MURPHY HALL
 Murphy Hall: Established in
1964, Murphy Hall is named after Fr. William J. Murphy, S.J.
In 1936, he was appointed faculty moderator of athletics. By
1941, his 11th year at John Carroll, he was moderator of the
band, prefect of Bernet Hall, moderator of the Carroll Union,
and Dean of Men. In spite of all his duties he still found time
to play the violin. In 1964, Murphy Hall allowed 400 sophomore
and junior men to live on campus instead of in homes in University
Heights. It included a small chapel, main parlor, recreation
and television room, laundry and storage areas for all residents,
as well as nine suites for counselors and a chaplain. It was
the fourth major addition and the largest to John Carroll since
1957. Murphy Hall brought the total of students residing at John
Carroll to just over 1,000. In the fall of 1969, 48 rooms were
set-aside for women to live in. This was the first co-ed residence
hall. It was dedicated on October 10, 1964.
