As the only dormitory for men operated by the University, the Little Campus represents the University ' s pioneer movement in the housing of men students, the forerunner of the new dormitories included in the new University building project. Located in the rambling old buildings on the Little Campus grounds, the dormitory boasts a history as picturesque and colorful as the University itself. The first of the old buildings was erected in 1885 as the State School for the Blind, and when the School of Military Aeronautics was housed in the structures during the war, the newer brick building was built as a barracks for the soldiers. After the war the State Hospital for the Senile Insane was lodged in the buildings. Later these buildings were transferred to the University, and after being throughly remodeled, were opened as a dormitory for men under management of C. B. Smith. In 1928, O. J. Brunkenhoefer, was named manager of the dormitory. The annual social functions of the Little Campus Dormitory include the fall and spring dances and open houses. Teams are entered in almost every event on the Intramural calendar. The records of the Intramural office reveal many Independent League championships and several University championships to the dormi- tory ' s credit. The Little Campus Free Press, a small weekly newspaper published by the men of the dormi- tory, serves as a unifying measure, bringing them into closer relation with one another and offering a medium of expression for affairs with which the dormitory is concerned. Though the first unit of the seven new dormitory structures planned by the University in the new building project will be opened next year, the Little Campus Dormitory will continue in operation under the manage- men t of Mr. Brunkenhoefer.
