During the summer a number of new buildings have been completed. The addition to Westmorly Court, containing twenty-eight suites, is now ready for occupancy and is finished with the exception of the terrace. It is built in the same style as the main building and has many new attractive features. The main hall, which is handsomely finished with Indiana limestone and quartered oak, has a large stone mantel with pillars carved to represent the different athletics of the University. Red and white tiles are used for the flooring. In the basement are two good squash courts and a swimming tank, forty feet long, twenty-nine feet wide and seven feet deep.

Among the improvements to Randolph Hall are an addition to the Plympton street side containing twelve suites, and two new handball courts.

Hampden Hall, which is now entirely completed, is six stories high and contains fifty suites, twenty double and thirty single. On the ground floor are stores and a cafe. The building is equipped with an elevator and a telephone service.

With the exception of a few little trimmings, Drayton Hall is entirely finished. There are twenty suites.

At the rear of Boylston Hall a laboratory eighty-five feet long and thirty-three feet wide has been added to the basement. It will hold two hundred and seventy-six people, and has eight double and two single benches, and fourteen sinks. There is gas and an electric motor in connection with the laboratory.

The Germanic Museum will be finished in about two weeks. The upper story has been removed in order that the building may consist of one large room. All partitions have been taken away and a new flooring is being put down. The interior will have to be cleansed and painted before the different objects for exhibition can be arranged.

A three story addition, thirty-six feet long by thirty feet wide, has been added to the south end of the brick building at the Astronomical Observatory. It will be used for storing and examining photographic plates. There are two rooms on the ground floor, one on the second floor, and two on the top floor.

Nothing has been done at the Semitic Museum this summer with the exception of some work on the furniture and cases, which will be finished in about two weeks. The building will be used at once for lectures, but the exhibitions will not be in place for two months. Fifty cases of material are now in the basement waiting to be opened. They contain casts of Assyrian monuments; mummy cases and antiques from Egypt; bronze, silver and gold ornaments from Palestine and Syria; costumes from Syria; and pottery and glass ware from Palestine.
