Columbia's Gymnasium.

In February, Columbia will open her new gymnasium which has cost $500,000. The building includes an exercise hall 170 feet long by 130 feet wide, a handball room, a room for boxing and wrestling, and a swimming and rowing tank which is the best equipped in the world. This tank is semi-circular in form, with a diameter of 100 feet and a depth of from five to ten feet. Electric lights, protected by plate glass and placed on the bottom will illuminate the water in the tank. The crew will use this tank for indoor practice.
