Social Sciences Classes Move to Stevens Elementary School
Mon., Aug. 1, 1983
Denny Hall, home to one-third of the College's classrooms, closed for renovation. Deparments housed in Denny included American Studies, Anthropology, History, Political Science, Military Science, and Sociology. Classes were relocated to Stevens Elementary School on the corner of Franklin and Lincoln Streets, amidst student complaints about the length of the walk and the small size of the temporary facility. Professor complaints centered around lack of office space for the staff, as noted by Professor of History John Osborne, saying "All professors have students who are having problems come and see them in their offices. The conversation which follow often become very personal and students may even break down. It's very difficult to be frank with a student when there are two other professors in the room".
