Tally ho!

Remember the Thomas Hart Benton murals I got so excited about two years ago that I made a 3-D recreation of the room? Well, poking around among the catalogs of the Freshman Year Program and the Seminar College I find that the room has a special relationship to my college. It was not only used as a classroom, but was there "Orientation" took place - the gathering of the whole college when faculty members described their upcoming courses and students, through a lottery called "tally," signed up for them. The photos b&w but tally definitely wasn't!
