New floor celebrates upcoming 100th Anniversary!

One of the most historic buildings on campus is Warner Hall, named in memory of Emalea Pusey Warner, who later became the first woman member of the Board of Trustees. Her vision in helping to create the Women's College on campus is enshrined in the beautiful residence hall building that was opened in 1914 and bears her name. When the basement area recently needed some new flooring a decision was made to inlay a reference to the upcoming 100 year anniversary of the building's opening.  It allows residents and visitors to recall and reflect on the beginnings of the Women's College, it's eventual integration into the University, and the significant milestone that 100 years of service respresents for this unique home to women at UD.
