RITTER HALL Chatting before class-time at Ritter Hall are (left to right) Roy DeLotelle, David Hnrd, John Beller, and George McGrew. Built in 1891 to honor the memory of Elizabeth Ritter, Ritter Hall is one of the beautiful older buildings which connects a growing Tennessee Wesleyan with its past. Once owned and operated by the Woman ' s Division of the Board of Missions of the Methodist Church, Ritter Hall was a gift to the College, under the auspices of the Woman ' s Society of Christian Service. A dormitory for women until 1962, it is now a dormitory for men on the south side and women on the north, and houses offices for the Business and Education Departments and their classrooms. It was deeded to the College in 1963 by the W.S.C.S. ■ imjk MMMM £»

FOWLER HALL The stately entrance to the Lucy Hornsby Fowler Residence Hall for Women expresses the dignity of the Colonial architecture to be seen in many of the buildings on the Tennessee Wesleyan College campus. Leaving for classes from Fowler Residence Hall, which houses 128 female students, are (front, left to right) Lana Mynatt and Nan Hughes, and (back, left to right) Ann Waller, Norman Frazier, and Debbie Adams. Constructed in 1962 at a cost of $520,646, the residence hall commemorates Lucy Hornsby Fowler, and through her the traditional ties between the Fowler and Hornsby families and TWC. Major James Hornsby, the father of Lucy Hornsby Fowler, was an original incorporator of Tennessee Wesleyan; her husband, General James A. Fowler, was associated with the college as stu- dent, professor, trustee, and president of the Board of Trustees. The hall includes two apartments for resident supervisors, a formal lounge, two study lounges, and a recreational lounge.
