Radcliffe's Class of 1951 won't be around to hear hammer and saw on the college's next dormitory, Holmes Hall.
Construction on the building will not got under way until next June at least, officials said. Maids in Trowbridge House, site of Holmes Hall, received notice this week that they will not have to move from their quarters until the end of the year.
Members of the planning committee for the new dorm will go ahead drawing up blueprints, despite the present building boom. The Council of the College will then review estimates of costs and plans at the end of the spring term.
As originally planned, Holmes was to have been completed by the fall of '52. Construction of the new dormitory will raise the total number of undergraduates living on campus to roughly 85 percent. Holmes will house from 100 to 120 students, since all the rooms will be doubles.
