| Bio History Note | Wayne Barts graduated from Manchester College with the Class of 1972. These materials help describe Wayne's Manchester experience. In 1968 Wayne was a freshman at Manchester College. His all male dormitory was Schwalm Hall. Wayne doesn't know how the idea originated, but the freshmen got the idea of obtaining bricks, painting the bricks black, and writing the word, Manchester, on each one in gold. Wayne doesn't remember if all freshmen participated in this venture, or if it was just the men, or just the freshmen of Schwalm Hall? He vaguely remembers carrying the brick around campus for an unknown purpose. In any case, the brick remained with Wayne until the 2017-2018 academic school year when it was donated to the archives.
