HEMENWAY GYMNASIUM WILL RE-OPEN IN FALL

CLOSED IN 1934 FOR FINANCIAL REASONS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Hemenway Gymnasium will be reopened next September for the year 1936-37 on account of the demand which has been expressed for it since it was closed to general use in June, 1934, because of budget difficulties.

The Gymnasium is on Cambridge Street, across from Phillips Brooks House, and was used during 1934-35 by students in the Law School and only for restricted periods. This arrangement turned out to be an unnecessary bother, and the building has been closed this college year.

The decision was reached by the Harvard Athletic Association with the approval of University Hall.

Freshmen and Graduates

The building will provide opportunities for exercise for Law School and other graduate students and for various Freshman indoor sport teams.

Hemenway was seriously considered in December, 1934, together with Memorial Hall, as a successor to Phillips Brooks House as the Commuter Center.
