Carpenter Hall Now Opened To Navy Supply Corps Class

Carpenter Hall, newest acquisition of wartime Harvard, is now being occupied by 600 men of the Naval Supply Corps. Construction of the red-trimmed, gray classroom building, shadowing Briggs Cage in Soldiers Field, was started late in April and was completed six weeks later in record time to fulfill the present schedule of graduating 300 men every ten weeks.

Carpenter Hall has been named in honor of the late Rear Admiral John Slaughter Carpenter, Supply Corps. U. S. Navy. Admiral Carpenter, in addition to other innovations, founded and conducted the Navy's first Supply Corps School in 1921.
