After a new gym was built, women took over the former gym and a Women&rsquo;s Student Government was formed. She began to call for more dormitories, and President Clarence Little helped her cause. When the first of the new dorms was built, it was named Colvin Hall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View map Caroline Colvin was a history professor at the University of Maine starting in 1902.
