warner Gymnasium in 1912 HE MAIN portion of VVarner Gymnasium was completed in the Fall of 1001, at a total cost of 845,000 for construction and equipment. Rather than provide a building so small that it was likely soon to be outgrown, it seemed wise at that time to erect at once enough of the entire structure planned to afford the accommodations immediately demanded, closing the north end with a temporary brick wall, and leaving the balance--one-fourth of the ultimate frontage of one hundred and fifty feet-to be added at some later period. In the light of experience the decision was a fortunate one, for within the ten years follow- ing the total number of students in all departments who made use of the gymnasium increased from three hundred and seventy-four to five hundred and seventy-seven, and the entire enrolment in the director's office, including pupils in the High School and Business College and others not connected with Oberlin College, rose from four hundred and thirty-three to six hundred and fifty-one, a growth of fifty per cent. in the attendance. On February QS, 1911, President King announced to the student body that Dr. and Mrs. Warner had added to their original gift of 850,000 the sum of 5B40,000, to make possible the completion of the gymnasium and to provide further endow- ment. Painstaking revision of former plans and specifications was at once begun by the architects, Patton and Miller, of Chicago, and it was decided to make whatever alterations and improvements in the older portion a decade of use had suggested, so that throughout the building every detail might conform to the same high standard of convenience and efficiency. The first contracts were let August 10th. During the latter half of that month work was actually under way. and practically completed by the end of March, 10193, with the exception of various odds and ends which could be attended to without interfering with the free use of all parts.
