In 1931 a state appropriation of $30,000 completed the payment of the investment certificates for the stadium. The title to the property was passed to the state of California. The first unit of the expansion plan of the college was the construction of the McLane Hall east of the main building. This was completed in 1928 at a cost of approximately $200,000. A new library, built at a cost of $225,000, was completed in September, 1932. The last unit in the development program was the construction of the $20,000 field house at the stadium. Later a five-acre tract north of the stadium was completed. Enrollment reached 1,493 by 1930 and Dr. Thomas and the Fresno representatives in the legislature began the bitter five year battle to give Fresno status as a liberal arts college, rather than just a teachers' college. During 1935 the college campus was increased to twenty- five acres. A special study was made by the state department of architecture as to the future building needs and a comprehensive plan of future building construction was developed. 13
