History
The current auditorium dates from 1970, five years after a fire destroyed the first structure. That original auditorium was built in 1904 to seat about 2,000 people, but fire ravaged the building in 1965. The auditorium's name honors Dr. James A. McCain, who retired in 1975 after 25 years as university president.
