Campus Geography - Academic & Administration

Brown Hall
Brown Hall was built as Brown Gymnasium in 1928 to replace the old gym that was destroyed by fire. Old Brown Gymnasium had the distinction of being the site of the first intercollegiate basketball game west of the Mississippi River. The game was played between the William Jewell College Cardinals and the University of Kansas. Old Brown Gym was also the first building in the West that was built solely as a gymnasium. The New Brown Gymnasium (which is now Brown Hall) included men's and women’s shower and dressing facilities, a main gym with a regulation basketball court, a smaller gym, handball courts and a swimming pool. Brown underwent extensive renovation to meet needs for theatre, art, radio, newspaper and debate facilities, classrooms and admission offices.

Charles F. Curry Library
The Charles F. Curry Library, completed in 1965, was designed for an eventual capacity of 225,000 volumes. It is a spacious, four-story building, housing numerous conference rooms and study, research and reading rooms. It replaced Carnegie Library, which had suffered from space limitations and structural problems since its completion. Curry Library originally was named the William Jewell Memorial Library, but it was renamed for Charles F. Curry, a prominent trustee and gracious benefactor to the college.

On the ground floor is Browning Theater, which seats 200 and provides space for lectures, movies, plays and recitals. The Library’s remaining three floors house the circulating collection, periodicals, government documents, special collections and study lounges.

Curry Library currently houses:

Dale-Patton School House
The Dale-Patton School House was relocated to campus in 2000. This historic one-room school originally was located in rural Ray County near Richmond, Missouri, as was Grand River Baptist Church. It served generations of students in the first through eighth grades. It was built on land conveyed to Colonel Alexander Doniphan in 1843 by United States President John Tyler. It serves as a meeting place and reception area. This piece of history reminds us of our educational heritage.

Grand River Chapel
Grand River Chapel, formerly Grand River Baptist Church of Jameson, Missouri, was founded in 1833. It was moved to William Jewell College in 1991. It serves as a prayer chapel for students and a meeting place for organizations. The Chapel is open 24 hours a day.

Greene Hall
“The Lord has been very good to me, and I want to help His cause a little. I don’t know any place better to do it than William Jewell.”

With these words, W. D. Johnson, generous benefactor of William Jewell, announced his intention of giving a substantial financial gift for the construction of an administration building at William Jewell College. He requested that the building bear the name Greene Hall for his great friend Dr. John Priest Greene, president of the college from 1882 to 1920. By strange coincidence, Mrs. Greene, the widow of Dr. Greene, passed away at her home in California at the very hour this building was dedicated.

Greene Hall currently houses:

Administrative Services
Business Office (includes Cashier Window)
Continuing Education and Evening Division
Offices of the President
Offices of the Academic Dean
Offices of the Overseas Study Program
Office of College Relations and Marketing
Office of the Registrar
Senior Tutor/Oxbridge

The matriculation process is completed at the cashiers’ windows each semester before attending classes. Students may receive information concerning their student accounts, including statements and payment plan calculations. They may also apply for refunds.

Greene Stadium
Greene Stadium was completed in 1955 and dedicated on the evening of September 17. The stadium is named for Dr. Luther D. Greene of Richmond, Missouri. Dr. Greene was a halfback on the first William Jewell College football team in 1888. He became a successful physician and esteemed orator.

Greene Stadium is located on the west side of the football field with walks and driveways from the west and the south. It contains ticket windows, newly renovated restrooms, concession stands, pressrooms, telephones and storage space. There is sufficient seating on the east and west sides of the Norris A. Patterson Field for 7,000 persons.

Elliot C. Spratt Outdoor Sports Complex
The Elliot C. Spratt Outdoor Sports Complex contains the Polly Grant Memorial baseball field, soccer fields and softball diamonds.

