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.

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.

| : | ] NORTH HALL, so named for its location on the campus, was completed in 1939 and is used as a men’s dormitory. The influx of students at the close of World War II again resulted in overcrowded conditions. For a time the congestion was relieved by converted barracks build- ings, typical of which was “Spacious Hall,” now con- verted to faculty apartments. As enrollment steadily increased the beautiful modern men’s dormitory, Field Hall. joined the ranks of its sister dormitories in 1951. Over the years, many students have called these halls their “homes.” When the capacities of these build- ings have been reached because of increased college popu- lation, they must let new buildings help carry or take their loads completely. Relaxing after a day of classes by playing a friendly card game, is MR. GEORGE COFFEY (2nd from right), the first President of P.A.M.C. with some of his friends. ANNA JARVIS HALL, named for the originator of Mother’s Day, was completed in 1919 as a women’s dormitory. Later used as the infirmary, then as a men’s dormitory, it is now apartments for married students.
