The first move was the sending of (Chatrman Thompson to Wurope to study the plans of foreign architecture, After @onsideradle labor the blue prints of the eriginal Roman Collseum were obtained ‘and it was finally decided to build along these snecifications, Then came the task of collecting a sulfictent sum ¢ Money from the alumni to proceed with the undertaking. This accomplished, Work was finally begun. Viettors at the recent Yale-Princeton game at Now Haven on passing into the Grounds could see inany workmen busily engaged digging just across the street. That was the breaking of ground for Yale's new palatial home, Additions) men have been employed this week and the job Is now progrossing at euch a eatiefactory clip that the stadium, bar- ring unexpected delays, will be in readi- hess for the Harvard game next season. ‘To mive one an idea of the immensity of the undertaking it is best to start at the task that confronts the large num- ber of laborers now at work. First of all, ground must be exca- yated In the same manner that one hol- lows the interior of an orange for the entire area that wil) be used for the Playing field and stands.
