(Photograph by Sargent ) QG4ii p4 Ge4 ie Here is the hub of the campus — the chime tower and the war memorial next to it. The Old Chapel officially houses the Liberal Arts Department — class-rooms, cubby-hole offices, seminar room, and auditorium. The chimes in the Old Chapel tower punctuate the day ' s activities and will always be associated with Shake- speare, American government, and with the horrors of Public Speaking 29. Adjoining the Chapel is the more pro- saic Memorial Hall — the home of aim- less people, busy people, different and diffident people. . .It accommodates ves- pers, religion, the music department, the CoUe( ian, the 1941 Index, the Alumni Office, and even bowling alleys.

R. ,ENDEZVOUS of the maroon-topped neophytes, the newest addition to the campus, the center of frosh midnight grind and bull sessions, the school home of the men of ' 44 .... Most frosh living at Lewis hail from metropolitan Boston and Western Massachusetts, while at the other extreme are those who have traveled from six outside states and Hawaii. Hawaii bade Aloha to Bob Engelhard, one of the College ' s promising football heroes who now lives at the new dorm. Social life at Lewis Hall ranges from ping pong to the vie parties held there frequently. On October 20, 1940 the new frosh dorm held a reception for the faculty, the staff, and their families to visit the building which was opened September 15 and which was constructed by funds raised by the Alumni Building Corporation. (Large picture of Lewis Hall on opposite page was taken from Thatcher Hall by Senior Donald Simpson especially for the 1941 Index.) Jle uMA. JlcdL Freshmen
