Abstract:
Oak Ridge Institute, which was built in 1852, closed in 1862 because the entire student body volunteered for service in the Confederacy. On the eve of its reopening in 1866, fire destroyed the school's main building. The following morning, undaunted educators and students made the determination to carry on in a log building with no desks until reconstruction could start.
