ptn Cetl) Vol. V No. 20 Both rented buildings proved less than satisfactory as classrooms. The elevator in the Gainsboro Building had a tendency to entrap faculty betw een floors. The class- rooms were also attractive to mice, rats, and other non- collegiate transients from a drugstore and restaurant on the lower floor. The Huntington Building classrooms fronted the avenue and trolley tracks. Several of the rooms had no windows and ventilation was provided by decreasingly effective skylights. The need to establish a campus with adequate facilities was felt simultaneously with the need to separate North- eastern from the YMCA. In 1922, the School ' s name was officially changed to Northeastern University, and in the same year three trustees were elected who weren ' t simul- taneously directors of the YMCA. At the same time, the trustees attempted always to make the school responsive to the changing needs of society. Having attained a viable status, it was necessary to confront some of the problems and challenges of existence. The Automobile School, begun in 1903 when the car was still an experimental marvel, was discontinued in 1926 when it became evident that society had accepted the auto. It was also clear that the space in the Botolph Building was urgently needed by the Engineering School.

Only three regulars of the Huntington team were available and so Dean Garner of the Business Administration School and E. T. Carlson on the Engineering Practice Department substituted in the Hun- tington lineup, and in fact were the outstanding players of the team. For the Engineering Faculty, outside of Whittakcr who substituted and held ground nobly, (and in fact could be moved from the spot where he rooted), the outstanding player the Dean who shot seven baskets did considerable running with the in his hands. For the Huntington Team as has been stated, Garner and Carlson, for- wards, covered the most ground, while Skinner who was busy nt guard posi- tion with Moore, was still busier when- ever Moore took a rest. Jones at cen- ter was the outstanding center of both teams and would be picked for the All-Faculty Team were such a team to be picked by an expert. He invari- ably touched the ball first but as the summary shows his efforts were of no vail. We must not forget the good work of Renker, captain of the varsity bas- ketball team, as lie was the score- keeper as well as the timer. He did well in both jobs. is expected that in the next con- between the two teams, if such a contest is to be, the Huntington School ill have its regular team in the lield, .nd the i : will probably be closi NEW REGULATIONS ADOPTED BY SCHOOL Before Holiday Classes to Close Early Tho following regulations have re- cently been adopted by the School of Engineering : 1.

KING HUSKY I, 1926-1941 Outlying branches of Northeastern had been developed between 1917 and 1920, in Worcester, Springfield, Provi- dence, New Haven, and Bridgeport. These schools mainly oifered courses for the law degree. As the Boston campus grew, these associations were gradually dropped, al- though four present-day institutions resulted: Worcester Junior College; Western New England College in Springfield; Roger Williams Junior College, in Provi- dence; and Bridgeport Engineering Institute. The student body was steadily increasing, and the need for buildings which had been desperate since 1920, made it imperative by 1930, to develop a building plan. The de- velopment of a separate facility would promote the sought-for separation from the YMCA, which had been marked in 1924 by the separation of the University finan- cial accounts from those of the YMCA. The University thus had its own funds to spend, and in 1929, the first parcel of land was bought from the Boston and Providence Railroad. The land was slightly over an acre in size, south of the YMCA main building, 300 feet back from the avenue, with no legal access to the street. It was, however meager, at least a beginning. The YMCA in 1930, transferred to Northeastern the, ownership of two acres of land between the street and the acre purchased by Northeastern the previous year. The YMCA tennis courts and a small handball building remained on the land for several years. It is now the site of Dodge Li- brary. The YMCA also transferred title to the Botolph Building and the land on which it stands. On Kent Street, in Brookline, a five-acre plot which had been used as an athletic field for several years, was purchased and a field house was erected. This of course, was to become Parsons Field.
