The YMCA of the university
has contracted to purchase 276
acres of land for construction and
development of an all-year round
recreation center for students and
faculty members of the univer
0- sity, R. G. Bell, executive secre
a tary of the YMCA, announced this
he week.
he
>t- The new camp site is located on
ns Percival road which runs off For
est drive near north boundary of
ry Fort Jackson. Negotiations have
nt been made for the purchasing of
nt
de the land and plans have been
laid to develop extensive camp
ht facilities that will make the spot
he one of the finest of any college
' YMCA development in the South.
ill Plans call for the building of a
in lake for swimming, fishing, and
boating which will cover eight
acres. A dam of approximately
75 yards will be constructed at a
centrally located point in the lay
out. Around this lake will be built
a lodge, a mess hall, 10 living
shacks which will sleep eight peo.
Sple in each, a picnic ground with
open fireplaces and a pavilion
rthat will be heated for use all
year round.
Dean Francis Bradley is the
ychairman of a board of trustees
lcomposed of former Y members
al and friends of the university that
kwill have complete charge of the
development and business ends of
the transaction. Other members
nof this important board include
yr Judge Harry Lightsey, Harold
r|DeLorme, J. Bratton Davis and
eIF. T. Meeks.
11The land contract will be signed
swithin a few days and the first
1project will be the purchasing of
er buildings from the camp wrecking
company. These buildings may be
mn purchased through this source for
dabout one-fifth of what it would
ycost to build them on the site. Af
ter acquiring the buildings, full
et plans for the building of the dam
will go forward.
id Bell said that the university
ystudents should begin using the
st camp this summer when the dam
lo and lake will be completed. The
re facilities of the camp will be open
id not only to the YMCA, but stu
-dent religious clubs of the uni
i- versity. All students and faculty
s, members, whether they live in the
y, city or on the campus will have
.access to the facilities. The de
velopment will be one of the
largest recreational projects in
South Carolina.
