 In the post @-@ war era , BGSU constructed temporary structures to keep up with the increased housing demands for veterans and their families . BGSU added 40 trailers to house male and married students in 1945 , known as " Falcon Heights " . In 1946 , the university added 15 steel buildings to house male students in an area near the football stadium that became known as " Tin Pan Alley " . By the late 1940s , the student house shortage became so severe that the nearby National Guard Armory and ODOT garage were converted to house male students . The Federal Housing Authority provided two wooden barracks , ten trailers , and more steel buildings . The BGSU Army ROTC was established on campus in 1948 as enrollment increased dramatically in the post war era . The university continued to add academic programs as the enrollment increased during the mid to late 1940s , including the Graduate School in 1948 after Dr. Emerson Shuck led the effort to create school . By 1950 , enrollment grew to new record highs , with over 5 @,@ 000 students .
