Plans for a New Dormitory.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

An option on the property bounded by Massachusetts avenue, Bow and Arrow streets, back of Quincy Hall, has been obtained by Messrs. H. M. Williams, G. E. Cabot and others. Plans have been drawn by Whitman and Hood of Boston for a new dormitory, to be erected on this property, and to be ready for tenancy in September, 1904. The plans provide for a structure of brick and limestone about a central court. The building will contain seventy-eight suites, and will be equipped with squash-tennis courts and a swimming pool. The dormitory will be named after President Langdon, whose term of office as executive of the College was 1774-1780.

Besides the option on this property, the company holds the right of buying Beck Hall, together with the adjacent ground, used at present for tennis and handball courts, with an eye to the ultimate enlargement of the building.
