ST. MARY’S HALL is the cam- pus bastion of religion in ap- pearance and purpose. Home of all Augustinian priests during seminarian days at Villanova, the building is self-sufficient, with its own classes, living quarters, kitchen facilities and chapel. GALBERRY HALL, located at the campus extremity beyond the Field House, is a building seldom visited by students, but houses an important branch of College academic activity as the center for scientific research and development. The year 1943 was marked not only by the Cen- tennial celebration, but also by the arrival of the Xavy on campus with their V-12 program. Through- out the war years which followed, Villanova and the Xavy united their efforts to produce military leaders, well qualified to supplement the supply of officers from the Naval Academy. It is obvious that this union was mutually bene- ficial. for as a result the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps has become a permanent unit at Villanova. COMMERCE AND FINANCE BUILDING con- tains, along with classrooms and editorial offices of two campus publications, business school de- partmental offices, a theater auditorium seating about 600. The latter is used for lectures, examinations and special programs.

THE BARRACKS arc tempo- rary structures that were built immediately after the war to house part of the influx of vet- erans and still in use because living quarters on campus can- not accommodate the College’s still high resident enrollment. The five buildings include one classroom unit, Belle Air Hall, and four dormitories that were used for the first time this year as exclusively freshmen living quarters. As the war reached its peak in 1944, Father Francis X. McGuire. O.S.A., was named to replace Father Stanford as President of the College. Faced with the problem of post war expansion, several temporary buildings were constructed to house the hundreds of new students. In the tradition of his predecessors who succeeded in spite of difficulties, Father McGuire has guided the development of Yil- lanova within the past eight years. Under his guiding hand were completed: the Naval Science Building, the Library, the Chemical Engineering Building, and a central heating plant. Thus, in her 110th year, Yillancva College boasts a 166-acre campus which contains 28 buildings, a student body of well over 2,000, and a capable faculty of over 130. FIELD HOUSE, most versatile of campus buildings, serves principally as quarters of the Athletic Association and facilities for athletics. In addition, the building also has a large stage and floor space that is adapted for various campus functions such as plays, dances, religious exercises, ban- quets, and basketball games.
