Excerpt from Splinters, Vol. 1: December, 1900
How changed Rogers Hall is! You would say if you had been here three years ago, and had just come back for a little Visit.
Then, there were fences everywhere instead of four acres of Open space as now. There was one grass tennis court, no basket-ball court, no tether-ball poles, not even a place to practice golf. Now we have two tennis courts, one of clay, a splendid basket-ball court, three tether-ball poles and a three-hole golf course.
Rogers House was then occupied by Miss Rogers, who so kindly gave up her own home for the school; now it has two recitation rooms and the rest is used as students' sleeping rooms.
Beautiful copies of famous pictures are everywhere in evidence, where formerly were bare walls - very pretty walls to be sure - but then not half so interesting and ih structive as now.
