The foundation was laid in 1909. In 1911 a superstructure was built to fulfil the needs for a place to hold physical education classes. In 1917, a maple floor was laid. In 1924 the building was veneered with stone on three sides. In 1931 work was started on the final completion of the building, but funds gave out and only the shower rooms could be put in. There remains only the plunge to be in- stalled before the building is completed. The Phvoifal Education department is the only department allowed tw use the building. The one exception to this rule is in the production of the Music Schools Light Upera each vear when a stage, equal in size to a full theatre stage, is built in the west end.

B 1 Winter Time Page Twenty Lawn Party Kimball Hall, GirI's Dormitory Kix1B.aLL HALL, thc girls' dormitory, is the oldest dormitory on the campus. It was completed in 1918. The lawn about this huilfling is one of the prettiest spots on the campus in summer or in winter. The great variety of trees about the building lend a pleasing tone to the grey sand-stone walls. The Club Room in the basement serves as a meet- ing place for several clubs on the campus including the Alphas. the girls literary society, the Polytechnic VVoman's Club, the Dramatic Club and others. The basement con- tains a classroom and kitchen for the Home Economics course. The parlor on the first floor serves as a reception room where the young people can entertain their friends. The dormitory has its own heating plant in the basement. It will house sixty girls. two in at room, and has a large guest room on the third floor.
