...indications of the postcard campaign predict that the Gymnasium Fund will be available in financing the Union Swimming Pool. Since 1918 and 1919 have not yet contributed, it seems reasonable to expect that they will preserve the standard set by preceding classes. Their obligation to give liberally is particularly binding, for they will be able to use the pool for three years...
With the eyes of the University turned toward the prospective Union swimming pool, it is interesting to look into the conditions of a similar tank at Yale, whose swimming team has enjoyed such a successful season in contrast to the failure of the University aggregation. The Yale tank, which is 75 feet long by 30 wide, although housed in a building of its own, receives no sunlight from overhead, a sufficient quantity penetrating the fairly large side windows. Absolutely no chemicals are used in the water, as the pool is kept sanitary by pumping in fresh water at the rate...
...number of men using the tank daily is never under 300 and the average is considerably higher. Its use is compulsory only for freshmen taking gymnasium work. The charges are 15 cents a swim or $5 a season.

...swimming pool for the Union needs only money to become a reality. Some of this has already come from private subscription and more is expected with the permission to use the Gymnasium fund. 1918 and 1919 have not yet done their share. The appointment of a committee signifies that they will be given an opportunity. With the prospect before them of being able to use the pool themselves before they graduate, their response is certain to be generous...
