In his version of the poem, Lynch talks about where its history, what was done there, and, in particular, the many Alum and Faculty members who worked and played under its roof. In the letter, he also asked about the bronze plaques and other memorabilia that was housed in the old Field House.The Memorial Field House used to be a drill hall of the Navy, and Springfield College qualified for it from the Federal Work Agency in 1946. The government disassembled and transported the building to Springfield College. The field house was opened on February 21, 1948. On that day the first basketball game was held in the new arena, with Springfield College playing Providence College. William R. Chase, a member of the first group of men to play basketball in 1891, tossed the ceremonial first ball. The building was divided into three sections: the Gymnasium area, the Arena area, and the Class and Game room area. The Gymnasium area was 140 x 80 feet of permanent maple flooring and could accommodate 5 volleyball, or 9 badminton, or 3 basketball courts, or some combination of the three courts. The Arena area comprised 230 feet of open earth surface for field events and had the ability up to
accommodate 4000 spectators at public events and basketball games. The building was demolished in 1979 due to the fact that the wood arch could not meet minimum building code requirements. A new Physical Education Complex replaced the Memorial Field House, and was formally dedicated on October 30, 1981
