Construction of the east wing of Cowan Hall begins. A 100x40 foot building is acquired from Gore Field and placed directly west of the IA Building. It serves as the Physical Plant maintenance shop and office building.

	After a delay because of lack of funds, the SUB is finally ready for use in the fall.

	Construction of Cowan Hall stops when money runs out. The girls' residence hall is named Donaldson Hall in honor of a deceased NMC English instructor. A small one story brick vehicle storage building is constructed by campus crews just west of the Physical Plant building. Delayed construction of Cowan Hall causes this building to be pressed into service for classrooms. The first paving of roads begins in the fall.
