Improvements at Dartmouth.

The Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital which was begun at Dartmouth over two years ago will be dedicated May 3rd. The building has been completed at a cost of $150,000 and is said to be the finest of its kind in America. It consists of the main building 42 by 60 feet and two wings or pavilions. The operating theatre is thirty-four feet square and has accommodation for one hundred and twenty-five students. The building is surrounded by about fifteen acres of sloping fields and consequently has the best of sanitary conditions.

Among the other improvements that will be made at Dartmouth will be the erection of a chemical laboratory as soon as the site and the architectural details have been settled upon and also the erection of Butterfield Hall on the site of the old Rood House. The old Dartmouth Hall will either be torn down and a new one erected in its place or else be entirely remodelled as Culver Hall will be.

The State has given the college its share in the last named building and also voted the college an annuity of $7,500 for two years.
