Bus Tour from Beaufort to The Citadel

Pat Conroy has written extensively about his alma mater, The Citadel, and how it shaped both his writing and his life. Beginning with Daniel Library, where he spent the majority of ESPs (Evening Study Periods), the tour will encompass the landmarks most people have never seen. Pat wrote about his faith while a cadet, making a stop at Summerall Chapel a mandatory stop. As Vice Chairman of the Honor Committee, he spent many long, agonizing hours in the Honor Court on the third floor of Mark Clark Hall. We'll see McAlister Field House, site of the fiercely contested basketball games that Pat describes so vividly in My Losing Season. Stevens Barracks, Pat's home for four years, still stands, the only barracks at The Citadel that has not been torn down and rebuilt. These sights and more await those lucky enough to take the tour.
