History
Of
The Citadel
The Old Location and the New
From December 20, 1842, when the legislature ofSouth Carolina passed an
act providing for the establishment of The Citadel, to September 1922, the
collegewaslocatedonMarionSquare. Since 1922,TheCitadelhasbeensituated
on a beautiful campus between Hampton Park and the Ashley River.
The Origin ofthe Name
The Citadel derived its name from the building in which it was first housed.
Erected as a state arsenal after the Denmark Vesey slave uprising in 1822, this
sturdy old fortress, which still dominates Marion Square, was called The Cita-
del. It was garrisoned by Federal troops, then by state troops, until they were
replacedinMarch 1843by 20 students whocomprisedthefirstCorpsofCadets.
The cadets served as guards for the state's arms and pursued a course of study
designed to make them useful citizens in time ofpeace as well as war. With its
sister college, The Arsenal, established at the same time in Columbia, The
Citadel was apartofthe South CarolinaMilitary Academy. In 1845, regulations
governing the institution subordinated The Arsenal to The Citadel, and thereaf-
ter, The Arsenal trained only freshmen. The Arsenal burned in 1865 and was
never reopened.
TheCitadel in theCivil War
—
The Founders men like General D. F. Jamison, who laterpresided overthe
convention at which the Ordinance—of Secession was signed, and Governors J.
P. RichardsonandJ. H. Hammond hadforeseenthatthe statewouldneedmen
with military training. When trouble between the North and South erupted in
war, the record of Citadel alumni and cadets vindicated the foresight of the
founders. Ofthe 224 alumni living at the time ofthe Civil War, 193 wore the
Confederate gray, all but 20 as commissioned officers and four as generals.
Sixty-seven Citadel me—n were killed in battle. —

Star ofthe West, a steamer sent by the Federal Government to relieve the fort.
Made apart ofthe military organization ofthe stateby legislative actofJanuary
28, 1861, the Corps of Cadets helped emplace and guard artillery on James
Island, performed guard duty in Charleston, and on December 7 and 9, 1864,
suffered several casualties inengagements withUnion troops atTulifinny Creek
near Yesmassee Station.
From February 18, 1865, when aUnion force marched into Charleston, until
April 1879, the buildings on Marion Square were occupied by Federal troops,
and the operation of the college was suspended.
The ReopeningAfterthe Civil War
The Citadel reopened on October 2, 1882, with an enrollment of 185 cadets.
Though the Corps no longer served as arsenal guard, the military system ofthe
antebellum years was continued.
In 1910 the name of the college was changed to The Citadel, The Military
College ofSouth Carolina. During the administration ofMayor T. T. Hyde, the
City Council ofCharleston gave the state the present site ofthe college in 1918.
In the fall of 1922, the college began operating at its new location.
The Student Body
In 1864 there were 145 cadets in the Corps. When the move to the new
campus wasmade,therewas almost300cadets. In 1947-48, 2,271 students were
enrolled, including cadets and veterans. Nearly 3,500 veterans ofWorld War II
and the Korean Conflict, most of whom were civilian students, attended the
college underthe G.I. Bill. That Citadel program forveterans ended in 1960but
was resumed in 1967. Currently, several hundred male veteran students attend
classes asfull-time students withthe CorpsofCadets whichmaintains astrength
ofapproximately 2,000 cadets. The Citadel Evening College is a coeducational
environment which has offeredUndergraduate Programs since 1966 and Gradu-
ate Programs since 1968. These programs serve nearly 1,500 citizens from the
Charleston area. In addition, The Citadel offers a coeducational Summer Pro-
gram.
Seven hundred Citadel alumni served in the armed forces in World War I,
and 15 were killed. About 6,000 alumni were on active service in World War
II. Ofthese alumni, 277 died fortheircountry. Some 1,500 were on active duty
during the Korean Conflict; 450 were in combat, and 31 gave theirlives. Sixty-
six made the supreme sacrifice in the Vietnam War. One graduate was killed in
Lebanon combat in late 1983, another in the invasion of Grenada, and Citadel
graduates served in positions ofresponsibility in the Middle East area. Virtually
all graduates on active duty have served as commissioned officers.
