Thanks to the wonderful Kahn/Wolfe family for that donation. Have been a friend of Andi since kindergarten.
Happy to see that the external architecture of the new dorm is consistent with the rest of dorms on main campus (I was in Mosher-Jordan and Stockwell in the late 60s). I was so grateful that I wasn’t stuck in one of the newer (at that time) buildings that had NO personality or sense of belonging, eg. Markley. Coming from a poor family, I always said that Stockwell was the classiest place I ever lived, and STILL say it!
