In January 1946, the basement of Spooner Hall was remodeled to house about 80 men, among the flood of returning World War II soldiers enrolling on the GI Bill. The hall, then the art museum, opened in 1894 and was named for Boston philanthropist William B. Spooner, an uncle of Chancellor Francis H.
