SITE OF NEW GYM AND POOL CHANGED TO ORIGINAL SPOT

The new University swimming pool, gymnasium, and locker building will definitely be constructed on the site of the present Freshman Athletic plant, it was announced last night by W. J. Bingham '16, Director of Athletics.

The advisability of locating it on Soldiers Field, where athletes coming in from other sports might avail themselves of the pool, was considered, but was rejected on the grounds that the new building should have a more central location.

Construction on the pool unit will be begun sometime during the summer in accordance with the conditions of two two gifts amounting to $350,000, made this winter by anonymous donors. It is expected that the pool will be ready for use by next winter, in which case Harvard may have its first swimming team during the 1928-29 season.
