INTERIOR VIEW OF KESSLER HALL A? Hill ,igilgl LQSH A 51,5555 'T 'W' K' ' M 3. Ennis iltrmalvr illlvmnrial Ball --1893-4- ESSLER HALL was built and dedicated to the memory of Prof. j. Louis Kessler who lost his life as a result of an accident that occurred while he was fighting a ire which broke out in the Ladies Dormitory on Commencement evening, 1893. ,The Star of that year says, Central Wesleyan College through his death was deprived of a devoted worker. He was in the highest sense a citizen, a friend, a colleague, a good Christian man. The cornerstone, of Kessler Memorial Hall was laid October 21, 1893. Two addresses were given, one by Charles Wellemeyer, representing the Class of '94, the other by Rev. Heidel, representing the Board of Trustees. The stone was laid by Prof. Asling and the following articles placed in the stone: A history of the Class of '94, a copy of the Star giving an account of the fire, a sketch of Prof. Kessler's life and tragic death, a copy of the College Star of the Jubilee year, a German and an English catalogue, the Sophomore and Senior Badges of the Class of '94. The stone was securediby the Class of '94 and bears this inscription: Laid October 21, 1893, by the Class' of '94. The main part of the lower story contained the Chapel to be used for daily devotional exercises, entertainments, and concerts. It seated 400 per- sons. In the south wall a memorial window was placed by the Class of '93. In the rear of the chapel were three small rooms, one for the janitors and two for music rooms. ' The upper story contained rooms for practice and instruction in music and a larger room for the Art Department. In 1920 Kessler Hall was remodeled. The Chapel was enlarged with a seating capacity of 600, the stage rebuilt, an orchestra pit added, the hall was redecorated in ivory color, a complete set of stage scenery added, and new opera seats were finstalled. A basement was excavated which contains a modern cooking laboratory. More practice rooms were added to the second story and rooms were built for the Art, Oratorical and Dressmaking Depart- ments. 'We are, indeed, proud of the new Kessler Hall which graces our beautiful campus. ,
