Description
Completed in 1920, the Georgian-style Memorial Gymnasium was constructed in memory of five alumni who had died in WWI. For years the lack of a proper gymnasium was seen as a drawback for the College, effectively curtailing enrollment. This represented Bernard Iddings Bell’s first major effort, declaring, in characteristically decisive terms, that “the College [could not] work properly, or even passively through another winter without a gymnasium and recreation building.”
