THE NEW ZETA BETA TAU HOUSE Opened this fall, Cornell's newest fraternity home stands on the brow of Deadhead Hill, below Stewart Avenue and overlooking the valley above Percy Field. Constructed in the Old English style, the house will accommodate twenty-one men, in addition to a suite for returning alumni. This suite, together with living and dining rooms, occupies the first floor, with the upper two floors arranged for undergraduate quarters. The architects were Buchmann and Kahn of New York, with Professor Clarence A. Martin '88 as resident architect, and the contractors were the Ward Kurz Company, of Ithaca. The retoucher provided grass but no walk. 274 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS
