ANNA COMSTOCK HOUSE IS NEWEST UNIVERSITY DORMITORY FOR UNDERGRADUATE WOMEN Extensively remodelled, newly decorated and furnished, the former Faculty Apartments at 5x0-1.2. Thurston Avenue now house seventy-eight Freshmen and Juniors. Mostly they live three and four together in suites of studies, bedrooms, and bath, and all take their meals in the dining room of Prudence Risely Hall across the street. The building, pictured on our cover, is named for Mrs. Anna Botsford Comstock '85, artist, writer, and teacher at the University until her death in 1930.
