A near-future edition of the Sioux Falls Argus leader, containing pictures and articles concerning Charles Coughlin, donor of the magnificent chimes tower, and copies of the Brookings Register and Press are to be placed in the cornerstone, the president said. A history of the college and of the chimes tower donor will also be included.
