Your favor of the 24th ult., enclosing letter from Brother Udall in regard a Stake Academy building was duly re -
ceived, and enclosed please find a suggestive rough
sketch, as I have been able to adjust the required items
in my mind. A Lectureroom for Stake Conference pur-
poses, to hold about 500 people, and premises for
an Academy are so widely different in their nature
of operation, that I could find no other plan suitable,
but by separating them into a lower and upper story.
The classrooms below have been designed on the prin-
ciple of 16 sq ft. to the pupil, which allows sufficient
room for aisles, recitation place before blackboard
and teacher's desk. I have located no windows,
leaving that to the building committee to determine,
in regard to their number, size, and form, all of which
depend upon their taste and extent of means. Any
good mechanic can construct the building or its [general]
plan after these rough Specifications.
Please to parden me for not answering any sooner,
Provo City, Febr. 5. 89.
President Wilford Woodruff.
Dear Brother,
Your favor of the 24th ult. enclosing letter from Brother
Udall in regard a Stake Academy building was duly re -
ceived, and enclosed please find a suggestion rough
sketch, as I have been able to adjust the required items
in my mind. A Lecture room for Stake Conference purposes, to hold about 500 people, and permises for
an Academi are so widely different in their nature
of operation, that I could find no other plan suitable,
but by reparating them into a lower and upper story.
The classrooms below have been designed on the principle of 16 sq ft. to the pupil, which allows sufficient
room for nisles, recitation plus a before blackboard
and teacher's desk. I have located no windows,
leaving that to the building committee to determine,
in regard to their members, size, and forum, all of which
depend upon their taste and extent of means. Any
good mechanic new construct the building with groundire
plan after these rough specifications.
