Thanks to the untiring efforts of Prof. Richards, of Yale, and to the unexpected success in collecting subscriptions, Yale's new gymnasium will soon be a reality. Mr. A. M. Dodge, Yale '74, the chairman of the committee in charge of collecting the necessary funds, announces that $110,000 have already been subscribed for the new gymnasium and $10,000 have been pledged by graduates. To secure additional subscriptions a letter has been issued to graduates in New York and from this it is hoped a large sum will result. As yet no building plans have been accepted, but so much is certain: the new gymnasium will be on the corner of Elm and High streets, opposite the Peabody Museum, and will be completed by January 1, 1890.
