Excerpt from La Salle College Bulletin, 1965-1966, Vol. 46 Since 1945, La Salle has experienced the most dramatic period of expansion in its history. Present enrollment in both Day and Evening Divisions is approximately students, as compared to a 1940 enrollment of about 400. It the last 17 years, 12 new buildings have been added to the campus. The Evening Division was inaugurated in 1946 in response to the needs of industry throughout the Delaware Valley; within 10 years evening classes were utilizing every available inch of classroom space. In 1951 the College added the Dixon estate in Elkins Park and established Anselm Hall as a House of Studies for student Brothers. In 1952, a new library was erected; and the following year the first of five new dormitories was opened to residence students. By 1955 the rapid growth of the College made it necessary to reorganize the administrative pattern into separate schools of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, and the Evening Division. The latest steps in the physical development of La Salle are the College Union, opened in 1959; The Roland Holroyd Science Center, 1960; two new Freshman residence halls, 1962; Olney Gardens, a local apartment, purchased and converted to a residence hall in 1964; a new student chapel in 1965; and two new student residence halls opened in September, 1966. A new classroom building and a physical recreation building, now under construction, are scheduled for 1971 occupancy. Since February, 1967, women students have been accepted into the previously all male Evening Division. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
