Sayles Gym Dedicated

In 1907, the new Sayles Gymnasium (now Smith-Buonanno Hall) opened for the use of female students. The building’s facilities included a track, a bowling alley and a “resting room.” Among wider efforts to create a separate women’s culture at the college, the development of physical education was seen as key to attracting a broader range of students.
