1 i ZJIte Science J uilding. (Beg.un For want of’ a residence on the campus, many of the Jesuit members of the faculty were forced to shuttle daily between Calvert Street and Ever- green. Science students travelled to Calvert Street every Tuesday and Saturday for laboratory periods and the rooms which they occupied there were needed for the rapidly increasing en rollment of the high school. It was imperative that a new building be erected on the campus to provide facilities for science courses and a temporary home for the lectures in other courses. The early remedy of this handicap was made possible by Mr. George C. Jenkins, a member of a well-known Baltimore family and a parishioner of Saint Ignatius’ Church. He was a close friend of Father McEneany and became interested in the college’s desire for new surroundings. When the Evergreen estate was purchased, Mr. Jenkins immediately offered the funds necessary for the Science Building which bears his name today. Lucius R. White, Jr., of Otto G. Simonson, Inc., designed the building in the collegiate Gothic style. The Rev. Henry W. McLaughlin, S.J., was appointed faculty supervisor. During the Summer of 1922, the loundations were excavated and a sufficient supply of Mar villa marble and Beaver Dam stone quarried between Cockeysville and Texas, Maryland. The corner- stone was laid on November 7 in a solemn ceremony, with Archbishop Curley again pon- tihcating in the presence of the laculty, students anci friends of the college (sec page 11). The new building was placed on the campus so as to conform to a suggested plan of expansion which, with some modiheations, is reproduced on the end papers of this volume. It was designed 19

The Completed Science Building in the expectation that it would be used even- tually for Chemistry purposes only, another huild- ing provided for Physics and Biology. To this end, Father McLaughlin equipped the present Physics and Biology lecture rooms and labora- tories so that they may be converted easily for use ’ in additional Chemistry courses. Because of the care which Father McLaughlin cook C O have every requirement of the three sciences adequately filled, the Science Building was not completed until the close of 1923. One pier was sunk on a separate foundation so as to insure the greatest possible accuracy in the deter- mination of minute weights. All the ovens were connected to the center of the building so that the escaping fumes might be exhausted safely through the ornamental cupola on the roof. Class began in the George C. Jenkins Science Building on January 24, 1924. The Garrett Mansion, which had housed three members of the faculty, was now converted into the residence for all the college faculty members and the separation from the high school at Calvert Street was completed. Father McEneany now turned his attention towards securing an adequate students’ chapel. As early as March 1, 1922, a chapel had been furnished on the third floor of the former Garrett Mansion with funds collected by the students. In the Fall of 1923, the Class of 1926, then in its Sophomore year, presented a gold and silver ostensorium to the Chapel. Through the generosity of the late Rev. Francis Craig, pastor of the Shrine of the Sacred Fieart, Mount Washington, the college obtained ma- terials with which a chapel could be erected easily. Father Craig had been forced to dismantle the frame building of his parochial school because the 20
