...canvass of undergraduates for contribution to the Swimming Pool Fund 1918 has not yet been asked to shoulder its part of the burden. Since the time before the close of college was not sufficient to make possible a complete canvass of this class, the members of which are remotely situated in Cambridge, the 1918 committee decided to postpone its collection...
Since 1918 alone has not had an opportunity to indulge its generosity, some arrangement might enable it to do so in the future. If the full amount necessary to construct the pool is not collected at the time when excavation should start, two feasible solutions present themselves: to place a mortgage upon the pool; or for the H. A. A. to present the amount lacking, if it is not too large. Then next fall, when the time is opportune, 1918 may contribute its share, either to help in paying off the mortgage, or to reimburse...
...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. This means that, were a pool installed in the Union and all students forced to join at the reduced figure of $6, the tank privileges alone would be worth practically the entire charge...
