As Buildings Become Taller . . . Sawdust floats in the air while hammers, saws, and bulldozers sweat to make buildings grow taller. Hammers, saws, bulldozers—these are the things which transform small colleges into larger colleges. The year 1966 has already seen the opening of many new buildings. Hopper Hall, a two story structure costing $800,000, has made room for two hundred girls. Lowndes Hall, the new men's dormitory provides housing for over two hundred men. This $750,000 structure is beautifully located in Drexel Park. VSCs newest pride is the $1,050,000 Nevins Hall, a three story building containing the administrative offices and the departments of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Math. It is equipped with the most modern conveniences including a telescope and an observatory. Taking the place of the old Student Center is the sparkling new $409,575 College Union offering a snack bar, meeting rooms, post office, and bookstore. These new buildings meet the present demands at VSC, but the college is growing still.
