CAMPUS BUILDINGS
Phi Kappa Once Housed
Union Soldiers, Horses
By Gene Harper
Phi Kappa Ilall, completed in 1836, has one bit; “blot” on its record
and this was beyond the control of its members. The red brick build
ing was used as General Sherman’s adjutant headquarters.
The downstairs floor was convert
ed into a stable, and the upper por
tion of the building was used as a
"house of revelry” by Union soldiers.
Patches on the walls try to hide
marks left by boisterous Yankees,
who also destroyed the library.
The building has been the regu
lar meeting place of Phi Kappa Lit
erary Society.
Phi Kappa was organized In 1820
by Joseph Henry Lumpkin, first
Chief Justice of Georgia. Alexander
H. Stephens, vice president of the
Confederacy, led in raising funds to
pay off the debts for erecting the
hall. *
In addition to having Lumpkin and
Stephens as founders, Phi Kappa is
also noted as being the first place
where Henry Grady exercised his ora
torical powers. Andrew Jackson,
James K. Polk, James Buchanan,
John Tyler and Napoleon III are list
ed among the honorary members of
the society.
This practice of bestowing honor
ary membership is still in effect and
Franklin D. Roosevelt was recipient
of the honor in 1937.
The ground floor of the hall is un
impressive from an architcetural
standpoint, but the assembly hall on
second floor contains well chosen fur
nishings, pictures, and a molded
ceiling in the Christopher Wren man
ner. Recently an air conditioning
system and an $800 chandelier was
installed in the building.
For many years, Phi Kappa guard
ed its hall from intrusion by all ex
cept its own members. Today the
lower floor is occupied by the Uni
versity Book Store.
