The Woods Hall “Hoosit” Newsletter (Vol. 1 No. 1 & 2), October 1915
Collection Scope and Contents
This collection documents Woods Hall which was built in 1904 and remained, with many renovations, in use through 2009. Mostly the collection contains photographs of the interior and exterior of the building. The photographs of the exterior of the building are both before and after the major renovations that occurred in 1960-61. There are also a fair amount of pictures of the kitchen and dining rooms, in particular the dining rooms as they existed in 1940s and early 1950s.
In addition to the photographs, there are dedication materials from the original opening of the building in 1904, including the original handwritten speech by Mrs. Eleanor S. Woods; Floor and framing plans; a contract written in 1919 for the use of Woods Hall by the Student Young Men’s Christian Association for the year running from September 1, 1919 to June 15, 1920 (on the back of this document is another document outlining the constitution for the Student’s Insurance Alliance of Springfield College); and a group of materials from the Woods Hall and Beveridge Center Renovations that took place in 1969, including contracts, planning documents, meeting minutes, and correspondence.
