Brooks Hall, built 1951, and Armstrong Hall, built the year before. Brooks Hall, containing biology and several museums, was named for a family of four men who contributed much to state biological research. The sons included authors, an entomologist, and a connection with the state department of agriculture. Next door is Armstrong Hall, the largest classroom building on the downtown campus. Named for Robert Armstrong, longtime chairman of the English department and acting president in 1935, this building includes English, business, education, languages and humanities. Elizabeth Moore Hall is for the coeds — lounges. Dean of Women ' s offices, and physical education, including a swimming pool. It was named for the head of the Woodburn Female Seminary. It is the place for campus meetings both inside and out. Tri Delta is only one of several sororities which lived on the top floor of E. Moore Hall until houses could be found. Physics Building, added in 1952, and Music Building built in 1954.

Mountaineer Field, largely the effort of Harry Stansbury, athletic director from 1917 to 1938, is the scene for many thrilling sports events at WVU. Since 1928, a familiar man on the field with rifle and coonskin cap, has been the Mountaineer. Mountain, ranking men ' s honorary, annually selects the Mountaineer who is usually tall and who must be able to evoke Mountaineer spirit from the crowds, and whose rifle goes off when the teams appear and when touchdowns are made.
