With two colleges now united and bending their efforts toward a common goal, progress and expansion in- creased twofold. The outbreak of the First World War found the college prepared. Baldwin-Wallace was one of those schools selected by the War Department to house a unit of the S.A.T.C. which arrived in October, 1918 and was placed under the supervision of Captain C. H. Hall. In the fall of 1919, the unit was changed to one of the R.O.T.C.. but this was discontinued shortly after. Under the able administration of President Albert Boynton Storms, who pre- sided from 1918 to 1934. the college was preparing to establish itsehc along larger and more modern lines. in order to cope with the growing student 9 body. Dr. Louis C. Wright's arrival in 1935 marked the beginning 9 of a colorful administration noteworthy for its material advance- 1ment. The last decade has fulfilled admirably the premise of former years. The campus has been expanded: Kohler Hall has been completely remodeled; two new dormitories, Emma Lang Hall and Merner-Pfeitfer Hall have been constructed. The building of Burrell Observatory has contributed greatly to an awakened interest in science on the campus. The construction of the stadium, athletic Field and swimming pool has furthered the appreciation 'For athletics and good health. The college has also built a new home for the president and two commodious, modern fraternity houses. In 1943, the college was asked once again by the government to sponsor a military unit. this time the Navy V-12 under the supervision of Lieutenant Wilson. The unit arrived in July and remainedalmost two-ancl- one-half years. until November of 1945. During this period the college graduated and prepared Navy men for the difficult prob- lems which they would face. Now, on its Oneehundredth annie t verse ry, Baldwin-Wallace must look ahead to a period of expansion and advancement greater than it has experienced ever before. Her goals will be reached only by pursuing those ideals exemplified in the character of John Baldwin. the founder and guiding spirit.
