In 1898, however, when the space had become too crowded, all of the exercises, but the private ceremonies, were moved over to the Delta and held about the John Harvard Statue. They continued there until 1904, when the present Stadium exercises were inaugurated...

Extensive alterations at the Hemenway Gymnasium, Squash Courts, and Freshman Athletic Building have failed to meet the ever-growing need of additional indoor space. The only possible solution seems to be the erection of a new plant to supplement the existing facilities. Such a plant should include facilities somewhat similar to those found in the Hemenway Gymnasium and in addition, a modern swimming pool. It might very properly be planned almost exclusively for undergraduates...
