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.
