This circa-1850 view shows the Union Seminary building (now Venable Hall, before which the graduation ceremony takes place) and two professors’ houses. The sketch from which this lithograph was made was perhaps done from memory (not unusual in those days), since it is correct in large details but inaccurate in small ones.

New College was the result of the crusading fund-raising efforts of President Jonathan Cushing; it is now named in his honor. Begun in 1822 and completed in 1833, it replaced the 18th-century buildings and set a new north-south orientation for the campus. This woodcut, the earliest known image of Hampden-Sydney College, appears in Henry Howe’s “Historical Collections of Virginia” (1845); the drawing probably dates to his visit in 1843.

Welton, Class of 1919, architect of several other College buildings, the Bell Tower was named for Asa D. Watkins, a beloved professor of English. It incorporates bricks from the homes of Founders and early Trustees of the College. The bell is still rung to signal the change of classes each day.
