Old Numbers

This is another day, tomorrow actually, when Jason D. Moore Photography blog has his bi-monthly photo share day; http://jasondmoore.com/blog/. The subject this time was 'Old Numbers'. Every picture should tell a story so. . .

If you saw yesterday's post, I went back to my undergraduate college, Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, NE last weekend. Here's the side of one of two arches that greets you at the west entrance to the university. This one was from the class of 1897, the other one is from the class of 1886, but it's date reads "96" and since this was supposed to be 'old numbers' I thought the complete date of 1897 looked better.


Here's the arch from 1896, from the first graduating class from NWU. When I went there we were the "Plainsman" now they are the "Prairie Wolves", don't know exactly why the change. There must be a good story behind that change!
