University G First For Use By J. P. In 1851, at the suggestion o: Legislature granted $10,000 f chapel for the university. -A care of investigation and arra1 It was decided that with appi be attained from fees during chapel could be built. The edifice was to be constructed in the center of Sumter Street and was to be completed by October 1, 1853. The name of the new chapel was to be College Hall. The hall was not finished until November 28, 1855 and the cost ran to $29, 482.62. The first services were held in April of that year when the first sermon was delivered by President James H.

Several experiments were made by carpet ing the floor, stuffing the space between the floor and the base ment with moss to remedy this de fect, but all failed. After large sums had been spent to check the hearing qualities of the hall, a storm destroyed part of the roof the 'year after it was completed and it was never used as a chapel. The basement of the building was fitted up in 1860 as a public examination hall, and in 1863 it was turned into a 300-bed hospital for the Confederate Army. When the Federal authorities took over in May, 1865, the chapel was used by them. The extra session of the Legislature that convened October 1865, met in this building, the House in the main hall, the Senate in the basement. The House of Representatives moved to the Clariosophic Hall because of acous tics. The adjutant and inspector gen eral of South Carolina secured per mission from the board in 1870 to use College Hall as an arsenal. The building was used for that purpose for seven years. In 1885 there was a move to sell the building and construct a new one in its stead, but College Hall un derwent complete renovation and remained standing.
