Abstract

Kalamazoo College's Severn residence hall under construction. Severn Hall was built to house 118 male students, and is located on the northeast side of campus along Acker Lane. The building was named for Hermon Harrison Severn, who was a longtime professor of classics and Dean of the College from 1923 to 1937. Funds for the "H"-shaped, suite-style building came primarily from an anonymous donor. The architect was Edward Embury, the son of Aymar Embury who had designed Mandelle Hall (1930) and Hoben Hall (1936). The college used Severn Hall as a co-ed residential experiment in 1970, leading to all dorms changing to co-ed in following years. The photographer is James E. Frutchey, Kalamazoo College Class of 1965, who was the photographer for the College's "Boiling Pot" yearbook.
