20 Tradition... The story of North Hall goes back to the time Adrian College began in Adrian. Less than a month after the college was chartered, it es- tablished a building committee and by that sum- mer of 1859 construction was under way. The dark clouds of Civil War hung over the city, and within a year the residents of Adrian asked for and obtained permission to house the Fourth Regiment of the Michigan Volunteers. The early buildings were the pride of the com- munity. Judge Beecher in 1861 described them as “superior in every way to those of the state university,” and a trustee committee in 1876 called them “a monument to the intelligence, good taste and liberality of the founders and patrons of the college.” But all was not favorable for long. On October 21, 1880, fire broke out in North Hall. The ex- tent of the damage was great, but the extent of the ingenuity of the trustees was, too. The build- ing was insured for $7,000, a large sum at the time, but not enough to remove the college’s debt lingering from the Recession of 1873. The trustees used the North Hall fire as a starting point in raising funds, and were successful to the point that they took the college out of debt, and into good financial condition once again. In 1904 electricity was introduced to the cam- pus and to North Hall under the leadership at that time of Dr. Brayman W. Anthony of Castle Shannon, Pa. Ironically, 50 years later, another resident of Castle Shannon, Dr. John H. Dawson, assumed the presidency of Adrian. Near the close of World War I, the building of many uses was called on again to house sol- diers. This time the Student Army Training Corps, a group of student-soldiers, lived in North Hall from October to December, 1918. Several stayed on to graduate later, and they held a reunion on campus in 1969. With the completion of new North Hall, a new era will start at Adrian, one in which every stu- dent will have new facilities in which to study and the pressing need to educate the modern youth will take place in modern surroundings— colored by a respect for the legions of persons who remembered North Hall and made Adrian’s current role possible.
