...foot-ball receive the detailed treatment they deserve. From the description of the new Gymnasium we find that the new structure is to be of brick with sandstone trimmings. It is intended to give the design the character of colonial architecture, so that it may harmonize with the old College buildings. The main hall will be finished up to the roof. The height will be 52 feet, the length 112, and the width from 63 to 80 feet. Special quarters are to be provided for the Crew and Nine, and nine bowling alleys will be placed in the basement...
