Ground has been broken for the new Infirmary, the gift to Mr. James Stillman of New York. The contract has been awarded to Norcross Brothers, and the work of digging the foundations has already begun. The site now being built upon is a different piece of property from the land originally chosen. It was planned at first to build the Infirmary on Mt. Auburn street, between the Old People's Home and the Cambridge Hospital. Recently however, an arrangement has been made with the Cambridge Hospital by which the land was exchanged for a lot on Mt. Auburn street, to the east of the present Hospital buildings a sits much more advantageous for the Harvard Infirmary.
