History

Mood Hall (named for university President Francis Asbury Mood) was built as a student dormitory, with construction beginning in 1906 and completed in 1908. [3] The hall served as a barracks for students in the Student Army Training Corps during World War I, [4] and again for the V-12 Navy College Training Program during World War II. [3] Since 1965, the hall has held offices for faculty and campus organizations rather than student residences. [5]

Together with the Hugh Roy and Lillie Cullen Building, Mood-Bridwell Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1975 in recognition of its architectural and historical significance. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Albuquerque Indian School</span> Native american boarding school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States

Albuquerque Indian School (AIS) was a Native American boarding school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which operated from 1881 to 1981. It was one of the oldest and largest off-reservation boarding schools in the United States. For most of its history it was run by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). Like other government boarding schools, AIS was modeled after the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, using strict military-style discipline to strip students of their native identity and assimilate them into white American culture. The curriculum focused on literacy and vocational skills, with field work components on farms or railroads for boys and as domestic help for girls. In the 1930s, as the philosophy around Indian education changed, the school shifted away from the military approach and offered more training in traditional crafts like pottery, weaving, and silversmithing.
