    Description
    Copley Hall was completed in 1932 as a 212 room dormitory. It still serves in that capacity today. It is named for Thomas Copley, S.J. (ca. 1595-1652), who embarked for Maryland in 1637 and hoped to found a college as early as 1640. Among its many external decorations is a large Latin inscription on its middle gable which reads: "Moribus Antiquis Res Stat Loyolaea Virisque." This has been translated as: "Loyola's fortune still may hope to thrive, if men and mold like those of old survive." The south gable of the hall bears the family crest of St. Ignatius Loyola who founded the Society of Jesus, the lily of the seal of the University of Paris where he was educated, and the seal of the Society of Jesus.
