I was looking at a file cabinet full of old video and when I turned around I was happily surprised to see two pictures of campus I’d never seen before.
The first is just a lovely image made in 1923 of the Administration Building and the landscaping around it from an angle we rarely find:
The other one is even more remarkable, a fantastic view of the back of the Fieldhouse taken in, I think, 1922. The birds aren’t real but the airplane is:
I promised to bring them back but they turned out to be the originals so I’m not going to! Don’t worry, though–I’ll make nice copies for them.
Bonus: Hallelujah.
P-t-ero-dact-yl!
The pic on the football field ‘peeked’ my curiosity.
I analyze that as football practice, with the 3 men under the goal post as punt receivers, about to take turns receiving punts.
Any other ideas?
I wrote an earlier comment which has NOT been posted yet.
I will add that I think all the footballers are watching that biplane doing stunts.
Today I viewed the old Rice Field House. (I have a narcissistic urge to see my name in print.)
I noted the high windows in the middle of that building.
Does anyone know whether there was a basketball court in that field house?
Are you kidding me? Of course I know whether there was a basket ball court in that field house.
Yes.
Melissa,
You MUST have noticed: I never ‘kid around’.
Seriousness is my middle name.
