cJla ikintan eMail Mrs. Harriman, Housemother Harriman Hall was named in honor of the late Dr. W. P. Harriman, who was for many years a member of the Board of Trustees of Cedarville College. The purchase of the house and lot was made possible in part through the generosity of friends of Dr. Harri- man. During the first part of the school year Mrs. Harriman was the housemother, but because of ill- ness she was unable to continue her work. Mrs. An- derson of Xenia finished out the year as housemother. During the second semester the dormitory has housed fifteen girls. It has given the out of town girls a convenient place to stay. However, the dorm has not been just a place to stay but rather a place in which girls learn to live together harmoniously. The learning to adjust oneself to the ways of others is truly an education in itself. In addition to being a home for college girls, the dorm has served as a social center as well. The Chi Sigma Phi Sorority has found it an ideal place for their meetings. The Y.W.C.A. has also used the dorm for its teas. It isn't easy to estimate the true worth of a dorm- itory. Harriman Hall has been a great help not only to the college but to the girls themselves. Page Tcn
