'Cliffe Dedicates Jordan Co-Ops With Ceremony Held in Garden

Radcliffe College dedicated the Wilbur K. Jordan co-operative houses yesterday afternoon in a brief ceremony held in the garden at 95 Walker St. Among those attending were President Mary I. Bunting, Mrs. Frederick W. Hilles, chief donor of the buildings, and Wilbur K. Jordan, former President of Radcliffe, pictured above.

"These beautiful and gracious buildings will serve the college importantly in the years to come," Jordan declared. He praised the co-operative living system for enabling students to reduce the cost of their college educations.

In honor of the occasion, Mrs. Hilles planted a pycorantha (flaming thorn) bush in the garden. Mildred P. Sherman, Dean of College Relations; Mrs. Jordan; and Mr. and Mrs. Carleton Granberry, the architects who designed the buildings, each provided a shovelful of dirt.
