Simpson Hall, named in honor of its donor, William Simp- son, is the latest addition to the Villanova campus. The property consists of a magnificent twenty-room resident building together with a two and one-half acre plot of ground. Its acquisition gives symmetry to the campus layout and provides the opportunity to remove those obstructions that have prevented a fully appreciative view of the beauty on the western end of the campus. q ml nat 5

Strategically located about the campus are these three student dormitories. Each offers definite inducements to its resi- dents. Alumni, a central location and a handy gym; Austin, nearness to the Com- merce School, and Fedigan, accessibility to the science and engineering labora- tories. AUSTIN HALL ALUMNI FEDIGAN HALL

The building’s quiet retreat from the humdrum of ordinary college activity, blended with its appropriate decorations and furnishings, lends to the students an inspiration, conducive to extraordinary thoughts and endeavors in their many extra-curricular activities. The gift of Simpson Hall was not only generous but it was also timely, in that its spa- cious lounge rooms, with open fire-places solved the urgent problem of providing ideal meeting rooms for the various seminars.
