SHORTAGE OF ROOMS BECOMES ACUTE

The shortage of rooming facilities in Hanover which began two years ago and which has continued despite every effort to check it has assumed this year greater proportions than ever before. Even with the incoming freshman class restricted to 450 dormitory rooms the congestion resulting from an unprecedented demand for such rooms has necessitated the taking over by the College of the building on the corner of College and Lebanon streets, formerly known as The Commercial Hotel and at an earlier date as "Sibling's Opera House." This building will be remodeled and renovated by the College for use as a dormitory throughout the coming year and will accommodate between 60 and 70 men.
