Much interest has been shown this year in the Practice House maintained by the Home Economics seniors. Because of the Smith-Hughes Act it was found necessary to require a certain amount of work in household management. Accordingly North Hall, formerly the Phi Epsilon Phi Fraternity House, was taken over by the Home Economics Department.

Crossland Alumni Center and went on to house Franco-American Programs.
