Dr. Bock Will Have New Offices and Eight Assistants in Original Enterprise

At 13 Holyoke St., next door to the Hygiene Building, the wary observer will notice that something new has been built out of something old. Where was the Big Tree swimming pool, which used to house the Harvard Dramatic Club, is now a modern medical building, with neat, well-furnished offices on both of its two floors.

The truth is that the Hygiene Department under the direction of Arlie V. Bock, Henry K. Oliver Professor of Hygiene, has expanded. Through the endowment provided by the Grant Foundation 13 Holyoke was remodeled during the summer to suit the requirements of Dr. Bock in connection with his intended study of the healthy Harvard man.
