WOODEN YARD PUMP WILL BE RESTORED FOR 300TH FETE

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Alumni requests for the restoration of the old wooden pump which stood in the Yard have been taken note of by University officials and it will be set up in its original form as a Tercentenary celebration feature. The pump stood approximately opposite the north entry of Hollis Hall and was constantly used by students until 1901 when it was blown up by dynamite and completely demolished.

However, the source of water for the new pump will not be a well as formerly, but a Cambridge water main, and the old tin drinking cup will be replaced by a modern "bubbler", controlled by the pump handle.
