West Gymnasium Donor List Envelope

Item Information

Title:
West Gymnasium Donor List Envelope
Description:
An envelope that contained a list of donors for the new gymnasium at the International YMCA Training School. The list includes the names of the donors, their locations and the amount of their donation. Of note on the list is a donation of $1 made by Laurence Doggett's (college President) children, Ruth and Clinton. The list was discovered in 2010 during an $8 million renovation to Judd Gymnasia, when a time capsule was uncovered in the West Gymnasium's corner stone. Judd Gymnasia was the first building erected on the new land purchased for the YMCA Training School, now Springfield College, along Massasoit Lake in Springfield, Massachusetts. Morrissey and Shea’s Corporation completed construction on the building in September of 1894 and it was formally opened on October 26, 1894. In 1910, trustees authorized the addition of a second gymnasium and swimming pool. The new gymnasium, completed in February of 1912, was designed by architect Edward Lippincott Tilton and known as West Gymnasium. Through the years it has undergone several name changes. The gymnasium was known as west gymnasium until 1953, when the trustees voted that it be named “The Judd Gymnasium”. In 1998 the Gymnasium was renamed the Ruth Evans Gymnasium and in 2010, the Gymnasium received its current name as the Student Union West. To view the list that came in this envelope see rg127-02-04-04-001; Series were added to this collection, changing the file name. File names of the uploaded files contain the old name;
