Mary Stuart Opens its Doors

Mary Stuart Hall was completed in 1953 and named after Bishop Stuart's wife, who had worked hard for the betterment of women education during her time in Uganda. The Hall's first extension; as shown in the first picture, were completed in 1959. Extensions included an enlargement of the Dining Hall and construction of a new wing, which included a delightful Junior Common Room and a small set of rooms for research students.

Hall Culture

The hall is the biggest female hall known as "Box" due to the physical structure of the hall. It houses female students who appropriately refer to themselves "Boxers" and form the other half of the "Lumbox" solidarity with Lumumba Hall.
