Columbia Gymnasium.

The Columbia crew has begun regular training in their new building. Hitherto the largest part of the work has been done in outside gymnasiums, but owing to the change in using the house of the former president for college purposes the crew will be enabled to train at the college. The trustees have appropriated some money towards making the basement of the house a sort of gymnasium headquarters, and the necessary changes were made at the end of the year. The small rooms have been turned into three or four large ones, and bathing facilities and about one hundred lockers have been provided. The boat club will occupy one of the largest rooms, in which rowing machines and lockers have been placed. There are also rooms for the tug-of-war team and the fencing club.
