VET VILLAGE, built as housing for World War II veterans and their families, houses many married students of P.A.M.C. The progress of the school has been noted throughout the years by its vast improvements of many kinds. The improvements and also the extremes of campus housing are exemplified by the modest, but comfortable, apart- ments in Vet Village and the spaciousness of the Presi- dent’s home. The guardian of the campus—the symbol of the agricultural industry of this area, the SOWER was designed in 1915 by Frank L. Ingles. 13 This distinctive two story brick structure is the HOME OF THE COLLEGE PRESIDENT. It was built in 1928.

Et RE. Die EL Ts SAR 5 | L ITHSTANDING a half century of continuous use, Franklin Hall was erected in 1909 and was the first building on the campus. Contributed by citizens of Good- well, it was the home of faculty and men and women students. When the dormitory became overcrowded the young men lived in tents or dugouts. Meals were served to those who desired them, but many of the students “bached,” as they termed it. In more recent times venerable old Franklin has been converted into apartments for married students.

se ‘ei ce Hi aa | FIELD HALL, the ‘House of Gentlemen,” completed in 1951, was named for an Oklahoma Panhandle State Senator, Leon B. Field. MULLER HALL, named for Dean of Students, Helen Muller, was built in 1938 for a women’s residence hall. N 1938, after several months of negotiations on the part of college officials, it was announced that bonds had been approved for the construction of two new dormitories. The event was heralded as a singular achieve- ment and regarded as fulfilling one of the greatest needs of the college in alleviating the congested living condi- tions of students. The modern facilities of these dormi- tories afforded much pleasure to Pamsie students who had been acustomed to far less comfort and convenience. At first called simply Men’s Dormitory and Women’s Dormitory, these buildings have now been named North Hall and Muller Hall.
