Capers Hall is named in honor of two brothers, Brigadier General Ellison Capers, C.S.A., Citadel 1857, and Major Francis W. Capers, Superintendent of The Citadel from 1852-1859. Brigadier General Ellison became one of the four alumni who attained the rank of general during the Civil War. In addition, he was an Episcopal bishop and chancellor of the University of the South in Tennessee. The building houses classrooms, offices and other areas for English, Computer Science, Mathematics, History, Modern Lauguages, Political Science, Education, and Psychology. The Rosemary Breckinridge Galloway Writing Center is housed on the first floor of Capers Hall. The south wing of Capers Hall was dedicated to the memory of Mr. Rodney Williams at the request of his wife.
