Franklin Ray Hall, the girls' dormitory

Much rehabilitation of the University of Shanghai campus was required after the Sino-Japanese war. The lucky junior and senior girls moved into this new building.

One of the senior girls wrote:
I never realized how beautiful the girls' new dormitory is until I came back late this evening. Viewing the new building in the moonlight, I beheld its magnificence, sparkling and cozy. Some of the windows even have draperies and curtains. It looks more like a fine apartment home than a dormitory!
