College of Puget Sound purchased U. S. Army surplus buildings in 1947. These buildings would be used to provide more classrooms, they were assembled, renovated and christened as "South Hall". The student population grew from 250 students to 1900 students, the growth is attributed to post-war growth and expansion. View of Army barracks being assembled (Tamanawas 1948).
