Watkins Hall, built in 1926, and its twin Miller Hall, in 1937, are striking examples ofarchitecture influencing behavior. Elizabeth’s letters show how she conceived, designed, and even decorated “her” halls for “her” girls.Read about the evolution of student life and customs of the times in these two halls, as they reach ninety and eighty years of age. Thestory is told in the words and photos of the women who lived in them from 1926 to the present.
