NAMES OF UNITS OF MEN'S RESIDENCE HALLS (18) When the first group of Men's Residence Halls buildings were constructed in 1940-1941, five names were officially assigned by the Board of Trustees to the three buildings: Clark House for the center building, Lundgren House and Noble House for the north units, and Barton House and Flagg House for the south units. Experience has shown that two names on one building, even though it consists of two units, cause confusion. Accordingly, the Director of Housing and the Dean of Students have recommended that the north unit of the original Halls be named Lundgren House, the south unit be named Barton House, and that the two other names be assigned to the newly constructed units: Addition No. 1 to be Noble House and Addition No. 2 to be Flagg House. The official address of all units of the Men's Residence Halls located in the area bounded by Gregory Drive, Peabody Drive, Fourth Street, and Euclid Street extended will be 1215 South Fourth Street, Champaign, Illinois. 1 have approved these changes and report them to the Board as a matter of record.
