William J. Samford Hall is a structure on the campus of Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. It is an icon of Auburn University and houses the school's administration. The building is named for William J. Samford, the Governor of Alabama from 1900 to 1901.HistoryWhen Auburn University opened in 1859, classes were held in a structure named "Old Main" on the current site of Samford Hall. On June 24, 1887, Old Main was destroyed by fire. The following year, Samford Hall was constructed, using, in part, bricks salvaged from the ruins of Old Main. The design of Samford Hall roughly mirrored that of Old Main, except that Samford Hall had two main entrances instead of Old Main's one, and on Samford one of the two flanking towers was considerably taller and was constructed to contain a clock. In 1889, a clockworks and bell were added to the taller tower.Through the late 19th century, Samford Hall was the college's main classroom building and contained the library. In May 1929, the building was officially named for William J. Samford. In 1941, the tower's mechanical clock was converted to run on electricity, and in 1977, a carillon was added. Samford Hall underwent major renovations in 1971, and the original clockworks were replaced in 1995. Today, Samford Hall houses the school's administration, accounting, planning, and public relations offices.

Langdon Hall is a building on the campus of Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, United States. Built in the Greek Revival style in 1846 as the chapel for the Auburn Female College (today Auburn High School) and moved to the Auburn University campus in 1883, Langdon Hall is the oldest building in the city of Auburn, and today houses an auditorium and office space for Auburn University staff. Before the Civil War, Langdon Hall served as the location for a series of debates on the question of Southern secession, involving William Lowndes Yancey, Alexander Stephens, Benjamin Harvey Hill, and Robert Toombs. Langdon Hall is named for Charles Carter Langdon, a former mayor of Mobile, Alabama, Alabama Secretary of State, and a trustee of Auburn University from 1872 - 1889.HistoryEarly historyLangdon Hall was built as the chapel for the Auburn Female College in 1846. Prior to the chapel's construction, public lectures were held in the Methodist church, then town's only public hall. Public feeling was that such lectures were inappropriate for a church, and members of the congregation contributed funds for the building's construction. The chapel was sited across from the Methodist church, on the current northeast corner of Gay Street and Magnolia Avenue. Upon construction, the chapel held the largest auditorium in east Alabama, and as such served as the regional center for lectures and political debates. The lower level of the chapel held the Female College's chemistry laboratory, which was expanded in the 1850s by professor John M. Darby to produce the patent disinfectant Darby's Prophylactic Fluid. When the East Alabama Male College opened in 1859, Darby taught joint chemistry classes in the chapel jointly with the Female College students.

WHY A PLANNED GIFT? Many donors chose to give a planned gift to extend their loyal support beyond their lifetime, while realizing substantial benefits for themselves today. Aside from the many financial benefits of a planned gift, donors help others by maintaining and advancing the quality of education for students, providing a dean with funds to address needs in targeted areas of education, alluring professors to Auburn who will attract outstanding students, and most importantly supporting an area of research, education, or program that the donor is passionate about!

Our first project: we hope to increase the physical activity that HSOP students participate in on a regular basis. We would like to organize an HSOP 5K, and add a Class competition. The class that participates in the most organized physical activity (walks, 5k's, intramurals, gym classes) gets a trophy/award. Our annual 5k raises awareness of obesity on Auburn's campus and in our community. Last year we raised over $1300 for Mercy Medical Clinic in Auburn and we hope to double that this year! Come out and join us in a fun event with a great cause!
