BUILDING OPERATIONS PROVIDE INCREASED FACILITIES

Building operations carried on by the College throughout the past summer were numerous and extensive, including the remodelling of the building formerly known as "The Commercial House" to fulfill the purposes of a dormitory, the building of eight new residences on Dana Road, a new street leading south from East Wheelock Street on the land just beyond the old barn once the property of the Agricultural College, and alterations in several of the College buildings.

The old Commercial House, now known as South Hall which will provide accommodations for 62 students was the scene of extensive alterations, the two lower floors having been completely rebuilt. The entire building has been repainted and repapered within and painting of the exterior will be completed within a short time.

Two new windows were cut through the front wall of the third floor of Robinson Hall into the room occupied by the Green Key and various smaller alterations were made to improve the quarters of that society as outlined by the vote of the trustees of the College appropriating $500 for that purpose.

The room in the basement of College Hall, formerly known as the Grill, and later as the Senior Eating Club, was converted into a cafeteria, new offices for professors and instructors were installed in the top floor of Dartmouth Hall, and a new division of offices for the Associate Dean were provided in Bartlett Hall.
