During the summer after the destruction of the University all of the Trustees and fac- ulty sent in their resignations, with the ex- ception of Dr. Garland, who thought that hy using the basement of the president's home and the observatory as a lecture room, exer- cises could be resumed. The trustees ap- pointed Dr. Wyman and Rev. Robert B. White as assistants. When the time came to open only one student presented himself and the experiment fell through and became a failure, owing to the collapse of the Con- federate government.
The legislature which convened on the third Monday in November, 1865, passed an Act which provided for a loan of seventy thousand dollars to the University from the State treasury, to enable the trustees "to re-
build the University and provide it with the means of imparting a thorough education." The Act which was approved February 20, 1866, required "that from and after the 1st of January, 1870, one-half of the annual in- terest on the University fund should be re- tained by the treasurer of the State until the whole amount borrowed, with the inter- est thereon, should be paid." The same legislature by an Act approved February 21, 1866, changed the method of appointing trustees. This Act required that whenever any vacancy should occur in the board of trustees it should he the duty of the gov- ernor to nominate to the Senate a suitable person residing in the district to fill the vacancy, and if such person should be con- firmed by the Senate he should be the trus- tee for the time prescribed by law. Prior to the passage of this Act the trustees were elected by the vote of the two houses of the Legislature in joint convention.
In June, 1866, the board met in Montgom- ery, and took measures for the speedy re- building of the University. Col. J. T. Murfee presented a plan which was adopted. At this session of the Board, Dr. Garland, who for nineteen years had been president, tendered his resignation.
In January, 1867, the first new building was started on the grounds, and was when completed named in honor of the first president, Alva Woods Hall. The successful construc- tion of this hall was due largely to the work of Gov. Robert Patton and James H. Fitts, Esq., the latter financial agent.
When the reconstruction Acts were passed by Congress, it was made necessary for the State to hold a new constitutional conven- tion, which made a number of changes in the laws of the State.
The trustees of the University met in Mont- gomery in October, 1867. They offered the position of President to Dr. Henry Tutwiler, who declined it, and Dr. W. S. Wyman was appointed acting-president. Under the new constitution a hody styled "the hoard of edu- cation" was created and the duties of the trustees ceased, because this body was also a "hoard of regents of the State University." The regents assembled in the city of Mont- gomery in July, 1868. Dr. Wyman was pres- ent and made his report. The first official act of the hoard was to declare "null, void, and of no effect all acts of any body pretend- ing to have been since the secession of Ala- hama, the board of trustees of the Univer- sity." Dr. Wyman, after the adoption of these resolutions, remained only long enough for the examination of his books, after which he retired. The regents immediately elected him president, but he refused to accept and they elected Prof. Cyrus Northport who also declined to he president. During 1870-71 William R. Smith served as president. The board of regents in the latter year selected Dr. Nathaniel T. Lupton as chairman of the faculty. He successfully discharged his duties as such until he was elected president by the regents, filling that position three years.
In 1873 the law department was estab-

