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.
Did not know that... guess I should be paying more attention to the alumni mails. :doh: Don't know if it was still there, but there used to be a painting of a cartoonish bear churning water on the far wall. A Harvard student was inspired to draw it for the newspaper after a particular water polo match ("Bruins Swim Over Harvard") and did such a good job that it became the official Brown swimming and water polo t-shirt design.
I was impressed by the Yale pool. With the intense spotlight and dark colliseum seats, it seemed like a place for a secret Tribunal to make judgements.
