When the University was located downtown, students found housing in the many convenient boarding houses in the neighborhood. These were lacking at Homewood, and the administration recognized the need for dormitories. The campus plan drawn up in 1906 included ten dormitories, all facing a central quadrangle. When the move to Homewood occurred in 1916, however, a lack of funds prevented the University from constructing any student housing. In 1919, a group of alumni led by George Radcliffe (AB 1897, PhD 1900) raised funds for a building to honor their classmates who had died in the First World War. The cornerstone of the Alumni Memorial Dormitory was laid in June 1922, and the building opened in the fall of 1923. When a second structure was built in 1953- 54, the buildings became the Alumni Memorial Residences (AMR), and the present names of the fourteen houses that make up the two dormitories were chosen (Adams, Baker, Clark, Gildersleeve, Griffin, Hollander, Jennings, Lazear, Royce, Sylvester, Vincent, Willard, Wilson, Wood). The original dormitory building is now referred to as AMR 1, while the newer structure is known as AMR 2 (both pictured below).
