What is the "Ghost of Old Chambers"?
The Ghost of Old Chambers is not actually a ghost, but is a building. On the morning of November 28, 1921, a fire consumed the Old Chambers building in a little more than six hours. Nobody was seriously hurt in the fire. Most of the students were able to recover a fair portion of their belongings, but the building was unable to be saved. A new Chambers building was rebuilt over the next several years and completed in 1929. The “ghost” is actually the outline of the original Chambers building that would appear on the front lawn of campus when the weather was dry.
