Treasures from the Archives
Some campus shenanigans
are destined for the archives

Cleaning fields at the Earl Hebner
farm near Monticello after an April 1974 tornado. That's John Lahman
'75 standing behind the truck, and
Scott Garrett '76x perched on
the rear of the truck.

About 100 area college students helped clean up the Tom Hughes farm after a 1974 tornado.

Among the thousands of photographs in the Archives are 27 glass slides
donated by Christine Schweisberger '94 Rust and her father, Robert
Schweisberger '62 in March 2005. The faint black-and-white images tell an
engaging story of campus life and scenes in the early 1900s.
They also tell a story about how much has changed, in photographs of
long-ago classes and buildings. Pictured fuzzily here is a much-different,
balconied Oakwood Hall. Not only is today's Oakwood Hall different in
structure, it is co-ed, with two-bedroom suites that make hallway dashes to
the bathroom unnecessary.
Campus spirit giggles forth in this image from the 102-photograph album of
Edith Yaney Shafer '23n. The women are trying to perch on the pedestal of
the original Alumni Fountain between Baumgardner Hall and the Chapel. The
fountain was removed when the two buildings were connected to form the
Administration Building in 1921.
