Conant Honored by Harvard's Birthplace

John Harvard's home town of Southwark, England, has honored President Conant by giving his name to the largest structure in its modern housing project. Conant House opened for occupancy February 12.

President Conant became an honorary Freeman of the Metropolitan (London) Borough of Southwark during his visit to England in 1941.

Conant House contains two buildings, one of seven stories and one of five, overlooking central London, it stands in a lot on which stood a mission hall, ten tenement houses, and a laundry before German air raids cleared the ground.
