Scope and content
The College of Puget Sound experienced a huge increase in enrollment after the end of World War II as returning soldiers took advantage of the GI Bill. In order to better accommodate their students, CPS purchased U.S. Army surplus buildings, which they renovated and christened as "South Hall". Erected in 1947, the "South Hall" buildings provided badly needed classrooms until more permanent buildings could be constructed. (Tamanawas, 1948). TPL-9363
