NEW GYM. SOON READY

HAS SWIMMING POOL

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Winter athletic facilities for students in the University will soon be provided for, according to an announcement yesterday by Dr. D. A. Sargent, director of the Hemenway Gymnasium. The former Randolph squash courts on Linden street are to be converted into a gymnasium which will be at the disposal only of those in the College and Graduate Schools. Under this arrangement the Randolph Courts will serve merely as a substitute for the Hemenway Gymnasium, which is now serving as a barracks for the cadets of the Naval Radio School. The University has had no gymnasium facilities since last summer, when the Hemenway Building was turned over for the use of the radio men.

For the purposes required, the squash courts will need but little remodeling in order to turn them into a good gymnasium. The building contains a swimming pool, indoor tennis courts, hand-ball courts, in addition to locker facilities. All of this equipment will be ready for use by members of the University some time in the near future. Details of the new arrangement for indoor athletics, together with the date for the opening of the building and for the formation of gymnastic classes, will be announced later.

The Randolph squash courts were a part of the privately owned property which the University obtained during the summer of 1916.
