Who is this "Hugh Poland"? History of our hall name...

"Hugh Poland earned nine varsity letters during his career on the Hill in the early 1930s, three each in football, basketball and baseball. Those were the days when the tradition-rich Western athletic program was beginning to make a name for itself. The Tompkinsville native was perhaps his best on the diamond, where the catcher played professionally for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds..."

Hugh Poland was a WWII veteran. Mr. Poland also served on the WKU Board of Regents from 1957-1981, the first to serve over 20 years. The hall was built way back in 1969, and recently became a renovated, single-gender residence hall. It was rededicated with the Poland family in the spring of 2006. Housing approx. 400 first-year women on 8 floors, Hugh Poland Hall will open again for Master Plan in only 25 days!
