With the rapid increase of enrollment, the need for new dormitories was realized. Two new dormitories were Opened this fall: Mary Hay Hall for upperclass women and McElvaney Hall for men. Included in McElvaney Hall is a large and beautifully equipped cafeteria to serve its residents and those of Mary Hay Hall and Shuttles Hall. Completing the quadrangle of womenis residences is the Health Center. This buildingas completion is expected in the spring of 1960. The Umphrey Lee Memorial, dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. Umphrey Lee, President of Southern Methodist University, stands in the center of the Legal quadrangle. Dedicated in the spring of 1959, it stands as a striking tribute to the memory of this great scholar and educator.

Forming one of the most beautiful spots of the campus is the Perkins School of Theology. Located at the south end of the campus, the School consists of seven buildings: Kirby Hall, Selecman Hall, Bridwell Library, Perkins Chapel7 and four dormitories. An inestimable advantage of the School is found in its intimate relationship with the life of SMU. Perkins Chapel is the scene of a regular interdenominational Sunday service conducted by the chaplain of the University for all SMU students. It is also the scene of many weddings. An invaluable interchange is constantly occurring between the School of Theology and the University as a whole.
