REMOVAL OF SANBORN HALL

Sanborn Hall, staid old white and green guardian of the west side of the campus for upwards of a century, has relinquished her post at last. As THE MAGAZINE goes to press, Sanborn, propped up on huge beams and rollers, is making progress day by day, backwards like the crab, toward her future home. When she reaches that site, just east of the cemetery, she will swing about so that her front rooms—the one-time study of Professor Sanborn with its well-known picture wallpaper and the corresponding wing—will face her new neighbor, the Beta Theta Pi House. Sanborn House is the last of the old row of dwellings on this side of the campus to go. The Proctor, Shurtleff, and Hubbard houses have all been torn down within the last ten years; soon the bank building is to follow, leaving the College in complete possession of the lots surrounding the green.

For next year Sanborn House is to be used as a dormitory for students in the graduate schools. Work on Robinson Hall will be commenced at once.
