HAB Mystery Plaque


In class today, a plaque in front of the W side of Henry Admin Building (facing Green St) was mentioned....and it was surrounded with a mysterious tone. What were all the dashes and circles? Were they symbols for something? A trademark?

I whipped something out in Photoshop by memory since my camera wasn't working at the time....which is in the picture to the side.

The mystery of the plaque is solved....

The class of 1967 offered as their class gift two bronze plaques, one inscribed with the centennial symbol and the other dedicating it.


The first plaque mentions a "centennial colophon"......
The "o" and "lines" are "ones" and "zeros"....now it makes sense! It was supposed to read "100" - no matter what side you stand on.

Your view has now officially changed.
