The Cavanaugh Hall of Science bears the name of Charles J. Cavanaugh, whose
teaching career spanned 1945 to 1977 as professor of biology at his alma mater,
Louisiana College. Prof Cavanaugh, as he was affectionately known, often
lectured without notes. He exemplified the Christian faith in his life and
pedagogy as he influenced students entering all walks of life, including those
who became doctors, dentists, nurses, and science teachers. Prof Cavanaugh
developed and directed an outstanding pre-med program from which over ninety
percent of students who applied to medical, dental, and veterinary schools were
accepted. Built in 1969 and named in 1974 to honor Prof Cavanaugh, the facility
contains offices, classrooms, and laboratories for biology, chemistry, computer
science, engineering, mathematics, and nursing.
