CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS During the summer a great deal of time and
labor was expended on the improvement of
the lower campus athletic field. It is now more than double the size of the old one, and when the excavation work is completed, will assume the form of a huge semi-circular bowl, the finest and largest in the Northwest. The new part has already been seeded and rolled so as to be in condition for use by next spring.
The grounds surrounding the new Bennet Hall have also been leveled and a new road was constructed. West of the Gymnasium a new tennis court has been put into perfect playing condition for the use of the Junior students of St. Anselm's Hall. Along the road south of the Abbey, along the lake, the novices are constructing a terraced gravel walk, which considerably enhances the beauty of the cemetery boulevard.
A new bath house has been constructed on the north shore of Lake Saga-tagan by the clerics. This building has been designed by Fr. Angelo, O.S.B., and is constructed of rubble-stone. The little turret over the entrance gives the building a very pleasing and artistic appearance. The interior will have over thirty individual bath-stalls, with complete draining system, drying racks, and footbaths.
BENNET HALL The beginning of the school year also marked the formal opening of the modern, fireproof residence hall which has been erected at an approximate cost of $150,000. The opening of the Hall, named in honor of St. Benedict, marks another step in the expansion program of the University. The building ranks as one of the most modern and most beautiful residence halls of Northwestern colleges.