Jewell Hall
Jewell Hall, the oldest building on the William Jewell College campus, was built between 1849 and 1858. It is recognized as one of the most beautiful structures in western Missouri. Jewell Hall was named after Dr. William Jewell, one of the college’s principal founders, who drew up the original plans and supervised construction of the building. He donated the money to buy the land for the college, but died of a heat stroke on August 7, 1852, before completion of the building that bears his name.

The building’s bricks were brought by barge to Liberty Landing, where ox-drawn wagons hauled them three miles to the building site. Originally constructed in the center of the roof was a white belfry and observatory (restored in the 1999-2000 renovations). Jewell Hall has always been used for classes, but it was also home to the library of the college until Carnegie Library (which was later replaced by the current Curry Library) was built in the early 1890s. During the Civil War, Jewell Hall was used as a hospital for wounded Federal soldiers for a few weeks after the battle of Blue Mills, which took place only four miles from Liberty in 1861. In 1862, Federal troops occupied Jewell Hall and the campus for a time. During the occupation, a line of rifle pits was torn across the campus. It is said that soldiers lived in the second and third floors of Jewell Hall while they used the first floor as a stable for their horses.

Liberty was known as a town that was Union by day and Confederate by night. However, the building received no serious damage during the war. In 1891, the United States Congress passed a bill, granting to the college $2,200 as rent for the use of the campus and building during this time.

Jewell Hall stood for almost 100 years with only minor repairs. During a complete interior renovation in 1948, architects were amazed at the original structure, which included hand-hewn oak window headings, floating girders and walls as thick as 17 inches. The college completed another renovation of this historical building in 2000, restoring its beauty and preserving its great history.

Jewell Hall currently houses:

John Gano Memorial Chapel
John Gano Memorial Chapel was named in honor of the Reverend John Gano, who established the First Baptist Church of New York City and served as Chaplain in the army of General George Washington. It was dedicated on Sunday, September 26, 1926.

Construction of this classical building began in 1925 on the site of William Jewell's first science hall, which had been destroyed by an earlier fire. Gano Chapel is built on a solid rock foundation of blue limestone. Its beautiful stained glass windows bear the college motto Deo Fisus Labora, “Trust in God and Work.”

The primary funds for the Chapel came from Mrs. Elisabeth Johnson of Kansas City. She gave the money with the stipulation that the chapel be named for her famous ancestor, John Gano. She also stipulated that: an oil painting of John Gano baptizing General George Washington must always be in the chapel and that the graves of her father and grandfather must be tended by the college.

The auditorium seats more than 800 persons and was once the scene of William Jewell's Fine Arts Program (now the Harriman-Jewell Series). Artists performing in this nationally renowned series have included Luciano Pavarotti, Itzhak Perlman, Marilyn Horne, Rudolf Nureyev, Leslie Nielsen, Wynton Marsalis, Jessica Tandy and Yo-Yo Ma.

Major renovations were completed in November 2000. This included the addition of the Assembly Room and the Steeple, which holds the Carolyne Hester Carillons. The Carillons chime every quarter hour for the campus and Liberty community in memory of Mrs. Carolyne Hester, who served as a resident director in Melrose Hall and whose husband taught religion at Jewell from 1926 to 1957.

Gano Chapel currently houses:

Mabee Center for Physical Education
Opened in the fall of 1980, the Mabee Center for Physical Education is a multimillion dollar facility that replaced Brown Gymnasium. It is named for the Mabee Foundation of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the principal donor to the building project.

Mabee Center currently houses:
Activity arena for basketball and jogging
Swimming pool
Handball/Racquetball courts
Weight room and Locker Rooms
Multipurpose room
Outdoor sand volleyball courts
Outdoor tennis courts
Outdoor track

All recreational facilities will be available at designated times in accordance with specific policies. During recreational periods, the Facilities Coordinator or Physical Education staff decides the use of the open spaces for activities other than basketball and jogging. Usage hours will be designated on the monthly activity calendar. Locker rooms and shower facilities are available. No towels are provided. For further information on use, rental and services, contact the Facilities Coordinator in the Mabee Center.

