The famous Sul Ross cottages are
now past the experimental stage.
They have become an institution with
the school, and they are as much a
part of the college as the Adminis-
tration Building or College Heights.
The cottages have attracted atten-
tion over a wide area, and having
helped to solve the housing problem
here, they will no doubt influence
the policies of other colleges with
like problems.
New Cottages Unique
The new cottages are unique in the
history of teachers’ colleges in that
instead of being temporary affairs,
poorly constructed, uncomfortable,
and inadequately furnished, they are
chairs, tables, rugs, drapes, silver,
and dishes are regularly supplied.
These cottages are furnished at
the reasonable rate of $25 a month
to two or more students, with water,
light, and sewer tax extra. Sewer
tax is one dollar a month, and water
is furnished at the flat rate of two
dollars. It is required that some re-
sponsible person have charge of thee
students of each cottage.
Improvements Now Under Way |
Sidewalks encircling the cottage
units were built last fall. Plans are

now being made to build tennis
courts in space behind the cottages;
to put in grass, shrubs, and trees.
Need for More Cottages
The 23 cottages In operation have
not completely solved the housing
problem. The school is growing more
throughout the country to furnish
convenient homes to teachers who
are going to school for advanced
work. Columbia University took the
lead with a married teachers’ dormi-
tory, and many other schools make
some provision. Sul Ross, however,
is far in advance in that it provides
modern well-equipped cottages for
the students. These bungalows ena-

Morelock Fathered Idea
President Morelock, of Sul Ross, is
the father of the cottage idea. Early
in the summer of 1926 there were
more students enrolled in the Sum-
mer School than there were houses to
take care of them. Something had
to be done, and Mr. Morelock decided
to broach the plan of building cot-
tages to the ever-loyal citizens of Al-
pine. The response on the part of
the citizens was immediate, and
soon the first cottages—at that time
little more than an experiment—
were built. As the time went on, it
was seen that the plan was an un-

qualified success, and now there are
23 cottages housing Sul Ross stu-
dents.
Co-operative Plan
Though the cottages are owned by
individuals, the rent is shared equal-
ly among all the cottage owners. In
this way the proposition would be a
paying one, even though all the cot-
tages would not be occupied. This,
however, has never happened. There
are always more applicants than cot-
tages. So fast is Sul Ross growing
that housing still remains something
of a problem.
Arrangement of the Cottages
The cottages are all the same in
size and arrangement, and they are
much the same in appointments.
Each has a kitchen large enough for
a built-in breakfast nook; a living-
room, two bedrooms, and a complete-
ly furnished bathroom.
The walls are pleasingly tinted,
and the general rule seems to be
cream-colored living rooms and halls,
one bedroom pink, the other blue,
and the kitchen and bathroom white.
