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 .
