Thanks to the generous bequest of John W. Sterling Y'64 and the helpful co-operation of his trustees, we have been enabled to begin the first of the new buildings to supply dormitory needs for Freshmen. This is the structure about to be erected on Elm St. between York and High. It will be impossible to complete the central portion until the new gymnasium is erected and we can take down the old one. This, we trust may be possible in the very near future...
