The biblical Mount Sinai is one of the most important sacred places in the Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions because it is the place where a covenant between God and His people was established.Īll these religions have in common that they believe the biblical Mount Sinai was the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments, which is why Mount Sinai is also referred to as Mount Moses. 23 - it was announced that Hennessy Hall would close as well.Climbing Mount Sinai Peak (2285-metre / 7,497 ft.) is one of those experiences that are on many people’s bucket list – for a reason! At first, it was announced that Hennessy Hall would continue, but in September 1935 - just a couple of weeks before the start of school on Sept. Unfortunately, in spite of the success of Lovekin Dormitory and Hennessy Hall, it was decided at the end of the 1934-35 school year that the Lovekin building would be repurposed for classroom use. So much so that a new house was found at Prospect and Olivewood avenues and was opened as Hennessy Hall in 1934 for another 15 to 20 women. The experiment, started for the 1933-34 school year, was a rousing success. Other groups, such as the International Students club, held events there as well. In October 1933, just a few weeks after it opened and school started, the Associated Women Students of Riverside Junior College held two receptions for new women students at Lovekin Dorm, over 120 students altogether. Lovekin Dorm immediately became a popular place for student activities. In return, they would be able to live much more economically than if they had to pay room and board somewhere else in town. The women would be required to help with cleaning and other duties needed to make the house self-supporting.
The housemother that year was Miss Gladys Buell, who was also an instructor of music at the college. The newly christened Lovekin Dormitory would house between 15 and 20 young women. It would use the Lovekin house, at 4689 Olivewood St., as a dormitory for young women. To help with this issue, the college decided in 1933 to try an experiment.
In the early 1930s, Riverside Junior College (the precursor to Riverside City College of today) saw that many young and promising women students were not able to further their education at the junior college because they couldn’t afford the cost of room and board while they attended school.