Instructional programs and varsity athletics have priority for the entire facility from the hours of 7:50 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday. Scheduled intramural activities will begin at 6:30 p.m. and continue until completion. Recreational use by students, faculty and staff is allowed at any time in the facility when instructional programs, varsity athletics and intramurals are not in progress. Modification of these hours will be made in accordance with previously stated priorities. All or part of the buildings will be closed during special events.

For the racquetball courts, a reservation list will be maintained in the Control Room. Players are limited to 45 minutes per day, unless all individuals desiring to play have been accommodated. Courts must be claimed by five minutes past the starting time, or that reservation becomes void. All reservations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis from faculty, staff and students. They may be taken one day in advance by phone from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at 781-7700, x5294. No equipment is provided.

Marston Hall
Marston Hall was named after the Reverend W.S. Marston, a pioneer Baptist minister and missionary to the Missouri Territory. Construction of the building began in 1914 after a fire destroyed William Jewell's first science building in 1913, only a few days before fall semester was to begin. For several professors, the Wornall Hall fire meant the destruction of a lifetime of research. But they immediately began work to ready an old, vacant building as a temporary science hall.

Although work on the new science building began soon after, the contractor declared bankruptcy within a year, and all building ceased. Desperate for space, the Chemistry and Physics Departments moved into the new building anyway, and professors partitioned off the uncompleted floors. They installed much of the laboratory plumbing and wiring themselves on weekends. The rest of the building was completed after several years.

Marston currently houses:

Advancement Office
Alumni/Development Office
Education Department
Office of Reprographics
Harriman-Jewell Series Offices
History Department
Nursing Department
Political Science Department
Philosophy Department

Pillsbury Music Center
The Pillsbury Music Center was dedicated on October 26, 1974. This most functional music facility in the Midwest serves the needs of the entire campus. It was built, like most other buildings on campus, out of the need for expanded facilities. The building, although dedicated in 1974, did not receive its name until 1979.

Pillsbury currently houses:

Forbis Recital Hall
Lovan Community School of Music
Music Department

President’s Home
In 1904, the Board of Trustees acted on a request by Mr. A.D. Brown of St. Louis (who donated the money for Brown Gymnasium) to provide a proper home for the college’s president, his friend Dr. Greene. He also felt it needed to be a beautiful home to host campus guests, as well as to host members of the college community. Mr. Brown offered to pay for the construction of the home if the trustees would spend $15,000 to furnish it. They agreed. Four acres of land were purchased to accommodate the home and grounds. This is the property to the west of the cemetery.

The President’s Home also has undergone several major renovations in its time. After being used as housing for female students during World War II (Melrose Hall was used to house Naval cadets), as classroom space during the major renovations to Jewell Hall in 1947-48, and as quarters for the Music Department before its move to Gano Chapel, the President’s Home was refurbished in 1949 and again became the home of the college’s president. There was also a major renovation during 1995.

Terry Barnes Memorial Fountain
Completed in the Spring of 2000, the Terry D. Barnes Memorial Fountain is located at the main campus entrance at Mill Street and R.E. Bowles Drive. It was a generous gift from the family of Mr. Barnes, a member of the Jewell class of 1989. The fountain is situated just behind the arc-shaped brick marquee sign at the campus entrance. The interactive fountain plaza design allows visitors to walk through the memorial.

Water Tower
Now a William Jewell landmark, the old water tower was erected around 1896. A large wooden tank was housed at the top, and water was pumped up to the tower from a spring on the east side of the hill. Histories of the college report that the pump engine sounded like a machine gun in action. Water from the tower was used in science laboratories and in case of fires. The tower supplied water to two reservoir ponds, from which ice was cut in the winter and stored year-round in sawdust in the college ice house.

