September 18, 2018- Beautiful Orton Hall finally got what it has been missing the past 125 years: a dinosaur skeleton in the lobby. Thanks to the generosity of hundreds of donors--from preschoolers to college students to energy companies--a Cryolophosaurus ellioti now graces that wonderful old building. Perfect. |
October 1. Tis the season!!! |
Capital of a column in Orton Hall. Many of these feature skulls of apes and modern and ancient humans. Campus folklore has long held that a ghostly caveman haunts the halls of this 125-year-old building. Blood red stone in the column is Berea sandstone from the Waverly formation. |
