…the Magazine’s
constant air of self-congratulation…
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Thanks for the fine photo spread (“Body
Building,” December/03) on the new Ratner Athletics Center.
One thing was missing though: where is it? Maps are very helpful
for us aging alums who’ve not been back to campus for a few
years.
During my time in the crew club we thanked our
lucky stars we could use the well-worn Bartlett Gym for “winter
workouts.” Henry Crown seemed like a spa. Ratner, from the
photos, reminds me of the facilities from my second alma mater,
Penn State.

I look forward to
“Chicagophile” every
time the Magazine arrives. But in the December/03 issue
the Alumni Association move description was quite startling—the
last time I saw the building in the final panel it was on 56th Street.
When did it move to 55th?

Whoops, and whoops. The Ratner Athletics
Center is at 55th Street and Ellis Avenue. The Alumni House is at
56th Street and Woodlawn Avenue, a short walk from the Ratner Center.—Ed.
