In 1929, Brewer was one of the finest facilities in the Midwest and the Big Six conference. But the building grew old and was replaced by the $10.5 million Hearnes Center. In the late 60's, upon construction of the Hearnes Complex, Brewer Fieldhouse ceased in activity significantly. The basketball team no longer played on Fieldhouse's wooden court, switching to Hearne's tartan floor in 1972. But rather than tear Brewer-Fieldhouse down, funds were dedicated to it. New courts, tracks, and locker rooms were planned. Brewer-Fieldhouse would reopen in 1975.

The University holds the annual Tiger Walk event. Every year before school starts, freshmen symbolize their integration into the University through walking through the Columns.

The Columns weren't always just columns. Before Jesse Hall was erected, "Academic Hall" stood at the epicenter of campus and its activities. However, in 1892, this building burned down, leaving the six columns.

A look at the Columns right after "Old" Academic Hall burned down in 1892.

Company A of the University's R.O.T.C takes a picture for the yearbook in front of the Columns. Addition the 1920 copy of the Savitar.

In order to preserve the Columns, the University treated the columns to protect them from weather. During the summer of 1938, the Columns were also stripped of their ivy because it damaged the stone.

A face-view of Memorial. Notice how on the right side of the photo, Memorial seems to be missing a wing. This south wing wasn't constructed until two years later.

Construction on Memorial Student Union begins in 1923.

This picture from the 1930 displays the complete construction of the original tower. However, the tower stood alone for quite sometime. It wasn't until 1950 that the north wing would finally come about.

The 1920 Savitar shows a sketch of the prospective "Student Union." The monument was erected in honor of the former students who lost their lives during the World War I. Construction on the tower began three years later.

This drawing from the 1953 edition of the Savitar proposes a look at the completed Memorial Union. At the time, though, on the north wing had been built. Only in 1962, with the addition of the south wing, would Memorial Union resemble this drawing.

Much construction occurred in 1998, revitalizing Jesse's look. The dome was repainted and remodeled, and extra exterior repairs were made. This part of Jesse can be seen almost anywhere around campus.

In 1892, The University of Missouri's original Academic Hall burned down, leaving six columns. People say that the fire had been caused by the first electric light bulb west of the Mississippi River. The fire even spread as far as the Chancellor's Residence, but no significant damage was caused to it. "New" Academic Hall--later called Jesse Hall--was constructed in 1893. The Columns stand today as the iconic remains of the original Academic Hall.

This is one of the Savitar's first looks at Jesse Hall. Though this photo was taken in 1897, the University constructed Jesse Hall in 1895.

This is a view taken from inside of Jesse Dome. During Engineers' Week, usually held in the middle of March, the dome is lit green to honor St. Patrick, the patron saint of engineering.

Construction on Jesse in 1953. The East Wing Auditorium was completed in 1954. The original entrance to the auditorium was from the quad on the north side and seated 1,200 people. However, its wooden balcony was removed after being proclaimed a fire hazard. In 1953, renovations took place, and today it seats 1,732 people.
