SERVING THE CAUSE 5. Music department (1950-1973). After paying the $50,000 promised in 1945, the league was subsequently asked for money to buy instruments, choir robes, and the like. Total: $66,405.30. 6. Brua Hall (1954-1961, 1975, 1984). The league promise to help turn Brua Chapel into a fine arts building (only the music part ever materialized) resulted in a commitment approaching in scope that of Weidensall Hall. Smaller contributions were made long after the original project was completed. Total: $85,422.01. 7. Student Union Building (1959-1961, 1980-1981). Responding to an appeal by President Paul, the league promised to raise $50,000 for chairs, curtains, and other furnishings for this new building, the construction cost of which was met by a federal loan. Total: $59,216,33. 8. Schmucker Library (1962-1965, 1971). The league decided to use its golden anniversary appeal as the first installment on a $45,000 pledge to pay for equipment and furnishings for the enlarged and renovated library. Here too it went a second mile. Total: $62,500.00. 9. Chapel Intern and Chaplain Ministry (1966-1984). In 1965 the league voted to support a project reminiscent of the Y.M.C.A. secretaryship with which it had begun its existence more than half a century earlier. Beginning in 1980 it was renamed the Chaplain Ministry project. Total: $72,060.82. 10. Pennsylvania Hall (1967-1970). The league participated in the major restoration of the College's first campus building. Total: $25,000.00. 11. Glatfelter Hall (1971). This project yielded funds for reception, meeting, and staff rooms. Total: $5,000.00. 12. Dining Hall (1972). When the time came to redecorate the dining hall, after more than a decade of use, the College called upon the league for assistance. Total: $7,500.00. 13. Infirmary (1973-1974, 1978). League funds were used to purchase drapes, blankets, and other items. Total: $2,330.00. 14. Eisenhower House (1975). The league helped to make the admissions office a more attractive place to meet prospective students and their parents. Total: $2,500.00. 15. Funds for guest speakers and performers (1975). Total: $1,300.00. 16. Conference House (1975). The league helped convert this house on the Mummasburg road into a place for many College groups to meet. Total: $1,700.00. 17. Musselman Library (1976-1981). The league participated in the campaign for this facility, first by a $25,000 pledge and then by additional gifts for equipment and furnishings. Total: $42,202.61. 18. Schmucker Hall (1982-1983). When this building was being converted into a center for music and art, the league provided funds for preparation of the second-floor lobby. Total: $10,000.00. 19. Oversubscribed pledges (1969-1984). For some years the league held the major project money it was raising either until the College needed some of it immediately or until the goal was reached. During the later 1960s it began making quarterly payments to the College of all moneys contributed to its projects, most of which were eventually oversubscribed. Later, the excess was either distributed among the projects for which it was intended or used for closely related purposes. Total: $15,105.80. 97
