floors of Eaton Hall became a dormitory and the Departments of Philosophy and Religion and Music were assigned offices and classrooms on the first. The Chemistry Building was converted to the use of the Department of Biology in 1930 when the Department of Chemistry moved into the new McGregory Hall. Spear House after a century as a faculty residence and fraternity house was reconstructed in 1935 for the Samuel Colgate Baptist Historical Collection which was transferred to it from the Library. When space in the new James C. Colgate Student Union Building became available for the campus post office and student organizations in 1937, Taylor Hall which had housed them was remodeled for a faculty club and largely furnished with articles from the James B. Colgate mansion in Yonkers which was being demolished.
