New Buildings Progress

Of great interest among students and townspeople alike is the progress being made on the new Outing Club House, the gift of the class of 1900, being erected on Faculty Pond. The building is designed to be a winter sports center and will provide a headquarters for outdoor activity during the winter months. It will be ready for use when college reopens following the Christmas vacation. The Outing Club House is located at the northerly end of the pond and its first floor is on a level with the pond so that skaters may go directly from the ice to the spacious lodge room on the first floor, where fireplaces and hot food and drink facilities will provide warmth and comfort.

Carpenter Hall, the gift of Frank P. Carpenter, the new art building being erected northwest of Baker Library, will be completed in time for dedication at the Commencement of 1929. Sanborn House southwest of the library will be ready for occupancy by the English department at the opening of the College in September, 1929.

Carpenter Hall is in the shape of a "T." The main entrance faces to the west and is placed in the head of the "T." This section of the building contains a lecture room and offices on the ground floor, with recitation rooms, a general department room, and the main art gallery, where exhibitions will be shown, on the two upper floors. More offices and recitation and conference rooms are located in the east wing which has four levels and a basement. The studio is also in this section. Other entrances face north on Elm Street and on Library West Court. A ground floor passage leads to the library.

A small formal garden will be placed between the east wing of Carpenter Hall and the northwest wing of the library.

Sanborn House was presented to the College by the bequest of E. W. Sanborn '7B in memory of his father, E. D. Sanborn 1832, professor of Oratory and Belles Lettres, 1863-80; also Winkley, professor of AngloSaxon and English Language and Literature, 1880-82; Emeritus, 1880-82; librarian, 1866- 74. Sanborn House will contain a replica of Professor Sanborn's study which was formerly in Sanborn Hall.
