Campus Map - 1952

The three identical rectangles in the center of the map mark the site of a series of temporary barracks built along the west side of Church Street and also along the south side of University Avenue (site of Hollinger Field House) to house the students returning after WW II under the GI Bill. The buildings were all named after military figures: Eisenhower, Nimitz, McArthur, etc.
