+==The beginning of Ross Hall==
-=== ===
+Ross residence hall was built in 1962, and is named after Dr. Luther Sherman Ross.[3] He was the head of the biology, chemistry, and zoology departments[2] and his wife also worked at Drake University. They were looked at as the “parents” of Drake.I personally believe that is why Ross Hall was to be the married couples dormitory. He was blunt and honest with everyone and “those who know him best love him most.” It has been said, that he was a true friend to most students.[1] Dr. Luther Ross retired in 1935, after he served 40 years as a professor, and was a chairman of the athletic council. He died on Monday April 4th, 1943, at age 78. [2]

+In 1962 the only requirement to live in Ross Hall was to have at least one full time student of Drake University. According to the “Times Delphic”, Ross Hall was to be looked at as a less expensive but satisfactory apartment for Drake students, compared to the off campus Des Moines city’s offerings. Many married couples that resided in Ross Hall occupied a two-bedroom apartment for themselves and their children. A two-bedroom apartment was $85 a month, and single units were $75 a month. Both costs included all utilities except electricity. The limitations of the size of the families were also a concern. The couples were allowed to have two children, if there were to be a third, they would have to find a new place to live. [4]
