After disposing of two of the three remaining businesses, the Company’s listing on the Copenhagen stock exchange, which dates back to 1897, was transferred to the third and last business unit, Santa Fe Group Limited, which is headquartered in London, United Kingdom.

Again under the National Youth Administration, the college started construction of a long awaited dormitory in 1940.

A new library was sorely needed as Paul E. Guitteau took over the presidency in 1951.

South campus was dedicated on September 21, 1963.
