In the military style prevalent at the time, both latrines featured an open row of toilets allowing no privacy. In the late fifties Camp Ranger Fred Foster was instructed to build plywood enclosures to separate the toilets.

When the Senior Camp was developed across the river a smaller latrine was built there, called “Princeton” in the sixties and later was referred to as "Parris Island". It was served by a well and pump not far from the lake shore.

When new camp sites were being opened, beginning in1955 with Ridgway, pit latrines were dug at each campsite, with a concrete slab and well-ventilated building for each one. During the winter Fred constructed many of those latrines in sections, in his workshop in the basement of the Training Center.  During the spring and fall work weekends we made concrete slabs with smooth bottoms and a large ring at one end, which Fred towed to their destinations with the camp truck.  Crews then assembled the pre-fabricated buildings on the slabs. Some of those slabs can still be seen at abandoned locations.

Eventually Harvard and Yale were removed and pumpable concrete pit latrines were built in the campsites.  "Yale" was removed first in 1963 and then "Harvard" a few years later after being use as a restroom for staff, leaders and guests.  Byrd cabin was moved out of Byrd campsite and now sits in the area where "Yale" was located.  The building that was once "Princeton" is now used for staff housing.
