"If you can spell it, you can live there." Even if you can't get the letters in the right order on the first try, you'll still enjoy Pflueger's participation in Songfest during Homecoming week and the Halloween dance they host each year in their large lounge. And here's a real-estate-agent plus: it's one of two halls on campus (Foss is the other) that has laundry facilities on each wing!

Named for Jesse P. Pflueger, professor of religion and philosophy from 1930 to 1958.
 


Jesse P. Pflueger

Pflueger Hall was built in 1962. It was designed to be a three story dormitory to house 212 male students on lower campus, but since then has been converted to house both male and female students. The building was named to honor a very loved professor named Dr. Jesse P. Pflueger. Son of a college professor, Dr. Pflueger was born June 6, 1888 and raised in a dormitory in Capital University, Columbus, Ohio. He got his education there, taking every course in the curriculum of that institution. From there he went to Tulane University and studied medicine and then on to Leipzig University in Germany.
