THE KIVETT BUILDING As long as there ' s a Campbell College, the name of Z. T. Kivett will be revered as one of its noblest benefactors. After the schoolhouse was destroyed by fire December 20, 1900, J. A. Campbell, students, and friends began to make plans for another building. The corner stone was laid May 23, 1901, and the job was completed November 2, 1903. The erection of this new building, estimated to cost over $30,000, was one of the most sacri- ficial ventures ever undertaken here. Some students and friends subscribed nickels and dimes to buy bricks; others without money cut wood to burn bricks here on the campus and supplied bricks to masons on the job. The genius of the whole enterprise was Z. T. Kivett, who lived in an improvised shack nearby and burned the brick and supervised the entire construction. After the Academy became a junior college in 1926, Kivett Building was used by the local elementary school until 1948, when it was completely renovated and converted into a science hall. The oldest building on the campus, Kivett towers sturdily above the others as a benignant lather looking proudly at his offspring growing into maturity and usefulness.
