The relationship between AEPi and Fogarty Hall is strange, to say the least. At first glance there couldn’t possibly be a relationship, however in the early sixties a dispute between the fraternity and the uni- versity changed the face of the campus. The original AEPi fraternity house (above center) was located where Fogarty Hall now sits. In 1962, the house was condemcned j and students living in the house sought temporary shelter in the Browning Blue Room until a new building could be erected, or the old building renovated. Then in 1962 a bond issue passed the State of Rhode Island authorizing the building of a Pharmacy building on the Kingston campus. The site of the old AEPi | was chosen, and a new house for the fraternity was built on Fraternity and Sorority Circle on the other side of campus. In the mean time, the students spent the entire year in cramped quarters in Browning.

fogarty Hall Above: Following a bond issue ref- erendum in 1964, Fogarty Hall was built on the old AEPi Fraternity site. Fogarty primarily houses the College of Pharmacy. Left: As Fogarty looks today, across from the Memorial Union on the traffic circle, with trees and shrubbery which help to hide its typi- cal I960’s architectural style. 25
