THE NEW DORMITORY was completed in 1923 and housed both student and graduate nurses in the 132 single rooms. Room and board was still an integral part of the nurse's salary. The students furnished a recreation room and roof garden on the sixth floor. A student recreation room was also provided on the third floor of the Stewart Residence, although this building had become the home of supervisory personnel.
