Bio History Note

The original fountain, sometimes called the Alumni Fountain, was a present to the College from the Alumni Association.  It was dedicated on August 2,  1912,  and was located in front of and midway between Bumgerdner Hall and the Bible School building.   

The first fountain, was removed because of the construction of the Administration Building in which Bumgerdner Hall and the Bible School building were joined.  The dedication of the Administration building was in January of 1921.   A new fountain was built to the north, in the back of the Ad Building.  This fountain was built as a gift of the class of 1924
