BUILDING OPERATIONS

Hanover never vegetates. It grows both winter and summer. The College has just completed foundations for a new dormitory located in the rear of the Crosby House and opening upon the Hitchcock property, in the development of which it will be the first unit. Whether or not the building will be erected during the coming summer is not, as yet, determined- On East Wheelock street work is progressing on a four family apartment house for faculty use. The new building will be an attractive structure of Colonial design, and will do much to relieve the difficulty of housing members of the teaching force.

Two members of the faculty, Dean Laycock, and Professor Cox, will move into new homes of their own on Rope Ferry Road, during the winter. Meanwhile considerable private building is being projected for the long ridge north of the late residence of Professor Wells. The property has been purchased by a group of the faculty who contemplate erecting houses in the near future.

The Hitchcock Hospital looms larger than ever with its new wing roofed and ready for the completion of interior construction. This wing, which will add some seventy per cent to the accommodations of the hospital, will be given over mainly to a maternity ward, children's ward, and quarters for the hospital staff.
