Princeton's New Infirmary.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The plans for the new Princeton infirmary, to be known as the Isabella McCosh Infirmary, have been lately approved and made public by the trustees. This building will fill a long-felt need at Princeton for cases of sickness among the students. The proposition to start a fund for an infirmary was made last year by Dr. Murray, the dean of the college. The $25,000 needed for the building has been raised, and $20,000 more will probably be subscribed as a fund for its support.

The main building will be 52 feet long, 40 feet wide, and two and a half stories high. In the basement will be the servants' quarters, dining room, bed-rooms, etc. The first floor will contain two large wards, private rooms, an operating room, a pharmacy, and nurses' and linen rooms. The second floor will have two more large wards and several private rooms. The kitchen and bath-rooms will be in a wing. Each floor will have a sun porch on the south side. The building will be heated by furnace heat and by open fires. The infirmary will be built of light colored stone and Flemish bricks.
