HROUGHOUT the history of Indiana State Teachers College it has never maintained a dormitory for men students until two years ago when a new building was constructed on the northeast corner of the campus. Before this time, students lived in private residences or in houses maintained by the various fraternities. Early in the history of the school it became customary for students to board together in clubs. These clubs varied in size from ten to fifty members, the principal figure being the purveyor who secured boarders, purchased supplies, collected weekly bills, and paid a fixed sum per week to the landlady for each boarder. ln return he received his board free and all that he could save by good management. The clubs did not go out of existence until the World War. The new dormitory for men was officially opened at the beginning of the school year of 1937-38. It was named in honor of W. W. Parsons, who spent many years of his life as president of the institution and who was so keenly interested in the spirit- ual, physical, and moral welfare of the students. The dormitory offers the latest and the best in the way of dormitory facilities and provides home privileges for approxi- mately one hundred and twenty-five students.
