The cornerstone for construction of South College, the first building built on the Amherst College campus, was laid August 9, 1820. The dedication of the building coincided with the inauguration of Amherst's first president, Zephaniah Swift Moore, on September 18, 1821. |

After serving as classroom, dormitory, laboratory, and chapel for a number of years, South underwent major renovations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, it is a freshman dormitory, like its neighbor on the other side of Johnson Chapel, North College (King, 310-311). (Photo taken 12 October 2001). | ||
