A wooden tripod has been erected over the well, by means of which the jointed sections of pipe are lowered.

The design is being made by Mr. Walter Cook '69, of New York. Although the precise plan has not yet been determined upon, it will probably consist of a central fountain and basin with stone seats on either side; the whole in consistency with the general design of the old buildings nearby...
