With the dedication of seven new
buildings at services in the Chapel
yesterday, building construction at
the University reached an all-time
high mark. The completion of the
new Language Building facing Bald
win street, brings the total number
of buildings on the three campuses
to 123.
Old College, built in 1801, is prob
ably the most historic building on
the Franklin campus. When Dr.
Josiah Meigs was elected president
in 1801 he brought with him from
Yhle the blueprints of Connecticut
Hall on the Yale campus, and Old
College was built from those plans.
Adjoining the rooms are small rooms
that were occupied by slaves in the
days before the Civil War when
Southern gentlemen brought their
servants to college.
Demoslhenlan Hull was built in
1833. The ceiling of the meeting
room is surrounded by beautiful
frieze work over 114 years old.
In 1835 Phi Kappa Hall was built.
Alexander H. Stephens, who grad
uated from the University in 1832,
raised the money for its erection.
Phi Kappa Literary Society was
founded by Joseph H. Lumpkin,
the first Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, for whom Lumpkin Law
School was named.
T W. Heed, registrar at the Uni
versity, lives in a white frame house
on the campus now that was one of
the original Franklin College build
ings. It formerly housed the whole
School of Agriculture.
The Academic Building, as it now
stands, was built in 1904. The old
Library Building and the Ivy Build
ing were connected and additions
made to form the Academic Building.
The old Ivy Building is now the left
side of Academic. It was a class
room for many years, a small one-
story building completely covered
with Ivy.
Rock House, on Ag Hill, is another
historic building. It was once the
home of Gov. Wilson Lumpkin. His
daughter sold the building to the
University with the provision that
the buildings never be destroyed. A
whole campus has grown up around
the old building since then. Con
ner Hall, the main agricultural build
ing, is built within 10 feet of it, but
it has never been changed. It stands
today as it was then, and is used as
a classroom. Miss Martha Lumpkin,
the daughter who sold the building,
was the one for whom Atlanta was
named Marthasville.
The Coordinate College has its his
toric buildings, too. Gilmer Hall
was built as a dormitory for fresh
men boys before the Civil War, but
It was never used as such because
the students had to go to war. It
was once a school for boys and was
culled “Old Rock College."
Epicurean Club will entertain with
six social functions during the win
ter quarter. The first affair will he
a cabaret to be held in Pound Audi
torium on Saturday night, Jan. 15.
Glee Club Returns

tion of Hugh Hodgson, with Miss
Minna Hecker, Atlanta coloratura,
and David Barrow, Athens, as so
loists.
After a concert In the Shoreham
Hotel Saturday night, the club was
entertained with a dance by the
Georgia State Society.
Traveling by bus to Annapolis,
Sunday morning, the Georgia sing
ers were the guests of the midship
men at the United States Naval
Academy for dinner, after which they
were shown about the campus by a
reception committee. Presenting a
concert in Mahan Hall at 3 o’clock,
the club returned to Washington
where they were guests on a sight
seeing party of the Georgia State So
ciety under the direction of Mrs.
James W. Thurston, financial secre
tary, and Ed Worthy, acting presi
dent.
