Irvin Hall's Location on Campus
By 1850 new activities were coming; a cricket club with the wicket field where Irvin Hall now stands, gymnastic exhibitions on a third-floor room next to the Literary halls, campus baseball teams.
In June of 1905 the Commencement procession marched past Brice Hall, which was being enlarged to three times its former size, and paused at Hepburn Hall to dedicate the building. Then it moved on to the broad Commencement tent, on the site of Irvin Hall, where the Secretary of War William Howard Taft gave an address on ‘The Duties of Citizenship.’ Among the straight-backed chairs on the platform a sturdy new settee from the Hepburn Hall parlor was provided for the speaker. Taft was the son-in-law of John W. Herron, president of the Board of Trustees. Photo: 1905 Procession led by William Howard Taft, Edgar E. Brandon, and Miami president Guy Potter Benton.
FIELD WHERE IRVIN HALL IS NOW LOCATED IN 1910
Beyond High Street a clatter of building came from a new residence for freshman men, the first unit of the present Swing Hall. Before these buildings were done, the first wing of the Industrial Arts Building (Gaskill Hall), and a new classroom building (Irvin Hall) on the site of the old women’s tennis courts just east of the Library.