lished with H. M. Sommerville as professor.
Dr. Lupton was succeeded in 1874 by Dr. Carlos G. Smith, who did much toward re- building the University, and advancing its prosperity, and increasing the number of stu- dents. In 1875 the control of the regents was abolished and the University passed back into the hands of the trustees. The years 1875 to 1888 were marked by the granting of a new charter to the University by the Constitutional Convention of the former year, the election of Gen. Josiah Gorgas as presi- dent, his retirement, the selection of Hon. Burwell B. Lewis as his successor, Dr. Wy- man again president pro tem, the appoint- ment of a joint committee of trustees and Alumni to devise ways and plans, "to secure the necessary funds with which to add to the University buildings, enlarge its library and apparatus, and increase its facilities in other directions"; the passage of a bill grant- ing additional loans to the University; the establishment of the chair of civil engineer- ing, the appointment of Col. T. C. McCorvey as professor of mental and moral philosophy.
The present buildings were begun by ground being broken February 20, 1884. Due largely to the influence of Senator Morgan, Congress passed an Act approved April 23, 1884, which granted to Alabama 46,080 acres of land, to be applied "to the erection of suit- able buildings for the University and to the restoration of the library buildings," etc., which had been destroyed by fire by the Fed- eral troops when they burned the University.
The students of the University placed a marble memorial in Clark hall in memory of Dr. Lewis, whose death occurred "on the threshold of the collegiate year of 1885-86."
Soon after the death of Col. Lewis, the trustees for the third time tendered the presidency to Dr. W. S. Wyman, who again declined the honor. In June, 1886, Gen. Henry D. Clayton (q. v.) was elected presi- dent, and his death occurred October 13, 1889. He was succeeded by Dr. Richard C. Jones (q. v.) in June, 1890, who, in addition to his executive duties, also conducted the classes in International and constitutional law.
During Dr. Jones' administration the trus- tees of the University established a course in mining engineering, in February, 1890, which was opened to students October 1 of that year. The "Crimson White," the student paper, and the "Corolla," the college annual, were established by the students; additional funds were appropriated by the general as- sembly, and the condition of the affairs of the University was very prosperous.
Possibly the greatest event of the adminis- tration of Dr. Jones was the action of the trustees in making the school a co-educational institution. The catalogue of 1893-94 states that young women will be admitted, but that they must be prepared to take up studies no lower than the sophomore class. If they did not have time to take a regular course, they were permitted to take a select course.
Dr. James K. Powers (q. v.) became president in 1897, remaining with the Uni-
versity until 1901 when he resigned. Dur- ing the interim between his resignation and the inauguration of Dr. John W. Aber- crombie, Dr. William S. Wyman served as acting-president. While Dr. Abercrombie was president the summer school was estab- lished by Act of the legislature approved Oc- tober 1, 1903, with an appropriation of five thousand dollars annually.
By an Act approved March 6, 1907, the University fund was redefined and twenty- five thousand dollars was appropriated in ad- dition to the other funds. In addition to the above, one hundred thousand dollars was appropriated "for the purpose of making needed improvements." The annual appro- priation was increased from $25,000 to $50,- 000 by an Act of April 12, 1911. Half of this amount was designated to be used for the medical department.
John W. Abercrombie was succeeded by Dr. George H. Denny as President. A brief summary of the work accomplished under his administration follows.
The entrance requirements were raised to national standards. The institution was rec- ognized by the leading institutions of Amer- ica and Europe. The complete standardiza- tion of the professional schools of the Uni- versity. The development of the educational equipment and apparatus. The faculty has been increased and salaries raised 50%. The enlargement of the physical plant by the erec- tion of new buildings.
Co-education has rapidly developed, and a School of Mines and a Department of Busi- ness. The U. S. Bureau of Mines has estab- lished a mine experiment station. Schools of fine arts, music and home economics have been created and the department of Univer- sity extension developed.
The student body has grown from 400 in the session of 1911-12 to 1,350 in 1920-21, and the summer school from 300 in 1912 to 800 in 1920. Careful administration has been made of the endowment fund, which has resulted in the growth of this fund and the income available.
The Phi Beta Kappa fraternity has been reorganized at the University.
The University is administered through the following organizations:
1. The college of arts and science.
2. The school of education.
3. The college of engineering.
4. The school of law.
5. The school of medicine.
6. The summer school for teachers.
University grounds near Tuscaloosa com- prise nearly three hundred acres. The build- ings are:
Woods Hall, "which formed the rear line of the University quadrangle, is a building of four stories. The first floor contains the dining hall, the University postoffice, and the supply store. The second, third, and fourth stories are appropriated mainly to stu- dents' apartments.'
Manly Hall contains the administrative offices, and students' apartments; it forms the west side of the quadrangle.

HISTORY OF ALABAMA
Clark Hall contains the library and read- ing room and is the central building on the south front of the quadrangle. The second floor is used for social purposes.
Garland Hall is used as a dormitory for students, and forms the east side of the quad- rangle.
Smith Hall, named in honor of Dr. Eugene A. Smith, situated on the eastern side of the campus, is dedicated to the natural science. In it are the Alabama Museum of Natural History and the lecture rooms and laboratories of the geological and biological departments of the University, and the offices, library, and chemical laboratory of the geological survey.
Comer Hall, named in honor of Gov. B. B. Comer, who signed the bill which made it possible for the new buildings to be erected, occupies the northwestern corner of the campus. It is the engineering building, and contains the laboratories of the departments of engineering, the department of physics, and the University power plant.
Morgan Hall, the academic building, bears its name in honor of Senator John T. Morgan, who was responsible for the granting of addi- tional government lands to the University. It contains the lecture rooms of the depart- ments of arts and sciences, and the lecture rooms and libraries of the department of law and education. In addition it also con- tains an auditorium with seating capacity of a thousand.
Tuomey Hall is used exclusively by the chemical department. It is situated on the eastern part of the campus.
Barnard Hall, opposite Tuomey Hall, con- tains the rooms of the Y. M. C. A.
The School of Medicine buildings, which were formerly located in Mobile, were vacated when the school was removed to Tuscaloosa, are now on the campus. It is planned to have separate buildings for that department.
Julia Tutwiler Hall, the woman's dormi- tory, was completed in 1914; it is situated on the south side of University Avenue, and was named for Miss Julia Tutwiler (q. v.), who did probably more than anyone to secure the admission of young women to the Uni- versity. This dormitory is colonial in archi- tecture and is of red brick, with white orna- mental fixtures and trimmings. It furnishes space for the housing of eighty-six women students. It is steam heated and has all mod- ern accommodations.
The Gymnasium is the most recently con- structed of all the buildings. It is colonial in architecture and is of red brick with white mortar joints and trimmings. This building has a floor space of 24,500 square feet, and includes a large hall for general exercises, 63 by 11212 feet, rooms for boxing, wrestling and special exercises, trophy room, rooms for athletic teams, locker rooms, baths, and offices.
The athletic field, comprises eighty acres, and is in rear of the gymnasium.

collections now number over 50,000 volumes, and the library either subscribes to or re- ceives complimentary over a hundred periodi- cals. The University has been designated as a government depository. The law depart- ment, education department, and engineering department all maintain separate libraries.
The Alumni Society was founded and in- corporated soon after the establishment of the University. In June, 1885, it resolved to establish "The Educational Fund," for the assistance of meritorious students who have not the means to secure a college edu- cation. The Alumni Society publishes the "University of Alabama Alumni News."
