Plans for a new men’s dormitory were approved in 1933. By the end of the year, Pres. Dr. Alton Birdwell and Business Mgr. J. H. Wisely went to San Antonio to appear before the Public Works Administration to secure funds for the building.

Living New Deal
In 1934, the Board of Regents issued bonds for $93,000.00, with the PWA lending funds using the bonds as collateral. Construction began in 1935 and the dorm was occupied in 1936. The troublesome construction of the men’s dorm nearly worked Wisely to death. Because of his work on the project and his long service to the school, the new men’s dorm was named Wisely Hall.
