More than 1,000 persons attended the cornerstone laying ceremony here yesterday for Mount Sinai Hospital’s new $3,000,000 Research and Professional Services Building.
One of the high points of the ceremony was the presentation of a $1,000,000 check by Mr. A.G. Ballenger, president of the Jewish Federation of Chicago, representing the initial payment of approximately $2,500,000 allocated to this project by the Federation’s Hospital Building Funds.
