MU | A r c h i v e s Thanks to the Ulreys, Manchester constructed a new men’s dormitory on the west side of campus, large enough to house 100 students. With Miriam’s blessing, Manchester named it Calvin Ulrey Hall in honor of her husband. The building served as a men’s dormitory until 1975 when it was designated as the Living-Learning Center – an intentional community for 36 men and 36 women designed to foster brother- sister friendships in a family atmosphere. Living-Learning Center residents often shared meals and participated in special programming in which they explored human relationships and timely social issues. No longer a residence hall, “CU” now houses offices for Human Resources, Advancement, Communication, Marketing, Information Technology and others. “The great private and church-related colleges of America owe their life and existence to benefactors like Mr. Ulrey,” said an article in the MC Bulletin, the precursor to Manchester magazine. “The life and culture of America have been universally enriched by these institutions.” Help solve the mystery We couldn’t get anyone to fess up to two campus pranks depicted in our mystery photos in the Spring 2019 issue. Now we’re curious who can provide more information about these photos: The top image is from the 1950s and the other pictures four students looking at a magazine in a residence hall room. If you have any information about either photo, please let us know. Contact Jeanine by email at [email protected] or by postal mail at: Jeanine Wine Manchester University Funderburg Library 604 E.
