copied painstakingly, even to the detail of the wroLight ' iron bars on the windows, the Tudor design of the older portion of the house. So perfect was the imitation that it won an archi- tectural award. While the addition was being made to the Faculty House, Father Bunn and the Rev. Law- rence C. Gorman, S.J., then Dean of Studies, determined to install a swimming pool in the basement of the gymnasium. Since the comple- tion oi the gymnasium in 1925, there had been sporadic attempts to complete the construction of a swimming pool but with no success. For almost fifteen years, a gaping hole in the earth marked the site of the present-day swimming pool and recreation room. In 19.40, the pool was constructed by Mr. John T. Malone under Father Gorman’s supervision. The pool is constructed ot huft tile and has a hyper-chlorinated filtration system, the safest yet devised. The war stopped any further expansion of campus facilities. In order to satisfy the needs of the large student body, a complete new cafeteria system was installed last Fall. Just completed are three temporary one-story buildings which will serve as classrooms and additional offices. These are former Navy administration buildings and were obtained through the Meade Act. They are placed between the Faculty House and the present Garrett estate. Swimming Pool 25

New Wing of the Faculty Residence, 1939 cect for the Kate Key Jenkins Library Building. Marvilla marble was again used in construction and limestone facings were added. The corner- stone was laid on June ii, 192S. By May of 1929, the building was complete and fully equip- ped. Archihishop Curley dedicated the new build- ing on June 10, 1929. This addition to the college provided nine lecture rooms, additional office space and a cafeteria. The entire third floor was devoted to the library. An appeal was made for more books and within a short time the number of volumes totalled 28,000. This has since increased to 36,000. The library can also be used for lectures to small groups and minor dramatic productions. During the next ten years, no addition was made to the campus. The student enrollment, however, increased steadily and more faculty members were required in residence. In 1939, The Very Rev. Edward B. Bunn, S.J., present Rector of the College, decided that a new wing would have to be added to the Faculty Residence. Mr. Lucien E. D. Gaudreau was commissioned as architect. In order not to mar the architectural beauty of the original mansion, he was required to duplicate exactly and in proportion the con- struction materials and the design used when the mansion was built. Mr. Gaudreau ordered the stone from Waymuth, Massachusetts, where the original supply of stone had been quarried, bde 24
