1 Marston Hall The home of the sciences, Marston Hall rises from the southern slope of the Hill with its well- equipped laboratories and spacious lecture rooms. Here since its construction in 1914, students have learned the mysteries of mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, laws of the old scholars have been re-proved, theorems have been illustrated again and again. Since Ianuary, 1943, however, Marston Hall has been headquarters for the classes of the Naval Flight Preparatory School and all the classrooms have been given over to the V-5 cadets. Only the laboratories and a few ollfices have been retained by the college itself, while the science classes have been transferred to Iewell Hall for the duration of the present emerg- ency. When the construction of the building was pending, the 1910 Tczrler carried an architect's drawing of the proposed edifice. This drawing has been reproduced below, showing several vari- ations from the building which was finally erected in 1914, largely with the financial help of E.

Along these newly painted corridors, khaki now replaces the civilian dress, the personnel of the teaching staff has been, to a great extent, included in the new regime together with other civilian instructors and commissioned officers of the United States Navy. Nevertheless, there are on all sides remind- ers of the past years, promises of the future, when Marston shall no longer find it necessary to inter- pret science to a warring world, but can again teach young men and women its constructive uses and send them out to build a new world of peace and scientific marvels in which many more gene- rations of students may live and study. On the walls of the first floor there remain the pictures of eminent scientists, leaders in the various fields, examples for aspiring youth. The museum also, with its permanent collections, in addition to sev- eral valuable ones lent by college friends, is still open on the third floor to make more graphic the study of the strange and unusual as well as the ordinary. f - - -M ' 27 I D I Elf ur ' E l1iTKllXXHXXlUXli 0 . y if , 3, rp?-1-I 3' L -xg li , 'F'.IllllEe--I IJ DID llil qf-'5. . -A. . , -5:i- - Y Y V.

The lift of the short inspirational period helps the students through an otherwise endless round of classes and study. It brings a welcome break as well as thought-pro- voking meditation. Before and after the chapel program the students Hnd an opportunity to chat, for since chapel is the only gathering which includes all the students, except those especially excused, it affords the only real chance for this fellowship. Named for Iohn Gano, an intimate friend of George Washington and a chaplain in his army, Gano Chapel has stood since 1926 as a symbol of the Christian education and fellowship which is the basis of William Iewell College. Here the students meet three times a week for a brief service in which the President usually delivers a message, but occasionally introduces well-known speakers from outside the college. Also during the year, various members of the faculty have been given Twelve -- -li ' N 1 M- L . .

On the stage of Iohn Gano Chapel the William Iewell Players present their productions to an audience of students, townspeople, and this year, cadets. The stage is equipped with excellent light- ing fixtures, dressing rooms, and other facilities needed for successful presentations. The Tatler Revue and the evening program on Work Day also made use of the chapel stage. On the second floor of the chapel building are found the ofhces of the administration of the college opposite the entrance to the balcony which enables the auditorium to seat 1100 people. ln the basement of the spacious building are the Co- op and the William Iewell Press. As it stands looking south across the campus, the chapel symbolizes the Christian way of life which is the aim of the teaching program on the Hill.

This year in the classrooms and oflice, the personnel of the Navy school have taken up quarters and have re- ceived priority privileges in the use of the equip- ment and the building itself. Nevertheless, this is but a temporary thing. Memories that give promise Fourteen swf of coming alive again remain in every part of the building, memories of Big Red Teams fight- ing for their school, crowds of students enthusi- astically cheering them on, boys proudly wearing big red HV is on their sweaters. All these belong to Brown Gymnasium and none of them will ever cease to be a part of it. The Gymnasium, as it now appears, was built in 1928 to replace the former building fbelowj, which also bore the name of Brown, and stood on the location of the old tennis courts south of the heating plant. Both buildings were named in honor of Mr. A. D. Brown, who contributed very generously to the construction of the first one.
