During the winter months the gymnasium is used much more than at the other seasons of the year, and while during the spring and fall the shower-bath may answer all purposes, it certainly does not now. The room ought to be enlarged, or the addition of a shower bath built on the rear of the gymnasium, else it will practically be impossible to bathe between five and half-past five in the afternoons without getting out of all patience...
