La Guardia Hall
LA GUARDIA HALL, whose tower dominates the campus and is featured on the College seal, was "Dedicated by the Students and Faculty to the memory of Fiorello La Guardia, Mayor of the City of New York 1934-1945. " This building has served the College in many ways. At one time it was the library. It later became the center for student activities and co-curricular life. It is to be rehabilitated to house the Institute for the Study of the Borough of Brooklyn and the college art gallery and to be the center for many special college activities.

"Advanced education is a responsibility of government and every boy or girl who can absorb it is entitled to it. " (Address by Mayor La Guardia at the Inauguration of President Harry D. Gideonse.)