White Science Center
The White Science Center, dedicated October 11, 1992, more than doubled the space previously available at William Jewell College for teaching, research, and learning in mathematics, natural sciences, and computer science. It is named for Mr. John F. White, trustee of the College, and his wife, Penny Kern White. White Science Center is dedicated to three influential teachers who had a lasting impact on their lives.

The Observatory, provided by the Pillsbury Foundation of St. Louis, holds a handcrafted telescope (1992), which is not a research instrument but is the finest available for undergraduate teaching. It is the highest point in Clay County and one of the highest points in Missouri. The Observatory is part of a remarkable instructional complex, which includes twenty-three separate dedicated laboratories in addition to other student and faculty research areas, classrooms, conference and seminar spaces, and computer laboratories.

WSC currently houses:

Biology Department
Chemistry Department
Computer Studies Department
Mathematics Department
Physics Department

Yates-Gill College Union
For many years the needs of William Jewell students were partially met by using the first floor of one of the residence halls as a college union. However, in 1957 the administration’s dream of having a building dedicated to serving the students and the broader community materialized when a member of the William Jewell College Board of Trustees, Mr. William F. Yates, provided the leadership gift to support the project. Mr. Yates was of the class of 1898 and a prominent banker from Richmond, Missouri. He was a loyal trustee and benefactor of the college for many years. The building was dedicated on November 9, 1957.

Mr. Yates served on the Richmond bank board with a local farmer and businessman named Ray Gill. Mr. Yates was instrumental in bringing Mr. Gill to the William Jewell family, and later Mr. Gill served on the Board of Trustees for over twenty years and still serves as a Trustee Emeritus today. In 2006, Ray and Lucille Gill provided the leadership gift to secure the renovation of Yates College Union.

New construction has added 15,000 square feet to the existing structure. The two story atrium, coffee shop, meeting rooms, formal dining room, publicly accessible elevators and the glass and columned façade fronting the Quad came from the renovation. The building was rededicated and renamed the Yates-Gill College Union on September 13, 2006 to honor the wonderful legacy left by the Yates and Gill families.

Campus Geography - Residence Halls

Browning Hall
Browning Hall was finished in 1967 to accommodate approximately 150 men. It was named for W. P. Browning, Jr., long time trustee and friend of the College. It now houses upper-class men and women.

Eaton Hall
Completed in 1958, Eaton Hall was the successor to Old Ely. Eaton Hall is named for Professor James R. Eaton, a distinguished teacher at the college from 1870 to 1897. It was completed at a cost of $461,174. It houses approximately 125 first-year men.

Ely Hall
New Ely Hall was built to accommodate a large number of students as the college experienced rapid growth. Built in 1910 and 1911, Ely Hall was named for Mr. Lewis B. Ely of Carrollton, Missouri, for whom Old Ely Hall had been named. It houses approximately 125 first-year women.

Jones Hall
Jones Hall is named for Mr. Minetry Jones, former Vice President of the College. It was finished in 1954 at a cost of $120,981. Jones was built to accommodate the growing female population at the college, and now houses 41 upper-class men.

Language and Honors House (former Sigma Nu House)
This building is located in the fraternity complex and was the first building erected in that part of campus.

Melrose Hall
Newly renovated in 2004, after significant damage from the May 4, 2003 tornado, Melrose was ready for Fall 2004! It is home, once again, to 60 first-year women and has suite style bathrooms.

Semple Hall
Shortly after Jones Hall was finished, the Board of Trustees realized more space was needed to replace the inadequate off-campus housing in which the women of William Jewell College lived. Thus, construction began on a third residence hall for women in 1956. Dedicated on November 9, 1957, Semple Hall houses 121 women and was completed at a cost of $436,426. Semple Hall is named for Dr. Robert Baylor Semple, a former professor at the college. He served at William Jewell for forty years, retiring in 1908. Semple Wing was added in the late 1960s to accommodate an additional 70 women.
