Swan Hall and road to Patterson Field
Campus walkways and roads were unpaved in 1920. Beyond Swan Hall (shown) are the steps to 3-year-old Patterson Field, the only other facility on campus at the time besides Johnson Hall (named for Orson Thomas and Anna Johnson), Fowler Hall (named in memory of Eldridge M. Fowler by his daughter and granddaughter) and Swan Hall. Swan Hall was the first residence hall on campus (the men’s dormitory), funded in 1914 by Mrs. Frances B. Swan as a tribute to her husband James Swan. Converted to faculty offices in 1961-62, Swan underwent a complete renovation in 2012, at which time a new wing, named Hinchliffe Hall after Steven Hinchliffe, Jr. ’55 H’16 P’88 GP’18 and his wife Ann Hinchliffe ’57 P’88 GP’18, was added. The space now houses the Cushman Board Room (named for Ginny (Goss) Cushman ‘55 and John Cushman ‘55), faculty offices, the psychology laboratories and seminar rooms. Patterson Field, named for trustee W.C. Patterson, is now part of Kemp Stadium, which was named in honor of Congressman Jack Kemp ’57 H’90 in 2011.
