YARD ROOM IMPROVEMENTS

The work of alteration in Hollis and Stoughton Halls has been carried on through the summer and is now nearly complete. Every room is furnished with hot water heating apparatus, and with hot and cold running water. On each floor in both entries, occupying the present bed-room space at the ends of the halls, a set of shower baths and lavatories has been installed; while porcelain bath tubs have been placed in the basements. In order to permit of bath room facilities on the first floor as well as the others, the west entry stairways have been modified to correspond with those in the east entries.

Densmore and LeClear of Boston are now making some alterations in the heating and ventilating plant in Sever Hall. All the old boilers have been taken out and three new 66-inch boilers put in, for heating both Sever Hall and Emerson Hall. An electric generator has also been installed; which will run ventilating fans in Sever, Robinson and Emerson Halls.
