1934

Eliot Hall, named in honor of noted educator Charles W. Eliot (1834-1926), was the school's main dormitory for boys. The structure was built in 1934 and is similar in style to Galen Stone Hall for girls on the opposite end of the Palmer campus.

Eliot, president of Harvard University from 1869 to 1909, was one of the most influential American educators of his day. He supported universal education and social mobility regardless of race.

Although never a large financial contributor to Palmer, his endorsement of Brown's school secured hundreds of friends and thousands of dollars.
