Stebbins Hall is a student housing cooperative owned by the Berkeley Student Cooperative (BSC) and located at 2527 Ridge Road in Berkeley, California, on the north side of the University of California, Berkeley campus.〔Sturrock, Carrie. (University of California, Berkeley's Co-op Housing Provides Affordable Living. ) ''Contra Costa Times.'' 25 April 2004.〕 The house has a total occupancy of 64 residents during the school year, from late August to mid May, and accommodate upwards of 54 residents over the summer. == Namesake == Stebbins Hall is named after Lucy Ward Stebbins, former Dean of Women at University of California, Berkeley. Lucy Ward was born in San Francisco in 1880. She was educated at the University of California, Berkeley and later transferred to Radcliffe College to receive her A.B. degree. She graduated from Radcliffe College in 1902 and worked in Massachusetts as a social worker until 1910 when she took the position as Assistant Dean of Women at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1912 the former dean retired and Lucy Ward was appointed Dean of Women. Lucy Ward served the university for thirty years. During her time in office, she increased the enrollment of women from 1,200 to 6,400 by raising money for scholarships, expanding curriculum, encouraging women to participate in student government, and creating housing opportunities. During her office, the schools of Nursing and Social welfare were established, as well as the departments of Decorative Arts and Home Economics. Lucy Ward also founded the Women's Faculty Club, one of the earliest female faculty organizations to exist at a co-ed university. Upon conferring an honorary LL.D award to her in 1953, President Sproul described Lucy Ward as “A teacher and dean...who saw clearly into the hearts and minds of students, and stimulated them by precept and example to achieve their highest potential. No single individual has contributed more than you to the personal and general welfare of the University's women, and few have touched helpfully so many phases of our University life."〔 Stebbins was the honored guest and speaker at the Stebbins Institute in 1942, which took place at Stebbins Hall. During the summer of 2013, there was a motion to change the name of Stebbins Hall to "Two Hands House", but the motion was ultimately defeated. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stebbins Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
