 Enlargement of the Chapel of the Cross 
 
 CHAPEL HILL, N. C. 
 
 At the Convention of the Diocese of North Carolina in 
 Durham, May 10-12, it was unanimously decided that the time 
 had come to enlarge the Church and Parish House at Chapel 
 Hill. The Building Plan presented by the Parish at Chapel Hill 
 was enthusiastically endorsed, and the Bishop appointed a com- 
 mittee from the Diocese to co-operate with the local committee 
 in raising funds for this purpose. 
 
 A few weeks later, the plan received the endorsement of 
 the Bishop of East Carolina, and he also appointed a committee 
 from that Diocese for the same purpose. 
 
 The "Jt^eed 
 
 The University is growing rapidly. One thousand, eight 
 hundred and fifty students were registered in the last twelve 
 months, not counting the normal students in the Summer 
 School. 
 
 The State has realized 
 its responsibility nobly. In 
 the next two years, North 
 Carolina will spend nearly 
 a million and a half dollars 
 for new buildings and in- 
 creased facilities at Chapel ' 
 Hill. The Church must 
 not lag behind the State. 
 As the present University 
 plant is inadequate, so also 
 is the Church plant inade- 
 quate. If we are to look 
 after the young men and 
 women of our Church at 
 the University properly, 
 we must have more room. 
 The condition is not pecu- front of chapel of the cross 
 
 liar tO OUr Church. The This will remain exactly as it is. 
 
same problem confronts the other religious bodies who have 
 work at Chapel Hill, and they too are taking steps to meet this 
 need. Not only do we need an enlarged Church to accommo- 
 date the increased number of students who wish to attend, but 
 we must also have more room for the Sunday School, Bible 
 Classes, and student gatherings, so that the Parish may be a 
 heal home for the students. 
 
 The "Plan 
 
 The method of enlargement is in accordance with the plans 
 put out seven years ago, when the Battle Memorial Parish 
 House was built. That Parish House is an immense asset to 
 the work at Chapel Hill, and its use is a convincing proof of 
 the need of enlargement. It was built in such a way as to be 
 part of the whole plan that we must now complete. The architect 
 is Mr. Hobart B. Upjohn, whose work in this State is well 
 known. The parish houses of Christ Church, Raleigh, and of 
 Holy Innocents, Henderson, are his work. 
 
 The tower and side walls of the present beautiful Chapel of 
 the Cross ( see illustration) will not be disturbed. The enlarge- 
 ment will be made by adding to the chancel end of the Church, 
 so making the building about twice as long as at present. The 
 seating capacity will be more than doubled. Back of the present 
 Parish House will be built a large assembly room, with a number 
 of smaller rooms suitable for Sunday School and Bible Classes, 
 and for meetings of students and others (see illustration). The 
 interior of the present Church will of necessity be remodelled. 
 Here the especial need is to open up the flat ceiling, making a 
 proper Gothic roof. 
 
 The estimated cost of the whole work, including furniture, 
 organ, and heating plant, is $70,000.00. 
 
 The extension is needed now. The sum of $70,000.00 is 
 not a large one, considering what can be accomplished with it. 
 The Chapel of the Cross, like the University, is really a state- 
 wide institution. We confidently appeal to the University 
 alumni, to those who have or have had sons or daughters at the 
 University, and to all those who desire to see the spiritual forces 
 at Chapel Hill keep pace with the material and intellectual 
 forces, to help to their utmost ability to provide the sum needed.
