                  <text>In 1956, the School of Design (SOD) moved from World War II-era Army barracks on campus into the school’s former library, recently rededicated as Brooks Hall. Although SOD Dean Henry Kamphoefner had complained to Chancellor J.W. Harrelson that the barracks were “disreputable looking,” he also despised Brooks’ eclectic neoclassical style and called its rotunda “old ugliness'' in a 1984 letter. Today, scholars such as Dr. Lyra D. Monteiro criticize neoclassical architecture because the United States’ founders used it to evoke Ancient Greece and Rome, which the white founders in turn used to justify “righteous empire and civilized slave ownership.” Therefore, “classical architecture is not only associated with power but specifically with white power.” Indeed, an undated essay about Brooks Hall in the University Archives proudly compared it to the home of Thomas Jefferson, third president and enslaver of over six hundred humans.</text>

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;Design students had a reputation for spending all their time at Brooks Hall, according to the 1990 Agromeck, even setting up sleeping cots in studios to take “whatever naps could be squeezed in.” They isolated themselves in part because they felt different from classmates in other departments; the School of Design was full of “non-conforming artists among engineers and farmers,” noted alumnus Frederick Taylor. But their hours in the studio were also a result of their demanding, highly competitive coursework; alumnus Conrad Taylor recalled that after Kamphoefner’s first year being dean, only twenty-three out of the original one hundred first years remained.&amp;nbsp; Still, noted alumnus Murray Whisnant “we were glad to work around the clock for the ‘cause’ (and sleep through 8 o’clock plumbing classes).”&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;“Somewhere in a small place, almost isolated from everything, without tradition in one field there is a spark ignited,” Eduardo Catalano recalled years after his tenure at NC State University. That spark in Raleigh allowed him to inspire students as well as create the “Raleigh House” or “Catalano House,” which scholar Bob Burns said brought “international acclaim to the school of design, the city, and the state.” The house, which Catalano built and lived in from 1954 to 1956, was famous for a hyperbolic paraboloid roof that was four thousand square feet in area and stood on just two low supports, according to &lt;em&gt;House and Home &lt;/em&gt;magazine&lt;em&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

Caminos, a “good, left-leaning person” according to alumnus Abie Harris, entered students in competitions designing worker housing. Along with Catalano, Caminos won an international competition for designing a house to fit an emerging innovation, the central air-conditioning unit. He left NC State in 1962 to teach at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There, he researched “housing for Third World Countries” according to Harris and innovated the Urban Settlement Design in Developing Countries program to train students from “developing countries,” according to son Carlos Caminos.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

