Title	1900s: University Chapel (formerly First Presbyterian Church)
Description	This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 67: Many API cadets became skilled at escaping compulsory church attendance on Sunday. Some skipped roll call in front of Langdon Hall with permission of their sergeants. Others pretended to be Roman Catholics during the years that Auburn didn't have a Catholic Church. Some marchers broke ranks and hid in or near "buildings, alleys, lumber piles, empty boxes and barrels, signboards, trees, and dense undergrowth" recalled an API student of 1908-13. During the opening prayer, a few jumped out of church windows. It is not know where the cadets in this undated photograph were headed, but they were in a hurry. The building, now the University Chapel, was Auburn's First Presbyterian Church from about 1851 to about 1917. Photo source: Auburn University Archives.
