"Now that we are in agreement that Dartmouth is a great place..."
I went to Brown. One of my most vivid memories of my college years is going to a Brown vs. Dartmouth hockey game in Hanover. Between the game's periods, the fine young gentlemen of the Dartmouth fraternities would reach over the glass as the zamboni went by to scoop up ice shaved from the rink which they would then fashion into ice balls that they subsequently used to pelt the Brown Marching Band (skating band actually) as it skated onto the ice to perform. Being in that band was treacherous!
Brown unveiled a state of the art pool in 1973 that hosted the NCAA's a couple of years later. The pool complex had a beautiful wooden roof/ceiling. Last year the entire complex had to be torn out as no dehumidification system was built into the complex. As such, thirty years of excessive and (probably) chlorinated humidity rotted out the roof/ceiling creating a dangerous hazard. A temp pool is currently being built until a new complex can be built next year.
I remember swimming there for YMCA New England Championships in the late 70's. It was a fast pool then.
Here in Savannah we are having the roof replaced, the old bubble is gone and a wooden roof is being installed. We hope to have the pool open in the next month or two. I hope we don't end up with this problem in 30 years.:doh:
