 Stickney Hall, also called the Campus Cottage, was a nondescript wooden building that served many purposes. It originally stood to the south of [[seabury_hall|Seabury Hall]], and was later moved south of [[boardman_hall|Boardman Hall]]. It was demolished to make way for the [[mccook_academic_building|McCook Academic Building]]. Stickney Hall, also called the Campus Cottage, was a nondescript wooden building that served many purposes.

 Originally intended to be a temporary structure, Stickney stood on the [[long_walk|Long Walk]] until 1931, when it was moved to make way for Cook Commons (later the [[hamlin_hall|Hamlin Dining Hall]]). The [[brownell_club|Brownell Club]], which was organized in 1948, established a room in Stickney Hall in 1950. The structure was demolished in 1962 to make way for McCook Academic Building, which stands on the same site.  Originally intended to be a temporary structure, Stickney stood on the [[long_walk|Long Walk]] until 1931, when it was moved to make way for Cook Commons (later the [[hamlin_hall|Hamlin Dining Hall]]).

 Generally, students did not favor temporary structures like Stickney Hall, which included [[jarvis_scientific_laboratory|Jarvis Scientific Laboratory]] and Boardman Hall, as they continually deviated from the [[burges_william|Burges]] Plan. In March 1891, students voiced their dissatisfaction at seeing Trinity's proposed campus advertised in encyclopedias and magazines, while in actuality, much of it was still yet to be constructed: "the part of the planned great quadrangle already built is one of the finest scholastic buildings in the country and it would be a pity as Trinity grows to see the original plans given up and inferior buildings substituted." ((Trinity Tablet, March 1891)) Generally, students did not favor temporary structures like Stickney Hall, which included [[jarvis_scientific_laboratory|Jarvis Scientific Laboratory]] and Boardman Hall, as they continually deviated from the [[burges_william|Burges]] Plan.

-A [[trustees|Trustees]] meeting held March 15, 1889 had discussed the needs of the growing College, which presently had more students than it could accommodate. The Trustees felt that erecting smaller, temporary buildings was the best measure, rather than limiting enrollment: "the grounds which were originally allotted to the permanent buildings which were contemplated, and of which a portion has been erected, should not be encroached upon; but that they be left unoccupied at present, in order to invite the benefactions of those who may desire to erect memorials in connection with the College." ((Trustees Minutes, Vol. 2, p. 21)) +A [[trustees|Trustees]] meeting held on March 15, 1889 had discussed the needs of the growing College, which presently had more students than it could accommodate.
