Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The building was designed by A.C. Nash, who also designed Wilson Library, the Carolina Inn, Venable Hall, and Spencer Dormitory. The faculty and classes of the English department were housed there from 1952 until the completion of Greenlaw Hall in 1970. Prior to moving to Bingham Hall, the Department of English had occupied the second floor of Murphey Hall since 1922. Bingham Hall is named for Robert Bingham (1838-1927), a UNC graduate in 1857 who fought in the Civil War and served as headmaster of the Bingham School in Mebane. A white supremacist, he wrote and spoke in favor of racial purity and against Black American suffrage. Bingham Hall currently houses the Department of Communication and awaits renovation.
