NEW OUTING CLUB CABIN UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Work is now under way on the new cabin for the Outing Club to be presented by the Class of 1871 in honor of Melvin O. Adams. The cabin is situated about a mile and a half from the Campus to the north, on an abandoned section of the old Wolfeboro Road laid out to permit Governor Wentworth to come to the second commencement of the College in August, 1772.

The cabin will stand beside the road in the shade of an enormous hemlock tree and beside a spring which rises beneath the tree. It is designed on old Colonial lines with white shingles and chimneys. It will have a porch at the front and another larger one at the west which can be used for outdoor meals in favorable weather. On the east end toward the tree will be the kitchen ell balancing he porch on the west. The main room of the cabin will be 27 x 18 feet, with the unusual attraction in an Outing Club cabin of a fire-place at each end of the room. The cabin will be ready for use before Commencement and will make a most attractive and useful addition to the property of the Outing Club.
