In April of 1966, Wilbert E. Locklin was sworn in. He was the Trustees unanimous choice as the new president for Springfield College. One of Locklin’s first dilemmas was the financing of the natatorium. It was Art Linkletter who helped. He donated his Beverly Hills estate and encouraged I OCX) students to raise $25,000 during a work week. Locklin was responsible for adding 5.3 acres and 5 buildings to the campus within his first three months as president. The natatorium was completed and dedicated in the fall of 1967. Linkletter defeated Professor Charles “Red” Sylvia in a 50-meter crawl-stroke. This was just the beginning. Under President Locklin, the school has seen the construction of Cheney Hall, in 1968; the relocation of the football field to where Benedum Field now stands; the construction of the Babson Library, Gulick Hall; the remodeling of four buildings into classrooms, a student health center and an arts building.
