Description
The beautiful Chapel of Memories in the spring. This chapel means so much to me. It is one of my favorite spots on campus!
"Finished in 1966, the Chapel of Memories is a neo-Gothic small church in the middle of campus. It was built from bricks salvaged from the much-loved Old Main, the longtime men’s dormitory whose core was built in 1879 and which burned in a great conflagration in 1959. The Jackson firm Dean & Pursell designed the chapel, complete with a cloister and fountain to the side. Step inside and you find a beautiful combination of Gothic seeming-oldness with a modern twist. The only ornament is the simple wooden screen between the entry and chapel and the exposed brick and wood structure, but the scattered crumbs of colored glass inserted into the brick walls give the chapel a pleasant diffuse glow at most times of the day." A great write-up by Preservation in Mississippi.
