Building Operations

The marks of fire on So. Fayerweather Dormitory are now obliterated. After a summer's hard work, the reconstructed building was opened to occupation this fall. While outwardly unchanged, South Fayerweather presents many interior alterations. The construction is thoroughly fireproof, with steel and concrete floors and asbestos board partitions. The rooms have been so re-arranged as to eliminate most of the not over popular alcove bed rooms; while toilet conveniences are supplied in every suite.

Forced work on South Fayerweather has retarded progress on the Gymnasium. Its vast extent of wall is, however, now virtually complete and work is being pushed on such parts of the interior as are immediately required for use. The football team is already making use of the rear of the main building. The Athletic Council has made an appropriation for six tennis courts which will be ready in the spring.

The new Administration Building, whose inception is due to the generosity of Mr. Parkhurst of the Board of Trustees, is now in process of erection on the site of Old Hubbard, which has been demolished. New Hubbard has been moved to a position in the rear of the Chandler Building, where its architectural features are less conspicuous. The Administration Building is designed to harmonize with Tuck Hall. These two buildings, with Massachusetts midway between them in the rear, will constitute an attractive quadrangle. It is hoped that the Administration Building will be ready for occupancy by next Commencement.
