Enrollment at the Yeshiva University’s Stern College for Women will exceed 600 when the college begins its new semester here tomorrow, Dr. Samuel Belkin, Yeshiva president, said today. The college opened in 1954 with a student body of 33.
An apartment-hotel, valued at $4,000,000, has been taken over by the college as dormitories for out-of-town students — about two-thirds of the enrollment — and a 113-year-old police station was acquired and completely remodeled to provide additional administrative space and classroom facilities.
