Drayer: Drayer Hall was the first residence hall in Dickinson’s history built by the College solely for women. It was also the first new building constructed on the Benjamin Rush campus, a twelve-acre tract which had been acquired from the Moore Estate in 1932. Drayer was appropriately dedicated on what the College had designated as Women’s Day, May 1, 1952. Drayer Hall was designed by Sydney E. Martin and was named in honor of Sumner M. Drayer (Class of 1902) and his wife, Agnes. In addition, Mary Sharp Foucht contributed funds to establish the Sharp Memorial Lounge in memory of her father, Alexander Sharp, Class of 1883.
