Notes:: The 1925 school yearbook included this from the student secretary of Tillinghast Hall: "We were faithful to the last even when, early in the morning on December tenth, we gazed upon the ruins of old Tillinghast. The memory of that day will remain with us for a long while, although now we have become accustomed to other quarters. Tillinghast spelled Home to us, and that spirit has helped and will help us to have similar feelings for the various dormitories in which we are now living." Photograph was probably taken from the third floor of Woodward Hall.
