Masters Hall was constructed in 1920.  At one time, the entire college administration was housed on the first floor of this building. Classrooms were located on the second floor and dormitory rooms were on the third floor.

Masters is currently home to the English & Communications, History, Education and Foreign Language (French, Spanish, Latin, Italian and German) departments. Also housed in Masters Hall are the Writing Center, a video conferencing room, the Digital Language Lab and the Graduate Division.

Harry V. Masters

Harry Victor Masters (1902-1983) became president of Albright College in 1938. Albright had 380 students enrolled and World War II was looming.

The Masters era is often referred to as Albright's "Golden Years," as his leadership and character guided Albright for 26 years. During his tenure, the student body increased to almost 900 students. He oversaw the construction of Gingrich Library, the Bollman Center and the residence hall quad, and purchased what is now Albright Court and some 50 acres of land.

Masters retired in 1964 and Masters Hall was dedicated in his honor in 1965.
