This past Sunday I visited the campus for my fourth time to take some photos for a new section of the website I'm working on. While I was there I noticed something that, honestly, I'm a bit ashamed of not ever noticing during any of my past visits.



Located at the left rear corner of the Administration Building is this display. The stone is the original cornerstone from the Main Building that was built in 1848. I'm curious as to how the cornerstone got to where it is now. In 1950, during the construction of the Admissions Building debris from the Main Building was unearthed. I wonder if the stone was found among the debris, or if it was saved when the building was demolished around 1900. Either way, this is the only remaining piece of the Main Building (that I know of), and I'm grateful to whoever decided to put it on display.
