The name of a man known to all members of the Class of 1933 has been affixed to the new Freshman dormitory acquired this year as a result of a $150,000 gift from Abraham Sonnabend '18, Boston industrialist.

The dormitory will be called Pennypacker Hall, Dean Leighton disclosed yesterday, named after Henry Pennypacker of the Class of 1888, until 1933 the all-powerful chairman of the Committee on Admissions. Pennypacker, a mustached Copey-looking man, was headmaster of the Boston Latin School from 1910 to 1920, in which year he moved across the river to direct Harvard admissions for 13 years.

Pennypacker's name will be affixed to the College's newest attempt to relieve Freshman crowding and reduce the number of "forced commuters"-students accepted on condition that they live outside the College. The dormitory is the old Roosevelt Apartments, on the corner of Ware and Harvard Streets, adjoining fellow apartment-dormitories Hurl-but, Greenough, and 8 Prescott Street.

This year, 100 members of the Class of 1961 were forced to commute, although as the year wore on, most of these were absorbed into the Houses. To further reduce the number, members of the Class of 1959 were permitted to live out of the Houses next year, in an attempt-not overly successful-to gain more room in the Houses.

Pennypacker Hall will be in the cognomenal tradition of Wigglesworth, the freshman dormitory which last year was turned into a shelter for upperclassmen squeezed out of the Houses.
