NEW DORMITORY AND POOL ARE BEING BUILT

Work on Topliff hall, a new dormitory which is to be the largest at Dartmouth, and on the swimming pool addition to the gymnasium, is under way and will 'be hurried to completion. The new dormitory is expected to relieve somewhat the room shortage which this fall made it impossible for many would-be freshmen to matriculate.

Topliff hall is being built at the corner of Wheelock and Crosby streets. It is named after E. M. Topliff, Dartmouth '52, who died in 1911 and bequeathed to the college $250,000, which became available in 1916. The new dormitory is to be a brick structure, trimmed with gray granite. Most of the apartments will be suites for two and a large percentage of them will have fireplaces.

The swimming pool at the gymnasium is the gift of the Honorable R. H. Spaulding of Rochester, N. Y., formerly governor of New Hampshire. It will be completed early in the spring if present plans are carried out.

The H. P. Cummings Company of Ware, Mass., and Woodsville, N. H. has both contracts.
