YSU in 1948
 

Construction began on an expanded auditorium in the Liberal Arts building (now Jones Hall) in which seating would be increased from 350 to 800. As student enrollment soared to a record 4,650, new course offerings were considered by the Administration, such as Army ROTC. William H. Taft resigned his teaching positions in English and business administration to accept a job at another institution. Local Abraham Lincoln scholar John H. Cramer, History Department, died of a heart attack just six days after the publication of this third book, and the Rev. Albert L. Linder assumed his role as YoCo’s first Protestant chaplain, a post he would hold until 1966.
