£elia Hanson Pavilion Dedication ceremonies for the new Leiia Hynson Pavilion at the Washington Col- lege Boating Park took place on April 20th. The $115,000 facility, constructed with funds given Hynson by the Beneficial- Hodson Trust, is the first step in the reju- venation of the College ' s boathouse prop- erty. Now, instead of crossing the finish line at the foot of High Street, the crew teams will finish in front of the Pavilion. Among those participating in the dedica- tion were (inset) Beneficial-Hodson Trust Chairman Finn Caspersen, Mrs. Hynson, Board Chairman Louis L. Goldstein, Presi- dent Cater, and Trustee Christian Have- meyer. 1 -

At the same time, however, it shows an unwillingness on Cater ' s part to destroy tradi- tion. Whereas some college presidents might ' ve opted for the wrecking ball, Cater ' s plan reflects his attitude of preserving 1782. The renovation, costing somewhere near 1.4 mil- lion dollars, was partially funded by a grant from Benef icial-Hodson Trust, and will be re-named Cul- len Dormitory, after Thomas Cullen, a former member of Beneficial-Hodson ' s board of direc- tors. Although the project caused housing short- ages on campus, the new building is a source of pride for everyone.
