  Gasson Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is named after the 13th president of Boston College, Thomas I. Gasson, SJ, considered BC's "second founder." Designed by Charles Donagh Maginnis in 1908, Gasson Hall is a seminal example of Collegiate Gothic architecture in North America.
Combining the Gothic style of his medieval precedent with the axes, balance and symmetry of the Beaux-Arts style, he proposed a vast complex of academic buildings set in a cruciform plan.
Maginnis' design broke from the traditional Oxbridge models that had inspired it--and that had till then characterized Gothic architecture on American campuses.

Maginnis learned from Father O'Reilly that he was planning on building a new church and he wanted the 'author of that article to design it'.
The young Maginnis until now had been wholly engaged in civic problems and before accepting the commission offered him by Father O'Reilly, he asked how could the pastor trust him as competent to make a worthy design for his church when all he had done was to characterize existing shortcomings.
Maginnis always brought a high degree of enthusiasm and appreciation of the real possibilities of material, the value of wall surfaces, and the efficient massing of ornament, light, and shade, to the project at hand.
