BALLANTINE GYMNASIUM.-By the generosity of Robert F. Ballantine, Esq., of Newark, N. J., a Trustee of the College, a building was completed in 1891, which affords unexcelled opportunities for physical instruction and exercise, and for military instruction and drill. This Gymnasium is situated on spacious grounds given to the College by another Trustee, James Neilson, Esq., of New Brunswick. The building is in two parts, the front portion being devoted to purposes of administration, and the rear, the gymnasium and drill-room proper. Ample offices are provided for the instructor in military science and the instructor in physical culture. The gymnasium and drill-room combined afford an unobstructed space one hundred feet by sixty in dimensions. The apparatus is of the most approved kind, and was chosen by the director of one of the best systems of physical instruction in the country. Suspended from the truss-roof is a running-track two hundred and eighty feet in length. Space is also afforded for the armory of the Scientific School. On the one side of the administration building is a large room for lockers, on the other side a room for military equipments. On the floor above, apartments are provided suitable for all the uses incident to these purposes. In the basement are a swimmingtank, shower and needle baths, a ball cage and four bowling-alleys of perfect construction. The building is a fine specimen of the colonial style of architecture. ATHLETICS.-In order to secure for the students the benefits of out-of-door exercise, athletic sports are encouraged by the provision of adequate facilities. Rightly controlled, such sports have shown themselves beneficial both to the health of the students and to the quality of the work done, and are manifestly in the interest of good order. The more prominent athletes have been generally among the more earnest and successful students. The proper control of athletics has been secured by the organization of an incorporated athletic association, supported by the students and managed by a board of nine trustees, chiefly composed of resident alumni. In this board the Faculty has always had one or more representatives, and in this way a cordial co-operation has been steadily maintained between Faculty and students, avoiding the need for the exercise of direct authority. THE NEW ATHLETIC FIELD. By the generosity of James Neilson, Esq., of New Brunswick, an alumnus and Trustee of the College, there is now provided an athletic field, containing more than five acres and at a walking distance of about eight minutes from the College campus. About five thousand dollars were spent in improving this field and providing proper accommodations. It is furnished with a commodious grand stand, with dressing-rooms and bath-rooms attached, and with everything to make it as nearly perfect as possible and to render it practically useful to the students.
