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 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.

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.
