In the early 190O ' s, the entire campus con- sisted of Ikenberry Hall, the Bible Building (now Wampler Auditorium), Bumgerdner Hall (the east end of the Administration Building), and Oakwood Hall (not pic- tured). Railroad tracks used to separate the New Men ' s Hall (later named Schwalm) from the rest of the campus. PROGRESS THROUGH GROWTH Tennis courts where Peter- sime stands . . . railroad tracks running through Cor- dier ... a street between the Science building and Winger . . . During the years of a growing and expanding cam- pus, the tennis courts were relocated; the railroad tracks and street were removed. The campus has continued to experience physical changes. The most recent change has been the renova- tion of Goshorn into an ex- panded computer center. The new Physical Education and Recreation Center was fin- ished and ready for use in 1982. From the acquisition of property and one building in 1895, the campus expanded gradually to the extent where it now encompasses over 100 acres. From the very begin- ning, Manchester exper- ienced changes. while the Science building was in the construc- tion process, the contractors had access to the area by using Campus Avenue. Buildings 5
