Mac Hall Houses
Students Since 1904
By ELAINE MIELE
McAllister Hall, built in 1904, has seen its last year as a
dormitory.
The building was named in honor of Hugh Nelson McAllis
ter, one of the founders of the University. It was originally
constructed as a men’s dormitory.
The Collegian of Sept. 19, 1904, describes the rooms as
"light and spacious, being far
more pleasant than those in Old
Main with which the men are so
familiar.”
Besides dormitory rooms the
building was said to have a
bakery, laundry, vegetable cel
lar, refrigerator, work room and
general store room.
The dining room was-not man
aged by the college at that time
but “was placed in the hands of
a competent caterer with the ex
pectation and requirement that he
shall furnish good board at rea
sonable rates.”
According to an advertisement
in the Froth at that time the rates
seem reasonable enough. A single
meal could be bought for 35 cents
and board for a full week cost
only $3. Private sections for visi
tors, faculty and ladies were also
advertised.
Mac Hall was vised for vari
ous purposes in its j early days.
Richard Harlow, famed Penn
Stale fooiball coach, gave lec
tures to the fooiball team on
the first floor of the building.
It also housed both instructors
end classrooms of She zoology

In 1915 Mac Hall

and the dorms are nc

Violators
To Exhibit
'Penalties'
Spectators at the VMI game
this afternoon will have a
chance to view handiwork
created by five customs vio
lators as the penalties for
their "crimes.”
The live freshman will display
at half-time the signs the Fresh
man Customs Board asked them
to make for breaking various cus
toms regulations.
Parading out on the field with
Donald Clagett, chairman of the
customs board, will be John Bad
ner, William Brown, Jeff Fisher,
Barbara Dipple and Roger Sch
wartz.
All freshman must wear their
dinks and namecards to the game.
Tire inscription on each sign was
decided upon in relation to the
violation.
When asked when customs will
end this year, Clagett mysterious
ly answered, “Customs will be
over when the sign is right.”
In past years customs has last
ed for one, two, three, four, and
even five weeks.
