WORK ALREADY STARTED ON NEW DORMITORY

Ground has been broken for the new dormitory on Tuck Drive, to be known as Russell Sage Hall. The H. P. Cummings Construction Co., of Ware, Mass., has been awarded the contract for the foundation.

It is planned to have the new dormitory completed during the summer, although the contract for the building has not yet been awarded.

The building will be named in honor of the late Mr. Russell Sage of New York. LTpon the death of Mrs. Sage two years ago, a large estate was left by her in memory of Mr. Sage to be divided among a number of colleges. Dartmouth was one of the beneficiaries.

Russell Sage Hall will be built in two wings, similar in construction and outside appearance to Hitchcock Hall. It will be situated on the Hitchcock estate, 185 feet north of Hitchcock Hall, and separated from it by Tuck Drive. Its east front will be on a line with the east face of Hitch-cock, and its west wing parallel to the west wing of the older dormitory.

Plans completed by Larson & Wells, assisted by John Russel Pope of New York as consulting architect, provide for the accommodation of 95 men on four floors. There will be three entrances, one facing west down Tuck Drive, one facing Hitchcock Hall, and one facing North Main street.

The dormitory will contain a living room, 44 suites of rooms for two men, 36 of which will be connected with bathrooms, and 24 of which will have fireplaces; and seven single rooms. The size, shape and general appearance of the rooms will be similar to those in Topliff Hall.
