Campus buildings not being fit for use, the trustees made arrangements for East Tennessee University to reopen March 1, 1866, in the Deaf and Dumb Asylum (later the Knoxville City Hall). On opening day, however, only about 20 students appeared, so East Tennessee University made a second consolidation with Hampden-Sydney Academy until the beginning of the winter term 1868 when the institution returned to its facilities on the Hill with 88 students, all in the Preparatory Department. The class of 1871 containing four members (S. A. Craig, T. C. Karns, Albert Setzepand, and J. W. C. Willoughby) was the first to graduate following the war.
