 | | Due to the generous efforts of noted-philanthropists Samuel Lamport and Harry Fischel, a capital campaign leading towards the establishment of Yeshiva College was launched, and by Tuesday, December 4, 1923, a five million dollar building campaign drive had started. |
 | | Land for Yeshiva College, between 186th and 187th streets on Amsterdam Avenue (approximately thirty ordinary city building lots), in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan, was secured for construction by Harry Fischel, chairman of the building committee. |
 | | At the ceremony, a scroll in Hebrew and English describing Yeshiva's history and the developments leading up to the rise of the building, was placed underneath the cornerstone. |
