In the words of a Brown Daily Herald editorial of October 10, 1925: While the new stadium is not the biggest, its novel design warrants its being called among the most efficient.

Mr. White is said to have had the original idea on location and to have helped interest the principal benefactors, the Aldrich brothers.
