.foldzkfzr Moved In During Years of fecona' World War In September of 1941, the first mem- ber of the faculty left for the Second World War. The'following year the Navy began a training program for prospective naval ollicers. Physical training was high- ly stressed that year although the inter- collegiate sports program had been eliminated. Then at the height of the war activity, the military moved onto the campus. The fall and winter of 1943-44 saw some 400 army personnel move into wornen's quarters in Lucina Hall. Elliott Hall housed 110 Naval Aviation Cadets. During their stay on the campus, they sparked the school which was suffering from male-less boredom. Then on March 19, 1944, the troops which were now labeled the 3531st Unit marched from the campus they had once delighted to the downtown train station where they left for Camp Swift in Texas.
