26 Campus The construction of Wakefield Science Hall was made possible by an initial pledge of $35,000 by Mr. and Mrs. Lee H. Wakefield under the condition that the College could raise an equal sum. The College accomplished this in 1920 and on June 2, Alumni Day, the cornerstone was laid. In 1925, the Science Departments were moving into Wakefield Science Hall, which was finally finished and furnished at a cost of $165,000. The walls were gray native limestone, hammer dressed and trimmed with lighter colored sawed stone. . : jM ) a ' T ' , - v| Htj
