The newest addition to the dormi­ tories is located in the field in front of Balentine close by the road that is the south entrance to the campus. Not yet officially named by the Trustees, the dormitory has been designated New Dorm 3, it having been the third dormitory in the post­ war construction program. Planned as a women’s dormitory, it is for the present being used to accommodate the heavy enrollment of men. A dining room is not included, for Estabrooke and Balentine Halls were considered to provide ample facilities to care for the needs of New Dorm 3.
