Boston College Gasson Hall is built.

Architect: Maginnis & Walsh. Originally Recitation Hall, it is designed in the English Collegiate Gothic style and is the first building on the new campus located on former site of the Amos Lawrence farm at today’s 1400 Commonwealth Avenue. There are 71 students in the first class. The school expands to the adjacent Liggett estate in 1941, to the former Newton College of the Sacred Heart in 1974, and to land formerly belonging to the archdiocese in Brighton in 2004. Women are first admitted to the education school in 1923, and the school becomes fully coeducational by 1970.
