               This residence was opened in 2006 and bears the name of Leslie A. Prince, a dedicated teacher, coach and administrator. Between his arrival on campus in 1946 and his retirement in 1980, Les Prince served McMaster in a variety of roles including Assistant Director of Athletics, varsity coach, Director of Athletics, Dean of Men and Dean of Students.

               He was a long-serving Hall Master in Student Housing, living with his family on-campus until after his retirement.
