Littauer School Works in Hunt Hall While New Building Plans Are Rushed

While work on the plans for the new group of buildings at Holmes Square on Massachusetts Avenue, which will include the Graduate School of Public Administration, is being rushed, the School itself is assembling its staff for the year's work, it was learned yesterday.

No further information on the specific plans of study for the year were forthcoming at its temporary headquarters in Hunt Hall yesterday. Conferences with Government officials last March when the School officially opened will be continued this year.

First students next fall

Next fall students will be taken in, but at first only those who are already serving in some form of governmental activity. They will probably be drawn from the junior ranks of the Federal Governments as well as from state and municipal officials.

The new physical units at Holmes Sq., when finished will contain the Graduate School of Public Administration, the gift of Lucius N. Littauer '76, and twelve new squash courts for graduate students. Gannett House, a building from 1830, and used for some of the Law School's offices will stand between the two new buildings.

This summer it was moved about a hundred feet east of its old location, no small journey for a hundred year old, house, and turned at right angels to face Massachusetts Avenue.

Littauer School must wait

The squash courts are to be built where Gannet House formerly stood. Until these are ready for use, work on the Littauer School cannot be begun, Aldrich Durant '02, Business Manager of the University said yesterday, for it would leave no places for the Graduate students to exercise.

Plans for the squash courts are being rushed to completion, however, and he expects that ground will be broken in the early spring. After that, the Hemenway Gymnasium will razed and work started on the new building which will be finished as soon as possible. Until then the Graduate School of Public Administration will be located in Hunt Hall.
