PLANS FOR THE POOL.

The CRIMSON has obtained from the architect, Mr. Kellogg, a plan for the proposed Union swimming pool which would answer the objections raised regarding moisture and lack of sunlight. The drawing, a cut of which appears in another column, shows, moreover, a decided improvement in the appearance of the Union. The old bandstand, the purpose of which even the oldest living graduate cannot divine, would be replaced by a solid porch over the pool; and this might be equipped with awnings for reading and lounging in good weather. As regards the "Union problem," the fact that at Yale about six hundred men pay five dollars each to use the pool, raises a presumption that men not now members would be willing to pay ten dollars for the pool plus the other attractions of the Union. It is the strong wish of undergraduates that the Corporation and the Union authorities may see their way to giving effect to this plan.
