The Ithaca Journal, Oct 10 1946, P. 3, Cols. 2-4

Extracts:
"Cornell University prepared today for the impact Friday and Saturday of registrations estimated at 9,200 -— far above any previous year.
Of this total 5,200 will be veterans of the armed forces.
   Rough estimates indicate that 2,200 will be returning Cornell veterans, 4,700 continuing students, 1,300 freshmen, and 1,000 graduate students.

  Temporary Housing to Be Used
  To house the students in excess of the usual prewar registration which rose to nearly 7,000 in 1941, temporary housing will be used. The Baker Dormitories barracks originally scheduled to house 496 students, will accommodate 645. All married veterans assigned to East Vetsburg and Tower Rd. projects will live at East Vetsburg without their families at present. East Vetsburg will take care of 200 veterans.
  Clara Dickson Hall, a permanent dormitory for women, will house 243 students, and capacities of other regular dormitories have been increased up to 20 per cent. Some students will be accommodated in Olin Hall and the Infirmary.
  The housing problem became more acute when fire Tuesday destroyed five units, designed to accommodate 60 men students each, on the Kline Rd. project. These units will be replaced, but temporary accommodations will have to be used for several additional months."

"Housing Unit Turned Over to University.
  In a brief ceremony on the steps of one of the barracks of the Baker Dormitory site at 4:45 p.m. Wednesday, the eight barracks of that unit were officially turned over to University officials by the Border Constructión Company in the presence of FPHA officials.
  David M. Hannah, partner in the Border Construction Company, presented the contractual papers for the signature of Hugh E. Weatherlow, superintendent of buildings and grounds. The barracks were secured through the FPHA and erected here by the Border Company.
  Witnesses to the ceremony were J. Frank Savoye, chief building inspector for Region 2 of the FPHA; Benjamin J. Grene, FPHA bujlding inspector for the project; M. R. Shaw, manager of Cornell's Office of Residential Halls; and James W. Driscoll, general manager of veterans' housing at Cornell.
  The eight barracks were designed to accommodate 496 students, but because of the need for additional places because of the loss by fire of the Kline Rd. barracks, 645 will be housed during the present emergency by intensive doubling-up."