              <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Brooks Hall, off Pullen Road on North Carolina State University’s North Campus has a diverse history. It is the site where trailblazing professors who emigrated from around the world worked to inspire students. It housed the first library of the university. Its namesake, Eugene Clyde Brooks, was a complicated figure whose policies both enhanced and limited education.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;The physical building originally housed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://mtan-draft.omeka.chass.ncsu.edu/items/show/5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;D.H. Hill Jr. Library&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;, according to a 1925 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Technician &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;article. But after the library moved to a larger facility in 1955, scholar Robert “Bob” Burns said the School of Design (SOD) housed offices, studios, and classes in Brooks. By the time SOD moved in, Dean Henry Kamphoefner had hired a faculty that he told &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;NC Architects &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;“discarded the deadly eclecticism and senselessness of the American Beaux Arts to search for a new design expression compatible to modern times [and] committed to design as a social art.” Scholar Victoria Ballard Bell noted that at the suggestion of sociologist Lewis Mumford, Kamphoefner looked outside the United States for faculty, hiring “many leaders of the international Modernist movement.”  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;From 1948-1959, professors and instructors came from Argentina, Austria, Australia, Chile, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Italy, Poland, and South Africa, according to Burns’ notes. In contrast, the 1956 catalog showed that the rest of the university’s faculty trained in just five countries. “Imagine having had teachers whose names were Parker, Allen and Grigg,” noted alumnus Marley Carroll, “now having professors named Buisson, Caminos, Catalano, Matsumoto, [and] Sengupta.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Scholar Paolo Favole argued Modernism travelled from Europe to the United States and was “revolutionary in character.” Early SOD appointees supported the claim; Maciej “Matthew” Nowicki was a Polish architect who resisted Nazi occupation with clandestine classes during World War II. He and wife Stanislava both taught at NC State, according to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Student Publications&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;, and Maciej designed Dorton Arena at the NC State Fairgrounds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;In 1948, Kamphoefner also hired &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://mtan-draft.omeka.chass.ncsu.edu/items/show/16"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;George Matsumoto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;, namesake for the Matsumoto Wing. A decade later, Kamphoefner hired Asit Narayan Sengupta to teach architectural drawing, a University of Calcutta graduate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Favole reported the entire “new world” embraced Modernism, including the two Argentinian architects who became NC State’s first Latin faculty members. Eduardo Catalano oversaw the Department of Architecture at NC State from 1951-1955 because, he later reflected, “of the teachers who compensated their innocence with a pursue [&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;sic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;] for discovery.” In 1952, Horacio Caminos arrived, “fleeing Argentina from [President Juan] Peron” according to student Abie Harris. Caminos published with students and provided “massive help” on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Student Publications &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;during his decade-long tenure, according to student Arthur Cogswell. Catalano and Caminos also “upheld a tradition of experimentalism,” according to Kamphoefner, all while winning national awards. From 1956 to 1957, Chilean Enrique Montenegro taught design.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Catalano’s first year was “tough for me and the students,” he recalled in a 1994 interview. “First my language and my lack of experience. And they belonged to another generation…who see that outsider come in from somewhere when they were not used to that.” But he also told Burns that in Raleigh, “no one had the intellectual pretense of people from large cities, only ears to listen and winning hearts and hands to do hard work.” Alumni revered the Latinx professors; John Atkins III reported Catalano “extracted from students their highest creative potential,” and Harris reflected Caminos “had more influence on me” than anyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Still, Bell pointed out, racism “endemic to the South, to the nation, and to the architecture profession” pervaded the school. In 1951, Chancellor J.W. Harrelson reminded Kamphoefner that “no Negro will be enrolled for any curriculum offered in any college for Negroes in North Carolina.” Catalano reflected in 1994 that he probably remained Acting Head of Architecture for his NC State tenure because “no foreigner could be head.” Finally, a 1975 federal report noted SOD had just one “American Negro” professor, Charles Joyner. Nevertheless, Catalano, Caminos, Joyner, and non-US Modernists ensured students were “subjected to as many points of view as there are men on the faculty,” the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Winston-Salem Journal-Sentinel &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;reported. Arthur J. Clement was the first African American graduate of the School of Design in 1971, and Phil Freelon, a noted architect best known for designing the Smithsonian &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;National Museum of African American History and Culture, was a student there in the 1970s.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;The school historically honored scholars because of such commitment to student progress. For instance, the first sentence of the 1956 program announcing Brooks Hall’s dedication explained “Dr. Eugene Clyde Brooks was elected president of North Carolina State College after long and distinguished service to the state in the betterment of its educational program.” A University Archives’ biography proved the point: Brooks, a Greene County native born in 1871, had been Superintendent of Goldsboro Schools and a professor of education before becoming State Superintendent of Public Instruction in 1919.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;As State Superintendent, Brooks convinced the General Assembly to pay part of each schoolteacher’s salary in 1919, a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;News and Observer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;article noted. In 1921, a colleague recalled, Brooks got lawmakers to loan $5 million so poor, rural school districts could construct bigger facilities. Scholar William B. Gatewood noted Brooks also pushed the General Assembly to fund more training programs for “negro teachers” in 1919, and he won an appropriation of $1 million for segregated “Negro schools” in 1921. Finally, Brooks declared in a 1921 letter that white officials should “talk to negroes and not about them.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;But Brooks revealed segregationist assumptions when speaking with African Americans. In a September 1919 meeting with African American Raleigh leaders, Brooks pushed a Declaration of Principles that condemned “intermingling of the races in terms of social equality.” Historian Sarah Caroline Thuesen argued Brooks implied “Black educational advancement hinged on keeping Black ‘agitation’ at bay.” In addition, Brooks’ own Director of Negro Education complained “officials spent ten times as much on white school buildings during the 1920s as they did on black schools.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;When Brooks became NC State’s Chancellor in 1923, he used permanent building funds to renovate and construct twenty-two buildings, according to historian David Lockmiller. But seven years later, Brooks noted in his annual report, the NC General Assembly slashed the college’s budget because of the Great Depression--right as enrollment increased. Brooks also navigated the school through the NC General Assembly’s initiative to consolidate three public universities under one administration and eliminate duplicate departments. The school survived the Depression and Brooks protected Raleigh’s Engineering program, noted historian Alice Reagan, but “the pressure of Consolidation” exhausted him. In November 1933, he suffered an arterial thrombosis and paralysis that forced him to step down. He died in 1947. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Brooks’ legacy lived on, however, through his 1911 children’s textbook &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;The Story of Cotton.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt; Brooks told young readers that white people were “the superior race,” and that “in the earlier days, freedom for [the enslaved African American] was impossible, for in his semi-savage state the life, liberty, and happiness of the white race would thereby have been endangered.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;The school chose to name Brooks Hall after a man who improved North Carolina’s public education system, although, following the dominant white cultural norms of the time, he legitimized white supremacy and preserved segregation within that system. Design students found meaning in the building, however, because of the diverse scholars who chose to teach within its walls.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
