University's Growth Advanced
In President Hetzel's Term
During the 21-year tenure - 5
of office of former
Ralph t)orn Hetz e 1, after |||i|is|jr
whom the Hetzel Union
ing was named, the University ;f|
grew as much as it had in the"
previous 70 years. *' i"*
llet/el, who took office Dec. 15,
lS2fi. was primarily responsible
for the growth of tlie physical
plant, wlnih in 1927 was valued
at 700,000.
At his death m 1947 the build
ings and giminds were valued at
$26",42,7,000. More than 30 of the
55 major buildings on campus
went up during this period
In 1928, Old Mtiin, tho focal
point hf ltillcjjo activities thiough
ihe years, was completely con
demned foi dassioom use, though
it still housed the administrative
Offices.
Under Het/tTs administration,
the rebuilt Old Main rose on the
site of the former building in 1930.
In the next few years after
1932, construction included Fran
cph Athei ton ilall, a dornutoiy
for women, and Mary Beaver
White Reel eat ion Hall for women
The need for these buildings a-j
rose when the number of women:
students increased to a total ofi
1000.
A second large-scale construc
tion program took place from 1937
to 1939 after the General State
Authority approved the expen
diture of about $5 million fo>
buildings and improvements.
Because of the nationwide de
pression of the 1930'5, enrollment
fn that decade declined sharply. It
picked up when the Woiks Pro
gress Administration and the Na
tional Youth Administration help
ed students to support themselves.
Despite the business slump, the
College was able to inaugurate
several new programs, including
