormitories house the ninety-six Chinese women students in present attendance which tests the capacity and precludes further admissions until another dorritory is available. Eventually the College plans to accommodate four hundred students. All of the buildings are fire-proof, have heat, electric fight and running water.
