It’s funny how two unrelated people can look so similar. You may have noticed from some of the comments about the mystery images, that their identity can easily be mistaken. A faithful and helpful reader of this blog pointed out to me (offline ) that one of the images in my last post was not [...]

Mystery Image #7

I have two different views of this prof for you to consider and therefore two photos that need to be filed in the right place. The computer in the first view may help place him in time. I was curious about the sign below the prof in the computer picture so I enlarged it and [...]

I kind of have a feeling that I should know who this guy is — but I don’t. Architecture — got that. Professor — check. If it’s obvious to everyone but me, then so be it. Let the comments roll! How about that pointer — doesn’t it seem a little out of proportion? Maybe everything [...]
Mystery Image #4 – two for one

This is a two for one special — ID this person and two unidentified photos find a home. The first photo brings back bad memories of organic chemistry. The 3D molecules that he’s holding didn’t help me at all. There are some more clues in the second photo. We see a chemistry lab nicely staged [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for another round of Mystery Image. There is still a thick folder of unidentified photographs on my desk so let’s get to it! My best guess about this prof is that he is/was in the School of Engineering. The nicely written notes on the blackboard are Greek to this history [...]

Grand Marshal Week is just ahead and the campus is covered in campaign signs. This past week, while looking through a scrapbook compiled by Dwinel French Thompson, I found a few news clippings regarding GM week during the 1870s. Before I get to that, I should tell you a little about Dwinel (interesting name isn’t [...]

Who is this corn cob pipe smoking, bow tie wearing professor at the typewriter?

Do you know this professor? Can you identify any of the formulas on the blackboard?
