McKINLOCK HALL TO BE DEDICATED THIS AFTERNOON

McKinlock Hall, the latest of the Freshman Halls to be erected along the Charles River, will be dedicated at 3 o'clock today. A program of exercises will be held in the McKinlock quadrangle at which the speakers will be President Lowell, Dean C. N. Greenough '98, General R. E. Summerall, the general of the division in which George Alexander McKinlock Jr. '16 served on the western front in the World War, and Dr. William Greenough Thayer, Headmaster of St. Mark's School, where McKinlock took his preparatory course for Harvard.

Mr. and Mrs. George Alexander McKinlock of Chicago, who gave the dormitory to the University in memory of their son, will be present at the ceremony. George Alexander McKinlock Jr. '16 was killed in action in France on July 21, 1918.

Work was begun on the memorial dormitory on August 27, 1925. The class of 1930 is the first Freshman class to occupy the building, which accommodates 150 students. McKinlock Hall is the only one of the first-year dormitories that lacks a dining-hall, the space ordinarily occupied by the dining hall and common room being given up to two libraries, one of which contains most of the text books required for History 1, the introductory course in that department taken by most of the entering class each year. The other library, primarily designed as a reference for English A, provides a general reading-room similar to the Farnsworth Room in its scope and character.

All Freshmen living in the dormitory itself, and about 40 classmates and personal friends of George Alexander McKinlock's as invited guests will be admitted to the ceremonies this afternoon.
