PALMER MEMORIAL STADIUM SAFE

After securing reports from several eminent engineers, the authorities of Princeton University have been relieved to learn that the creaks which appeared in their new $300,000 Palmen Memorial Stadium are of no importance. Some weeks ago visitors at the stadium were astonished to see running down the stands fissures which seemed to indicate that the structure was in danger of falling down.

The Fuller Construction Company hastened to report that these were merely "expansion cracks," account of which must be taken in the building of all large concrete structures. the university to be absolutely certain summoned several engineers form New York and Philadelphia to Inspect the stadium. They verified the report that there was no structural weakness. In addition to this tests were made which indicates that the stands were capable of bearing as great a burden as they were planned to sustain when built.

The Palmer Memorial Stadium was built two years ago, being formally opened at the Princeton-Dartmouth football game of 1914. The concrete work alone was done at a cost of $300,000, the gift of Edgar Palmer of the class of 1903.
