Altora called a great panacea for off campus housing
Miss Madeline Jenkins, director of college activities, says the Altora at 616 West 116 Street is a major fix for off campus housing. She notes improvements from regulatory changes and the Altora acquisition, with 200 names on initial housing list and more than 300 expected after supplements. Barnard capacity in Johnson and Whittier Halls is reduced to 21 and 19 due to higher enrollment in Teachers College.
