Neff Hall opened in 1951 and originally housed the College of Business Administration. The building was named for Frank A. Neff who was a professor of political science and economics, dean of the college of business, registrar, and acting president during his tenure from 1911 to 1950. The building also housed the computer center for many years. Neff Hall currently houses the department of anthropology, the Lowell D. Holmes Anthropology Museum, and the Emory Lindquist Honors Center.
