Dormitory for Medical School

One of the chief disadvantages of student life at the Medical School has been the lack of social and dormitory life near the school buildings. Now, largely through the efforts of J. C. Warren '63, who has done so much in raising funds for the Medical School, plans have been drawn by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, which provide for a large dormitory fronting on one corner of the new Avenue Louis Pasteur, Brookline, and for a spacious club-house on the opposite corner. The dormitory will provide small suites for the needs of the men, at the rear of which will be an enclosed garden and tennis courts, surrounded by a wall or pergola. The club-house or Medical School Union will contain commons, a library, and facilities for indoor games. An important feature will be a hall large enough to accommodate five hundred to a thousand men, a facility which is now lacking. This will not only provide room for the more important lectures, but will give place for the meetings of the large delegations and organizations which make their headquarters at the Medical School.
