The second campus building, the Gymnasium, is built on the hill just south of Old Main. It includes a track, a stage, and a science laboratory in the basement.

Students build a tennis court on what is now Red Square with Professor Ole J. Stuen as coach. Stuen teaches German, Norwegian, mathematics, and science, and later advises the student newspaper and yearbook and starts the alumni association. A former PLA student, Stuen is the first faculty member to hold a graduate degree.

PLA receives full accreditation. Students can now transfer to universities and retain their credits.
