NEW HUBBARD

The past month has seen still another dormitory, New Hubbard, opened and occupied. The growth of the College is a year ahead of the preparations which the College is making for its own increase. Two dormitories, North and South Fayerweather, had already been voted, and were in process of erection, to be ready for occupancy in 1907, when it was found that the number of accepted candidates for admission at the opening of the present year would be far in excess of the housing facilities of the College. Accordingly steps were at once taken for supplying this lack as far as possible. The trustees voted a new dormitory, and ground for New Hubbard was broken on August third. In the exceedingly short time of two months the hall has been completed.

The new hall, at the rear of Hubbard House, and south of Chandler, is convenient to recitation halls and to all campus activities. It has twenty suites which are occuped by two men each, and eight single rooms, and therefore accommodates forty-eight men. It will be painted a colonial yellow with white trimmings, after the style of Crosby House, and like the latter will have a colonial portico at the entrance. The rooms are finished in white, and the calcimine walls are tinted green as in Fayerweather and Richardson.

North and South Fayerweather halls will be ready for the occupancy of the alumni next June. It is now thought by the administration that the addition of these two dormitories, together with New Hubbard, will scarcely provide enough room for the College next year.
