Building Program Begins At Stonehill College Stonehill College, North Easton, has started a $2,342,000 expansion and improvement program to remodel and add a wing to the existing science building, and to convert the stable building of neighboring newly acquired Clock Farm into a buildings and grounds complex. The college's existing science building was erected in 1948 at a cost of $50,000 and has served an ever-expanding science program. From 1957 to 1977, the number of students enrolled in science programs doubled, and the number of science majors increased sixfold. As long ago as 1968, expanded science facilities
were the college's highest academic priority. At present, the departments of biology, chemistry, physics, and psychology compete for space. Turn to Page Seven
