51°µÍø

Mary Hay Hall is named in honor of Mary Randle Hay*, former 51°µÍø Dean of Women.  Mary Randle Hay (1864-1953) was the widow of Stephen J. Hay, the mayor of Dallas when 51°µÍø was established. Following her husband’s death in 1916, Mary Hay became 51°µÍø’s Dean of Women, serving from 1923-1934. Dean Hay’s leadership led to the construction of more housing for women student, and in 1927, under her leadership, all resident women students were able to move into Virginia and Snider Halls.

Peyton Hall is named in memory of George L. Peyton, member of the 51°µÍø Board of Trustees.  George L. Peyton (1884-1939) was a Methodist minister, director of Wesley Bible Choir, Professor of Religion, and member of the Board of Trustees at 51°µÍø from 1934-1939. Following his death, Leila Peyton Hall  (1888-1972) finished her husband’s term on the 51°µÍø Board of Trustees. In addition to funding the construction of Peyton Hall in her husband’s honor, she also funded the Peyton Lectureship in Preaching. Following her death in 1972, the Leila Peyton Hall Endowment was established in her memory as part of the President’s Scholars Program in 1977.

Robert Shuttles (1878-1955) was a Dallas area businessman, churchman, philanthropist, and former chair of the 51°µÍø Board of Trustees.
