Math-Psychology Center

PLANS for Dartmouth's new mathematics and psychology center have been approved by the Board of Trustees, and working drawings are now being completed by the Hanover architects, E. H. and M. K. Hunter. Construction is scheduled to start this summer, and the building is expected to be ready for use in the fall or early winter of 1961. This is one of the educational plant needs being financed by the Capital Gifts Campaign. A gift of $500,000 from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in honor of Dartmouth Trustee Albert Bradley '15 will largely finance construction of the building's mathematics unit, to be named the Albert Bradley Center for Mathematics and Mathematical Research.

The math and psychology units will each be four stories high and will be connected by a large lecture hall and glassed in passageways on the lower floors. The psychology unit will face Elm Street, just north of Baker Library, and will be located between Fairbanks Hall and the Dragon tomb. The mathematics unit, to the north, will be built in back of Clement Greenhouse.

The greenhouse, Fairbanks Hall and Elm House, which currently surround the site of the new structure, will eventually be demolished, but not until space elsewhere is found for the activities in these buildings.
