In the older parts of the House, Adams boasts the University's largest suites and most so its few bathtubs. Grouped on the uptown side of Mt. Auburn Street between the CRIMSON office and the Lampoon edifice, all the entries of Adams are only a minute from the Yard, a true boon for late risers...

Last year, wrestling drew the third largest number of spectators, and was one of the very few sports which helped offset the huge H.A.A. deficit.
