USC's First

Rutledge College, the first build
ing of South Carolina College to
be completed, has a long and in
teresting history. Originally called
"South Building," it was used for
the opening exercises of S. C.
College in 1805.
"South Building" contained not
only the chapel, but also the hall
of the Clariosophic Society, the
library, the old laboratory of
chemistry and physics, and lecture
rooms. In 1813, the library, labo
ratory, and lecture rooms were
converted into dormitories.
As South Carolina College ex
panded and new buildings were
added, "South Building" became
known as, "Old South Building"
and "North Building" (DeSaus
sare College) became "Old North
Building." Agreeing that such
names as "New North," "Center
o Old South," and "West Wing
Old North" looked rather con
fusing in the official catalogue,
the trustees got together in 1848
and decided to name the buildings
after eminent alumni.
"Old South Building" took its
new name from John Rutledge,
who was not an alumnus but a
distinguished South Carolina
statesman of the eighteenth cen
tury.
In 1855, a fire destroyed the
chapel and East Rutledge and
badly damaged the west wing. The
whole building had to be rebuilt.
During this time, the architecture
of Rutledge College, formerly a
carbon copy of that of DeSaus
sure, was simplified. The ex
terior, with minor exceptions (such
as a bronze plaque added in 1938,
by the Blue Key fraternity) has
not been changed to this day.
During the Civil War, the Con
federate Government took posses
sion of the buildings and turned
Rutledge College into a hospital.
Later, East Rutledge and the

chapel were occupied by federal
officers and part of the 'rooms
were used by United States author
ities in 1869. The House of Rep
resentatives also met in the chapel
at that time.
In 1873, a normal school was
established in West Rutledge.
In 1877, with the end of dark
days of Reconstruction, the uni
versity began to return to normal.
Once more Rutledge College had
a chapel in the center and boys'
dormitories in both wings.

century, electric lights were in

Accreditation was based on an
evaluation of the School of Jour

modern conveniences were added

Few changes were made in the
building until recent years. The
campus radio station, WUSC, was
installed two or three years ago
on the third floor of the center
section. This summer, the dormi
tory wings (tenements 6, 7, 9 and
10) were completely remodeled.
