I believe the photo on the left dates from the late 1930s. The photo on the right dates from about late August 2020.

I had to open the left photo separately to appreciate it. Too much cropped in the tweet as shown here. Baseball/football layouts look consistent with the Ted Williams photo

Empty fields and stands...pretty accurate.

No Kimball, BUT, there IS a smokestack! I suspect that may have been for a small steam heating plant.

According to Fr. K's book, Kimball was started in August 1933. So I checked the first edition of the Tomahawk after that, October 3, 1933. There is a story on the new dining hall on page 5 which in part reads So I imagine the stack at least provided a lot of hot water for the laundry, but based on the height of that stack a steam plant for the college (or even just Alumni & Carlin) makes sense. But if it was for a steam plant, it would have been replaced when Kimball was built. See page 5 here for the full story on the start of construction on Kimball college.holycross.edu/departments/archives/exhibits/crusader/crusader_pages/1920s-1930s/10-03-1933.pdf

I was fascinated to learn that Father Dolan, the new President of Holy Cross, was chosen by the Father General of the Society of Jesus in Rome, not by the college Board of Directors (if there was one). My, how times have changed in 90 years.

Definitely a time in the past with the cigarette and tobacco advertisements in the paper.

And for those who might be interested, check out the "Purple Pennings" column which states how big the football team was:
Line averaging a huge 194 pounds and the backfield 171.5 pounds, "the heaviest in recent years".
