A new seven-story, $1, 500, 000 residence hall for men was dedicated by Yeshiva University today. The new dormitory this fall will house 300 students to alleviate crowded conditions in two other residence buildings.
The dedication exercises, which were attended by numerous educational, religious and civic leaders, featured addresses by Senator Jacob K. Javits and N. Y. State’s Lieutenant Governor, George B. DeLuca, who represented Governor Averell Harriman.
