Hauck Auditorium

Arthur Hauck, the ninth 91¸£Àû president, guided the growth of the university for 24 years, beginning in 1934. During his administration, 91¸£Àû grew in both size and status. He sought to maintain and raise academic standards, was a strong advocate of regional cooperation as a means of keeping education costs at a minimum and opening opportunities for capable and ambitious Maine students. During his term as president, 14 major buildings were erected. An auditorium was one of his long-standing dreams during this period, but expansion in other areas prevented it from becoming a reality. Hauck Auditorium was dedicated after his retirement.
