From a story published in the July 5, 1922, Edgefield Advertiser: Citadel Moving to New Buildings This is moving time at The Citadel and various articles of equipment are now being transferred to the buildings at the Hampton Park site, where in the fall the cadets will report for the new term. The Citadel library, composed of several thousand volumes, has already been moved to the new barracks building along with tables, chairs, book racks and other equipment and motor trucks are hauling apparatus and supplies from the chemical laboratory, to be installed in new quarters. Considerable progress is being made on the hospital at the Hampton Park campus and various activities are going forward to be ready in the fall for the big opening. It is understood that the faculty members, for the most part, will continue to use the present quarters at Marion Square, as a delay has developed in plans for erecting officers' residences at Hampton Park this summer. This will mean considerable inconvenience to the professors but they are taking the situation philosophically. loc.gov/resource/sn84026897/1922-07-05/ed-1/?sp=1&st=text&fbclid=IwY2xjawLKP0lleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFMemdZQ0ZRa1lRNFVKcERtAR7XqfXPnN40hJ9uTxlXOQmvfGQR2hM0RyEUDuZDi3xUcq6DdOjvm_h0cz551Q_aem_4mnMbPBUsxFLm1v8hbJmDw
