One of the first buildings constructed when the college moved from Marion Square in 1922. Bond Hall is the college’s main administrative building. It was named after Col. Oliver J. Bond (Class of 1886) who served as president from 1908 to 1931.

bulldog monument

Army Maj. Sam M. Savas, Jr., Class of 1951, conceived the idea of a brass bulldog while he was teaching military science from 1962 to 1965.

The monument also bears the name of his son, Navy Lt. Sam M. Savas III, Class of 1979, who died during a military rescue operation 20 years later.
