Knoles Hall
This hall, originally the campus' Administration Building, was named on May 26, 1972 after Tully Cleon Knoles, President of the College for 27 years, from 1919 to 1946, and Chancellor for 13 years. He was revered as a wide-ranging scholar, dramatic speaker, able adminitrator and gifted Christian teacher during his administration. Knoles was instrumental in raising the scholastic standards and prestige of Pacific. He recognized that the growing competition of colleges then in the Bay Area would affect the future status of Pacific: either to become a junior college, a small four-year college, or that there should be a search begun for another site to become a full-sized college. (Incidentally, his favorite physical excersize was a daily ride on a saddle horse, and he delighted in opportunities to demonstrate his skill with the lasso.)
